THE GOOD
MELBOURNE GRAND PRIX
Daniel Ricciardo may have not made the podium in Sunday's Melbourne Grand Prix but his effervescence and constant smile has given the Australian Grand Prix a boost that event recent hero Mark Webber couldn't achieve. Melbourne started talking about 'its' Grand Prix again, something that has become almost taboo in recent years with the amount of state revenue involved for little financial, sporting or morale boost.

MANLY WINS AFTER HORROR WEEK
After losing their vaunted halves for next season and with months of reported disharmony Manly opened up a massive first half lead against the Melbourne Storm before holding on for an emotional win.
Manly survive Storm scare
JANKO'S RECORDING SCORING SPREE

THE BAD
AFL EXTENDED PRE-SEASON
At a time when the other football codes are now well into their grooves the AFL persists with an extended and meaningless pre-season. Scrap the pre-season and extend the season for purposes of draw fairness at the very least.THE REDS START TO THE SEASON
The Queensland Reds' season was hijacked by the drug allegations leveled at star signing Karmichael Hunt. After a fiery and hard fought win in round run of the Super Rugby season their season already looks to be one that will be less than fruitful. In a competitive Brisbane market the Reds cannot afford to let another season slide, especially this early into a season.
THE DOWNRIGHT UGLY
A tie between the EPL's Sunderland who not only were thrashed 4 nil at home by fellow strugglers Aston Villa but had the ignominious state of a half empty stadium just before half time and the potential career ending drug scandal surrounding Fremantle Docker's Ryan Crowley.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS? WHAT WERE YOUR GOOD, BAD AND DOWNRIGHT UGLY OF THE WEEKEND'S SPORT?
