It’s Grand Final weekend and as ever our Ultimate Sloth Weekend Sports TV Guide Australia is here to ensure that you can soak up as much sport as possible. Where too much is barely enough as Roy and HG would say.
With so much sport, and so many other jobs and people needing your attention on the weekend it is important to balance that out, to give you as much sloth time as possible.
Which is why we offer up the Ultimate Sloth Weekend TV Sports Guide for Australia, a suggestion of the best of the Australian TV Sport this weekend.
You will of course need a subscription sports package, but any mad Australian sports fan couldn’t survive on a diet of Gus Gould, Stats McAvaney and the poor excuse Channel Ten have for their F1 coverage these days.
Ultimate Sloth Weekend Sports TV Guide Australia Highlights
Here’s a quick overview of what’s ahead, with the full Ultimate Sloth Weekend TV Sports Guide for Australia with times and channels following.
GOLF
Golf is usually way too dull to be included in any sporting highlights package, the sport usually watched by people called Phil and Jeff, but this weekend sees the Ryder Cup, the battle of the USA and Europe.
Normally Australians would side with the Europeans, but knowing how much Donald Trump loves golf, it should seal the deal for all Aussie fans.
RUGBY LEAGUE
The NRL have their big day / night on Sunday, and they go for quantity and quality.
Three big games featuring the first ever Womens Grand Final, the awesome State Championship featuring the mighty Redcliffe Dolphins, and the NRL.
While the NRL sucks for continuing to have the Grand Final on a Sunday night instead of an afternoon, at least we get two games prior to get into the mood with.
There’s also the UK Super League Super 8’s getting into the business end with late night and early morning games galore.
AFL
Grand Final time, and of course it is in the traditional timeslot of September and Saturday afternoon. Mainly because the AFL run their game and not Channel Nein.
There’s only the one game though, so to avoid the fluff, tedious analysis, and inspirational slow motion montages find out the actual kick off time and tune in not more than 30 second before.
FORMULA 1
Russian Grand Prix time this weekend, usually a boring race but what else are you going to do on a Sunday evening. All the good stuff is over by then. The first few corners are pretty fun.
Less experience, but multiple times more fun are the Formula 2 guys, who have their usual two races over the weekend. The second race is a decent Sunday dinner timeslot.
FOOTBALL
A couple late night gems this week for the ultimate sports nerd – a Madrid derby between Real and Atletico and an Italian double-header of the Rome derby followed by first v second with added Ronaldo.
There’s also the token FTA game of football on SBS.

DRINK OF THE WEEK
It’s hard to imagine a weekend of sport on the lounge without a refreshing beverage, and each week we’ll recommend one for you as an accompaniment to all that sport.
THIS MONTH – SP LAGER
Nothing says refreshment like PNG’s finest beer, and a big game between a full strength Kumuls and Prime Minister’s XIII needs a full strength beer.

OBSCURE SPORTING SHIRT OF THE WEEK
To get into the mood for a good weekend of slothing and sport, it’s always good to wear a sporting shirt of some sort to attempt to justify to yourself and others about all the slothing ahead. And of course, the more obscure the shirt, the more respect you’ll get.

Want a Football shirt from an obscure lower division Spanish football team featuring beans, the local product?
