71 Baroona Rd, MiltonPlace Paddington selling agent Michael Ford said the Milton property market had been overlooked as it was a relatively small inner-city suburb.“However, buyers have recognised the benefits from the lifestyle it affords you,” he said. “You can walk to international cultural and sporting events at Suncorp Stadium, enjoy the access to a number of top-performing schools, parks, quality cafes and fine dining, while still being able to train, bus or dare I say walk into the CBD.”The property goes to auction at 10am. Jim and Ailie Wagner and their two children Neill and Caitlin at their Milton home. Picture: Mark CallejaThe Wagner family from Milton are in desperate need of more space around their home as they prepare for the expansion of their family with baby No.3.And today, Jim and Ailie, who already have two children aged one and three, are very much looking forward to taking their home at 71 Baroona Rd to auction.“We’ve lived here for seven years,” Mr Wagner said. “My wife is heavily pregnant with our third child and we definitely need more space.”The three-bedroom, one-bathroom home is on a 433sq m block just a stone’s throw from Rosalie Village. 71 Baroona Rd, MiltonMore from newsMould, age, not enough to stop 17 bidders fighting for this home1 hour agoBuyers ‘crazy’ not to take govt freebies, says 28-yr-old investor7 hours agoMr Wagner said they had done some renovations to the property, including adding solar hot water, airconditioning, security screens and painting the home.He said major work to restore the front and back gardens had also been done, creating some off-street parking spaces.According to CoreLogic information, the median sale price for a home at Milton (12 months) is $965,000.Mr Wagner said the family planned to stay in the area. He thought the property would suit a young family or anyone who wanted a land holding in Milton.The home has open-plan living and dining areas and the kitchen has gas cooking plus a dishwasher. It has wide timber floors and high ceilings.
Yup, you guessed it, women’s hockey again.Early Thursday morning, the USA Hockey Foundation released this season’s Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award finalists.While three Badgers – forwards Meghan Duggan, Hilary Knight and Brianna Decker – were all under consideration, Duggan and Knight made it into the top 10. Noora R?ty of Minnesota and Laura Fortino from Minnesota-Duluth also represent the WCHA in the list of finalists.The award is given to the nation’s best female hockey player (comparable to the men’s Hobey Baker Award). Criteria for the award include individual and team skills, sportsmanship, clutch performance, character, competitiveness and an overall love for hockey. The player’s academics and civic involvement are also considered.While the nation’s best from each position are represented, Duggan leads the field, with Knight and Mercyhurst’s Meghan Agosta close behind her.In her career, Duggan has played 154 games, accruing a total of 230 points off 104 goals and 126 assists. Duggan has also scored 31 power play goals, five short-handed goals and 14 game winning goals. She boasts a plus/minus of plus-160 while also only sitting in the penalty box 66 times in her four-year career at Wisconsin.And she still has a few more games to play.Knight does present a good challenge to Duggan with 111 goals, but she has only 85 assists for a total of 196 points. Of course, those 34 fewer points come with one fewer season played.Looking at this season alone, Duggan trumps Knight and the other finalists.Duggan and Agosta are tied at 79 points to lead the nation, but Duggan has two more goals. Again, Knight is close behind with 75 points (and Decker is right after her with 72).Knight leads the nation in goals with 46, but she has only 29 assists on the season to Duggan’s 44.Looking at stats alone, Duggan and Agosta seem close. Agosta may have an edge in that respect, due to the fact she has played fewer games, but coming out of the CHA, Agosta only faced 16 conference games against the likes of Robert Morris. Duggan played 28 conference games against some of the nation’s best teams.Over winter break, Wisconsin and Mercyhurst faced off in St. Cloud, Minn. Wisconsin won 7-4. Agosta had a goal and an assist against UW freshman goaltender Alex Rigsby, while Duggan also scored a goal and posted an assist. But as a whole, Wisconsin was just too much for Mercyhurst.Sure, Agosta is keeping the race close for the award, but when it comes right down to it, the numbers Duggan has put up in the WCHA stand out more than the numbers Agosta has put up in the CHA.As I’ve mentioned before, the WCHA – especially on the women’s side – is to hockey what the SEC is in football.Week in and week out, Duggan plays some of the toughest teams in the nation. Right now, there are four WCHA teams in the top 10, while Mercyhurst is the only top 10 team in the CHA at No. 4 – behind both No. 1 Wisconsin and No. 3 Minnesota.Thursday night Duggan was named the WCHA Player of the Year after posting 61 points off of 27 goals and 34 assists through 28 conference games. Being named the player of the year out of the nation’s toughest conference proves Duggan is one of the best players in the country, if not the best.Agosta’s stats are impressive, but playing in a league where the competition isn’t exactly the strongest makes it a little easier to put up such good stats.Take last year’s Heisman Trophy race, for example. Kellen Moore may have had an impressive season, but playing in the WAC how do you not post impressive stats? No harm to Moore, but it’s no wonder why Cam Newton won. He ultimately led his team to the national championship coming out of the SEC, so of course his stats looked more impressive.But beyond the ice, Duggan is also one of the most appreciative and humble players in the league.Although she hates to lose, she also puts her team first, leading by example.“This place has given me everything and more,” Duggan said before senior day. “It’s changed my life a lot in the last four years. I owe everything I’ve been through to Wisconsin, the program, the staff and everything.”A few weekends ago Duggan broke UW’s points record of 220 points against Minnesota State Feb. 18, breaking the record with three assists in that game. Duggan had two goals and five assists in the record-breaking series.Duggan would rather share the puck and create better opportunities for her team to score and ultimately win than keep track of her total goals on the season.Sure, Agosta and Knight have also had strong, impressive seasons, but Duggan outshines them not only with a slight edge in stats – especially coming out of the WCHA – but also in her leadership and presence on the ice.Duggan’s one of the nation’s best, and she is the perfect candidate to bring the Patty Kazmaier Award back to Wisconsin.Kelly is a sophomoreintending to major in journalism.

Tuesday’s daily SP rankings feature a trio of bankable former Cy Young winners at the top, but you’re going to be limiting your offensive budget if you take any of them. Fortunately for those looking to save a few bucks for hitters, there are plenty of value sleepers in MLB DFS contests. Jack Flaherty (vs. Marlins) is relatively affordable and should be highly owned given his matchup, and Jake Arrieta (@ Nationals) is also in a good spot based on the stat splits. If you’re willing to accept a slightly lower ceiling, you can get great deals on Yusei Kikuchi (vs. Royals), Brett Anderson (vs. Orioles), and Ryan Yarbrough (@ Yankees), especially on DraftKings. Watch ChangeUp, a new MLB live whip-around show on DAZNThere aren’t a lot of obvious fades based on matchups, though David Price (@ Twins) and Patrick Corbin (vs. Phillies) seem slightly overpriced.

League average for position players is 100, and every point above 100 is a percentage point above league average. For example, a 125 wRC+ means a player created 25% more runs than a league average hitter would have in the same number of plate appearances. Similarly, every point below 100 is a percentage point below league average, so a 80 wRC+ means a player created 20% fewer runs than league average.” For more on the stat, click here.
Tour de France 2019: Julian Alaphilippe tightens yellow jersey grip with surprise time-trial win Alaphilippe passed another big test in the 73-mile ride from Tarbes to cross the line in second spot, stretching his advantage over defending champion Thomas by 36 seconds to 2:02.Alaphilippe claimed a surprise individual time-trial win Friday – the 100th anniversary of the yellow jersey – and made another statement to his rivals in the mountains.

The climbers will come to the fore on a narrow, twisting final ascent of 7.3 miles. Alaphilippe stuck to Thomas’ wheel on the brutal final ascent of iconic Tourmalet – where he sealed the King of the Mountains title last year – and continued to press on after moving past Thomas in the final mile.Thomas looked weary as he lost time on a stage witnessed by French President Emmanuel Macron, but Steven Kruijswijk dug in to finish third and remain in the same position of the general classification standings. Egan Bernal, Thomas’ teammate, was fifth and trails Pinot by three minutes, while Alejandro Valverde, Nairo Quintana and Richie Porte struggled.Warren Barguil and Elie Gesbert attacked before being reeled in on the lung-busting final climb, and it was Pinot who emerged from a group of a dozen to take the win.Last kilometre – Col du Tourmalet Watch, listen, enjoy Regardez, écoutez, profitez #TDF2019 pic.twitter.com/APufObsVZP— Tour de France(@LeTour) July 20, 2019 STAGE RESULT1.

Rose left the Cavs on Nov. 22 and only returned this week, Friday, Dec. 8, 2017. (AP Photo/Tony Dejak, File)INDIANAPOLIS — Derrick Rose is ready to start playing basketball in Cleveland again — once he’s healthy.The oft-injured point guard acknowledged Friday he has a bone spur in his left ankle that contributed to his decision to leave the team Nov. 22.ADVERTISEMENT OSG plea to revoke ABS-CBN franchise ’a duplicitous move’ – Lacson OSG plea to revoke ABS-CBN franchise ’a duplicitous move’ – Lacson Michael Porter Jr. stays patient as playing time increases He declined to say where he was, what he did or whether he pondered retirement. Rose even sidestepped a question about a potential target date for his return.“I’m taking it one day at a time. That’s the only thing you can do as far as your sanity,” he said. “You’ll go crazy if you try to overthink it or think you’re going to have a starting day and it’s not there.”One thing that has changed: Rose’s mindset.He thanked his Cleveland teammates and general manager Koby Altman for their support, which he said helped make the decision to come back easier. Now it’s just about getting healthy.“I was just figuring things out, thinking about this and that,” Rose said. “But I’m here for my team. I’m here to win. And that’s one of the reasons why I came back.”If Rose works his way back into form, it will only make the hottest team in the NBA better.The Cavs (18-7) already have four-time MVP LeBron James and perennial All-Star Kevin Love in the starting lineup and acquired one of the NBA’s best young point guards, Isaiah Thomas, in an offseason trade from Boston.Cleveland still has Tristan Thompson, J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert, each of whom played a key role in the Cavs’ championship run two years ago.They also added Dwayne Wade and Jae Crowder during the offseason.Right now, though, the Cavs are banged up. SBP to Fiba: Louder in ’23 Rose’s absence prompted some to speculate on his future plans and when he returned to the team earlier this week, some contended that the top overall draft pick in 2008 was only coming back to cash in on a lucrative contract.“It’s not about that. I’ve saved up enough money,” Rose said. “If I wanted to leave, I would have left. Like I said, coming back here, starting with rehab that’s my first step. Keeping it simple and just giving my team support and then I’ll see what I see off the court.”The Central Division leaders and three-time defending Eastern Conference champs have won 13 in a row and can break the franchise record with a road win over the surprising Pacers (14-11) on Friday night.Cleveland won all six games while Rose was gone.But what exactly Rose did during his absence, or when he could be back in uniform, remains unclear.ADVERTISEMENT In his first public comments since ending an almost two-week hiatus, Rose told reporters that he had apologized to his teammates, was content with the Cavaliers and insisted he couldn’t wait to get back on the court.“I was just figuring things out, thinking about this and that,” Rose said before the Cavs’ morning shootaround in Indianapolis. “But I’m here for my team. I’m here to win. And that’s one of the reasons why I came back.”FEATURED STORIESSPORTSTim Cone, Ginebra set their sights on elusive All-Filipino crownSPORTSGinebra beats Meralco again to capture PBA Governors’ Cup titleSPORTSAfter winning title, time for LA Tenorio to give back to Batangas folkBefore his departure, Rose had been slowed for weeks by an ankle injury.

No, no. Not at all,” Rose said when asked about his potential role. “I’ll be able to hoop. That’s all I want to do: Hoop and win. I don’t care about all the stuff that comes with it. I’m appreciative, I’m grateful to be on this team.”Sports Related Videospowered by AdSparcRead Next Almazan vows to comeback stronger after finals heartbreak LATEST STORIES Nonito Donaire vs Naoya Inoue is BWAA 2019 Fight of the Year MOST READ Nueva Ecija warehouse making fake cigarettes raided, 29 Chinese workers nabbed Don’t miss out on the latest news and information.
