David Goggins is a man who knows how to set audacious goals and is able to achieve them.

Not only are the ex-Navy SEAL’s workout routines completely brutal, but he has run ultra -marathons to the point of breaking his feet, competed in double Ironman triathlons and recovered from some of the nastiest injuries an athlete can face, to name just a few of his achievements.

How does he do it? It’s not just because he is in peak physical condition, it is the fact he is also incredibly mentally tough.

In a recent Instagram video, which sees him running along to camera in typical David Goggins-style, he explains how setting goals help him achieve these superhuman feats.

In the video, Goggins explains that a man, who is a “big-time goal setter” pulled up to him at some traffic lights and asked him “why am I not getting better?” This is a question that the majority of us will have likely asked ourselves at some stage in our lives, especially if we’re regulars at the gym.

Goggins says he replied to the man asking, “Do you have fear in not reaching those goals?”

“You’re setting goals you know you can reach and when you do that, that fear, that insecurity, that doubt, that’s where you grow.”

The crux of what David Goggins is getting at is pretty simple: setting goals you know you can achieve means you are not pushing the boundaries of your capabilities.

It is an easy enough concept, but why do so few practice what they preach? Goggins attributes this to the fear of failure.

He says, “We are so afraid of failure that we always try to set ourselves up for success.”

“So many negative things come with failure…  [but] if we didn’t have people out there who weren’t afraid of setting massive goals, we wouldn’t have half the shit we have today.”

Former Australian NRL player Ben Lucas has previously spoken to DMARGE about setting goals, specifically in the context of building the perfect summer rig in only a short space of time.

He said that, while it’s not wrong at all to set audacious goals, you do still need to be realistic, “It is better to have a long term plan, but little incremental goals along the way to keep you motivated.”

If this sounds like you, then there is at least some solace in knowing you’re not alone. A number of celebrities have admitted to being scared of failing, including the most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps. He famously once said, “I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work even if they are uncomfortable at the time.”

When speaking on not achieving goals, Bill Gates has reportedly said, “It’s fine to celebrate success, but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.”

The takeaway from what David Goggins is saying, is that you shouldn’t be afraid to set audacious goals that others say you cannot achieve. Even if it ends in failure, you will have grown as a person for pushing the boundaries.

He’s one of the most successful musicians on the planet, but Ed Sheeran is refreshingly drama-free. He’s a pretty low-key bloke… Except when it comes to what he puts on his wrist.

The 31-year-old singer/songwriter – who has a net worth upwards of US$200 million and ranks as one of the most successful music artists of all time – has a particularly refined taste in timepieces. Indeed, he’s arguably one of the most discerning celebrity watch collectors on the planet.

While he has a few pieces in his collection that are typical ‘new money’ fare, such as Audemars Piguet Royal Oaks and Richard Milles, he’s also got some proper aficionado pieces, such as an A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk and a vintage Rolex Cosmograph Daytona “Paul Newman“… But there’s one watchmaker that dominates his collection: Patek Philippe.

Ed owns literally dozens of Pateks, most of which aren’t Nautiluses (like most celebrity Pateks) but are from Patek’s more old-school Calatrava and Complications collections. And now he’s added yet another to his collection: a World Time (ref. 5230P/001).

The ref. 5230, first introduced in 2016, harks back to the iconic Patek Philippe World Time watches of the 1930s. If there’s one complication that Patek is known for more than any other, it’s probably world timers. They just scream ‘old money’ and class – it’s also the perfect complication for a globe-trotting rock star like Ed Sheeran.

Ed’s watch specifically is crafted from platinum, features a hand-guilloched blue dial and is mounted on a blue calfskin strap. Ultra-legible and rather understated, it boasts two city and 24-hour rotating disks, which allow the wearer to keep simultaneous and permanent track of the time in all 24 time zones.

It’s powered by the ultra-thin self-winding Calibre 240 HU, which features an ingenious mechanism where the user can simultaneously correct all the world time displays on the watch in one-hour increments by simply pressing the pusher at 10 o’clock.

Ed’s just unveiled a mammoth North American tour for 2023, which will see play in 20 cities across Canada and the United States from May to September. Presale has already been exhausted, but the general sale starts this Friday.

Even a decade ago, the thought of an electric Rolls-Royce would have seemed positively preposterous… But in what’s a huge sign of the times, the prestigious British marque has just unveiled its first-ever electric vehicle, the Spectre coupé.

Rolls-Royce is billing the stunning new car as the world’s first “Ultra-Luxury Electric Super Coupé” – because of course they have – and while superficially it shares much in common with the petrol-powered Wraith coupé which has been in production since 2013 (although it’s actually based on the same platform as the Phantom sedan and the Cullinan SUV), under the skin, it’s a very different beast.

“This is the start of a bold new chapter for our marque, our extraordinary clients and the luxury industry. For this reason, I believe Spectre is the most perfect product that Rolls-Royce has ever produced,” Rolls-Royce CEO Torsten Müller-Ötvös says.

It’s also been confirmed alongside the Spectre’s release that by 2030, its entire product portfolio will be fully electric. So the real question is this: what does an electric Rolls look like, and how does it stack up to a fossil fuel-powered one?

WATCH the world’s first glimpse at the Rolls-Royce Spectre below.

Aesthetics

At first glance, the Spectre is immediately recognisable as a Rolls – they haven’t thrown the baby out with the bathwater.

Imposing yet elegant, it has plenty of characteristic Rolls-Royce features such as suicide doors and the famous Spirit of Ecstacy hood ornament… Although in the case of the latter, Rolls have actually redesigned her with a lower stance which makes her more aerodynamic as well as much closer to her original design.

The Spectre’s interior is similarly sleek, with a reasonably conventional cockpit that elegantly integrates a single screen across the dash, flowing from the gauge cluster to the centre console, with an analogue clock breaking up the screen towards the passenger seat.

If you option Rolls’ famous Starlight Headliner, you’ll also be blessed with stars on your door panels, too – something we haven’t seen before.

As previously mentioned, the Spectre’s exterior design is rather similar to the Wraith’s, albeit somewhat more angular and we dare say a bit more refined. The sharp daytime running lights up front looks very sleek, but what’s really impressive is the way the car is styled towards the rear, with the largest single body panel ever produced for a Rolls-Royce extending from the A-pillar to the luggage compartment.

There’s remarkably little that gives away that the Spectre is an electric car, except for the lack of a tailpipe. That’s probably the goal; to normalise electrification (as well as not to scare off the older crowd who are Rolls’ customer base, we suspect).

Performance

As the Spectre is yet to enter mainstream production, Rolls hasn’t confirmed final performance figures (of course, Rolls always describe the performance of their cars as “adequate”) but have instead shared that their preliminary data suggest it’ll make 430kW/900Nm, boast 520km of range and will do 0-100km/h in 4.5 seconds. Not bad. For comparison, that’s about as fast as a Ford Mustang GT.

An electric drivetrain arguably suits luxury cars like Rolls-Royces exceptionally well. Rolls’ mission when it comes to drivetrains has always been about smoothness. That’s why they persevere with V12 engines, for example: because they’re much smoother than, say, a V8.

But electric cars are even smoother than even the most velvety ICE, and of course, they make virtually no noise – another boon to Rolls. They’re all about giving their passenger (and driver) the most effortless, least intrusive driving experience possible. In that sense, the Spectre will deliver in spades.

Price

Rolls haven’t given us any indication of pricing, but if the Wraith (which has a starting price of AU$635,000) is anything to go by, you shouldn’t expect much change from a million bucks. It’s a Rolls. It won’t be cheap.

The first deliveries of the Rolls-Royce Spectre will arrive in Q4 2023. Watch this space.

Used car prices have been ridiculously high in Australia for so long, but with 2023 on the horizon and the new car shortage on the way out, that’s set to change, right? Wrong, as it turns out.

The last two years have seen the car market get hotter than a vinyl singlet, thanks to a myriad of factors (most of which can be boiled down to one: COVID-19). Most obviously, the pandemic has made the prospect of public transport far less palatable for many. We’ve also seen road trips, off-roading and the #vanlife spike in popularity…

What’s been even more significant is the disruption to global trade and manufacturing COVID wrought, the impacts of which we’re still dealing with – such as the global computer chip shortage. The long and the short of it is this: used car prices are really high right now, there’s been a shortage of new cars and people are flipping new cars for ridiculous profits at ridiculous rates.

Conventional wisdom would suggest now that the worst of the pandemic is over and things are getting back to normal, prices will start to simmer down, meaning Aussies should consider selling their cars before summer / before 2023. That was our working theory, at least – but it turns out that’s unlikely to be the case.

DMARGE spoke exclusively with Mike Sinclair, Editor-in-Chief at Carsales (Australia’s largest car classifieds so they know what they’re talking about) who suggests that it’ll still be a while until new car stock levels get back to normal in Australia:

“As long as new car stock levels remain to be challenged, there will be pressure on used car prices, and the outlook is still for many brands to be stock-constrained through to the end of 2023 and perhaps beyond.”

Mike Sinclair

It’s a prognosis shared by many car dealers in Western Australia (who are no strangers to dealing with stock shortages), as this report by The West Australian relates.

In short: there’s no need to rush and sell your car whilst prices are still high because it’s likely to remain a seller’s market for a while now. That’s bad news for people looking for a car, though. At least bikes are still cheap.

Other than offering the obvious potential benefit of making huge gains, the gym can act as a complete sanctuary for men everywhere. But one Facebook post reveals the myriad reasons Australian men, in particular, choose to go to the Iron Palace.

The original post, shared in the popular Facebook group Blokes Advice, asks men why they go to the gym. The poster explains that he doesn’t understand why guys would go, since he doesn’t and yet he’s still able to “pull 10s in the Philippines when I go twice a year.” (Not sure if that’s in jest or not.) So for him, he doesn’t believe that bicep curls get the girls. But hundreds of comments have been made on the post, essentially telling him he’s wrong.

The top-rated comment on the post comes from Thomas Webb who lists four clear reasons: “Mental health, physical health, functional strength (being able to lift things, help others, protect yourself etc), improve quality of life and longevity.”

“I think a better question is ‘why wouldn’t you?'”

In fact, a number of other blokes have been quick to highlight the mental health benefits of going to the gym. One comment says, “I go not only for the physical health side of it, but also the mental health side. It’s my time to get away from work and family stressors and focus on me.”

Other comments backing up this thought process include, “It isn’t just about girls. Training is the best therapist I could have ever had. It tests me, pushes me forward and constantly challenges my limitations of myself.”

“Most of my problems I solved by lifting weights and being around other like-minded people. I train for myself, It’s an added bonus you look good while doing it.”

Indeed, the global pandemic saw a huge shift in Australians’ attitudes towards fitness. The most recent statistics on obesity in Australia were recorded in 2017-18, when it was found that 36% of Australians aged 18 and over were overweight and 31% were obese. It could be fair to assume those figures have changed in the four years since but it’s likely that, as a nation, the majority of Australians could still stand to lose a few kilos.

When the pandemic hit, one of the only things Australians could do with their time was either get outside for a brief bit of exercise or engage in 1-on-1 personal training sessions. DMARGE has previously spoken with John Field, founder of Agoga Gym in Bondi, Sydney, who says that not only has the number of personal training sessions held at his gym increased, but he said a major component of those sessions for his customers was for “the mental engagement.”

“You’ve got somewhere to go that’s not your backyard or balcony or loungeroom. You actually get the opportunity to walk to a destination to speak to someone else. So it’s as important for their mental resilience as it is their physical outcome and I really feel like that’s become a main part to this.”

“It’s a chance to talk, chat about how they are feeling, mental space, that sort of stuff in a way that I don’t necessarily get to do maybe otherwise.”

John Field

And, as for how Australians view fitness and the gym in a post-COVID world, well, Justin Ashley, co-founder of Fitness Playground is championing gyms as being just as useful for mental health as they are for physical.

As he’s previously told DMARGE, “Exercise is the best cure or enhancement for any mental health issues outside of pharmaceuticals. We’ve got major issues in that area and exercise is a solution to most of these things.”

He added that he’s noticed the reasons for people joining a gym have changed dramatically too, and they fall in line with the comments provided on the Facebook post used as the source for this article.

Justin admitted that 20 or so years ago, most people would join a gym to either lose weight or build muscle, but today, “for the first time ever, more members said they wanted to feel better than look better in my time in the industry.”

This idea about not going to the gym to build muscle, but to improve your overall wellbeing is highlighted in another comment on the Blokes Advice Facebook post, from Harrison McClure. He said, “Honestly, if you’re going to the gym to try and pull birds, you’re going for all the wrong reasons.”

If we didn’t already have Justin’s comments providing an insight into the changing landscape of Australian gyms, we would have, perhaps naively, felt that most guys would go to make themselves more physically attractive, despite damning evidence from Jo Lindner that girls don’t give a damn about six-packs.

Dean Jamieson, founder of Lean Performance, a class-based, community-minded gym in Taren Point, Sydney, echoed these comments. I’ve personally previously been a member of Lean Performance and found it to be the perfect place to not only kickstart a proper fitness journey but a place where you can feel safe whilst doing so. No ‘gym bros’, no egos, just people wanting to better themselves.

We asked Dean not only how he approaches running a community-minded gym like Lean Performance, but how he approaches the gym and fitness himself.

“The gym is a place where I continually strive for physical improvement,” he tells us about his personal training.

“When we grow physically [and] when we improve strength and conditioning, I believe that makes other areas of our lives easier, it helps builds resilience and many life lessons have been learned through improving physical fitness.”

Dean Jamieson

As for how he sees Lean Performance as offering a valuable service to Australians wanting to get in shape, Dean says, “The goal at Lean Performance Gym is to train for life… The approach is to train in a way that you’re ready for anything that life throws at you.”

“If you need to be strong – you’re ready. If you need to be fit – you’re ready. If you need to be lean – you’re ready. Physically ready to go anywhere you want!”

On top of this, from my experience attending, I noticed the same people turning up to the same class times on a regular basis. Some of them would be friends that either already knew each other, or met each other at the gym. They’d often turn up together, or leave together to go and grab a coffee or breakfast.

It was this environment that made me realise just how valuable a gym can be, not just for getting fitter and stronger, of course, but how it can be a place you genuinely look forward to going to…despite the 5 am wake-up time!

It’s becoming clearer than Australian men are going for more holistic reasons. All we need to encourage them to do now is speak more openly with their friends.

The post “Why Wouldn’t You?” Australian Men Reveal The Real Reasons They Go To The Gym appeared first on DMARGE Australia.

Nick Kyrgios, one of Australia’s greatest sports stars, is known just as much for his talent as he is for his hot and fiery temperature on the tennis court, which sees him regularly smash his tennis racquets. But while many of may just think he’s throwing his toys out the pram, the man himself has recently opened up to reveal where that anger comes from.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, Nick Kyrgios asked his followers to ask him anything. The questions came flooding in and Nick shared some of them, along with his answers, on his feed and they revealed a much more honest and vulnerable Kyrgios than you might expect.

The first question, and the one that formed the thesis of this article, asks, “why do you get angry sometimes when under pressure?” It’s certainly a question that, to some extent, needed to be asked. Not least because we as spectators want to know, but because it gives Nick a chance to explain his actions because on the face of it, he just smashes his racquet when things don’t go his way.

In his response, Nick said, “Because my whole life I’ve been ice cold under it, so I expect better from myself. Also because there is millions of dollars at stake. Do you know what that feels like?”

Nick, unfortunately, doesn’t make it immediately clear at what point things changed for him to the point where he wasn’t as “ice cold” when under pressure. We can only assume it’s when he either turned pro in 2013, or when things really started taking off for him in recent years, such as reaching his first Wimbledon final or winning his first Australian Open doubles title, both in 2022.

We can understand Nick would expect a certain level of quality, as he knows what he’s truly capable of and he has the results to back up his confidence. And, let’s be honest, none of us really like to underperform, especially when we know what we’re capable of. So when Nick, in his opinion, fails whilst being watched by millions of people, it’s only human to let the pressure get the better of him.

On top of that, someone else asked him what his worst habit was. He said, “Winning, it’s addictive. And sometimes unhealthy. It makes you obsessed.”

RELATED: Forget Wimbledon: This Was The Biggest Win Of Nick Kyrgios’ Career

Obviously, when things go good for you, you want that to continue, especially when those winning results can bring you “millions of dollars,” as Nick puts it. But as he admits, that same winning mentality has the ability to completely take over your life to the point where it can be hugely detrimental. At the same time, however, Nick’s awareness of his can also be seen as one of his greatest strengths.

He has hinted, on several occasions, of his plans to retire should he ever win a Grand Slam tournament. He said upon getting into the Wimbledon 2022 final, “I’ve been told my whole life that winning Wimbledon is the ultimate achievement.”

“If I had won that I would have come back for other tournaments like 250s [the lowest tier of ATP tournaments], I would have really fought. I’ve kind of reached the pinnacle of what you can achieve in tennis.”

Nick Kyrgios

Nick’s battle with depression

Other questions he was asked by fans include, “Are you still battling with depression?”

As CNN reported back in May 2022, the Australian tennis star opened up on his mental health battles, along with his tumultuous relationship with drugs and alcohol. “It was very serious, to the point of self-harm and it’s not okay,” he said.

“I guess I pushed everyone that cared about me away and I wasn’t communicating, and I just shut down real life and I was trying to handle and tackle my problems head-on.”

Nick Kyrgios

But, he added that the isolation afforded to him by the global pandemic gave him the space to work through his problems, adding, “I was abusing alcohol a lot, drugs and that spiralled out of control. Now, I barely drink, I literally have a glass of wine at dinner.”

“That was the initial kind of thing I had to clean up a little bit and then build my relationship back with my family and get into healthier habits like the basics; like diet, getting good sleep, trying to train a little bit more and that was it.”

But, in response to being asked the question about his battle with depression, Nick said “everyday.”

He also, we speculate, deliberately answered the question with a picture of himself wearing a t-shirt featuring an image of the late basketball legend, Kobe Bryant. Kyrgios has always been extremely vocal about his love of basketball and how he admired Bryant in particular. He even has a tattoo of the former L.A. Lakers legend on his body, alongside a portrait of Michael Jordan.

So, when Kobe Bryant passed away in a helicopter crash in 2020, it unsurprisingly dealt a heavy blow to Kyrgios.

Thoughts on tennis

More evidence to suggest where Nick’s fiery temperature stems from came when he was asked to “describe tennis in 3 words.” We certainly wouldn’t have expected Nick to offer up the response he did. “Lonely. Repetitive. Unique.”

Repetitive and unique we can understand. Tennis matches, naturally, are all structured the same way and it’s the pinnacle of racquet sports. But the loneliness aspect of the game Nick feels was surprising, to us at least. He has a coach, a manager, the support of his family and not to mention, a legion of fans… So the fact he still feels alone, it starts to become clearer why he would have the outbursts he does when things don’t according to his plan.

Not only have Nick’s posts helped provide some insight into why he gets so emotionally charged when on the tennis court, but at the same time, they reveal he is much more human and more vulnerable than many of us perhaps expected.

I’ve had someone fall asleep with their head on my shoulder. I’ve had someone recline their seat into my face (while I was eating). I’ve also had people kick their stinking feet up next to my elbow. But in all my life, I’ve never had someone squirt their dessert over their head and into my face. Until now…

I like to think of myself as a veteran flyer. An unruffled rapscallion. A globe-savvy hombre who eats flight delays for breakfast and positively enjoys racing for a connection. But nothing could have prepared me for the horrors of a recent flight to America.

The trip started typically enough. I spent $12 on soda and chips, walked onto the aircraft, and enjoyed an aisle seat down the very back of the plane (I was flying from Sydney to Portland, via Honolulu). I then listened to a couple of podcasts, watched Top Gun: Maverick, had a quick nap and – boom – I was there.

RELATED: One Kind Of Business Class That’s Almost Never Worth It

Things quickly went pear-shaped in Honolulu. Not only did I almost miss my connecting flight to Portland (after spending an hour in TSA and getting sarcastically told to take my shoes off by a security guard) but when I got onto the flight, I realised I had forgotten to download any podcasts or music for this leg of the journey.

Worse: on this Honolulu to Portland leg of the journey, seconds after the woman in front of me was served some kind of juice or jelly, she let it rip. And when I say rip, I don’t mean like the gentle popping of a champagne cork by a sommelier. No: I mean she let it rip like Krakatoa.

WATCH: Passenger films aftermath of unfortunate ‘aeroplane jelly’ incident

The thing (I still don’t know exactly what it was) exploded over her head, up onto the ceiling, over her seatback, into my face and onto the arms of my jumper. The situation could easily have been assuaged by a quick turn of the head, a laughing apology or even a sheepish ‘mea culpa’ hand gesture. But no, she chose violence, deciding not to acknowledge the incident, and leaving me covered in some weird kind of goo, being looked at in bewilderment by my fellow seatmates.

I wiped it off my cheeks and lips, hoped she didn’t have any kind of contagious disease and decided to let sleeping jelly sticks lie. Though I was utterly bemused by the incident, I suppose worse things have happened on planes. In fact, due to poor passenger behaviour (of a worse kind than getting impatient with your lunch) the FFA have actually taken to doing things like (temporarily) increasing the fines passengers can face, in recent years, with flight attendants declaring they are sick of “playing babysitter for adults.”

RELATED: Flying First Class Is More Stressful Than Flying Business Class

During the peak of passenger unrest, in fact, the FAA announced it would be giving itself the power to fine passengers a maximum of $35,000 for unruly behaviour. Now I’m not suggesting my jelly-slinging friend should have been stung with this kind of fine for baptising me on my latest flight. But an apology would have been nice…

Having said that, I can’t criticise her too badly; only two months ago I wrote about the guilty and unacknowledged pleasure of acting like a trash human on a cattle class flight (“it gives you a rare opportunity to be your absolute worst self, while feeling sorry for yourself the whole time”).

RELATED: Flight Attendant’s ‘Mile High Club’ Advice Divides The Internet

Judging by that metric, I should actually be revelling in my latest experience (although I maintain, my squeeze-happy friend took my philosophy one seat row too far…). Just another day at the back of the plane, I guess…

If you thought the Creed franchise had been knocked out, you are very much mistaken.

Releasing the first promotional image for the film on Instagram, Michael B. Jordan will once again strap on the boxing gloves and reprise his role as Adonis Creed for Creed 3. However, this time round he is not only starring in it, but he’s directing it too.

Creed 3 will mark the first time that Rocky franchise staple Sylvester Stallone will not feature in the film. But do not worry fight fans, there are a few surprise appearances in the upcoming film that could very well make this film a championship contender.

So, here’s everything you need to know about Creed 3.

Creed 3 Release Date Australia

The third entry in the Creed franchise was originally going to be released in on 23 November 2022.

However, the date was postponed, and the film is now expected to be released in Australia on 3 March 2023 in theatres.

Trailer

The official Creed III trailer dropped on Wednesday 19th October. It shows Jonathan Majors’ character, Damien, finding Adonis Creed having just been released from jail, where he appears to have served time for a crime both he and Adonis were involved in.

WATCH: Official Creed III Trailer

Seemingly out for revenge, claiming he was “locked up in a cell, watching somebody else live your life,” Damien wants a shot at fame and to prove he his the best boxer around. Creed III certainly looks like a much darker, grittier movie than the previous two instalments, but one that certainly looks like it will be an entertaining watch.

Cast and Crew

Michael B. Jordan is not the only cast member returning to the franchise. Tessa Thompson will reprise her role as Bianca and Phylicia Rashad as Mary Anne.

Jonathon Majors is set to make his debut in the franchise as the antagonist of the film, Damien Anderson.

One glaring omission from the Creed III cast is Sylvester Stallone, who announced that he will not be reprising his role of Rocky for the ninth film instalment in the franchise. It was reportedly his own decision to “bow out” of the film as he “didn’t know if there was any part for me”.

Stallone has been critical of Creed producer Irwin Winkler as of late. In a now-deleted Instagram post, the Hollywood star called Irwin, “the remarkably untalented and parasitical producer of Rocky and Creed.”

Stallone has previously complained about having no equity in the Rocky franchise, despite the characters being his creation. Perhaps this has something to do with his non-appearance in the upcoming film?

However, one surprise that boxing fans will love to see is the addition of multiple world champion boxer Canelo Alvarez, who has reportedly been cast in an undisclosed role.

Both Sylvester Stallone and Michael B. Jordan expressed interest in heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder being involved in the franchise, playing the son of Mr T.’s famous character Clubber Lang.

Although the heavyweight star will not feature in the film, Canelo is hardly a bad replacement!

The Plot

There is been very little released regarding the film’s upcoming plot.

Comparing promotional posters of Michael B. Jordan and Jonathon Majors, the sentence “you can’t run… from your past” is spelled out across them both. This is highly suggestive that Adonis Creed and Damien Anderson previously knew one another from their youth.

The film is also expected to focus on Adonis becoming a better father.

The A-League is Australia’s premier soccer league for men in Australia and New Zealand. Think of it as Australia’s version of the English Premier League, just (unfortunately) with less money.

If you’re into soccer then you’ll be pleased to know the 2022/2023 season is well underway, and with more games than ever on free-to-view television this season, and given there are multiple ways that supporters of the 12 A-League teams can watch their favourite club throughout the regular season, it’s an exciting time to be an Australian soccer fan.

The regular A-League season kicked-off on 7 October and will run until 30 April 2023. This year, there will be a mid-season break for the FIFA World Cup from 18 November to 8 December 2022, where – hopefully – the Socceroos return home with the trophy.

Can Western United taste victory again after winning their historic first championship, despite their rough start? Or will Melbourne City manage to get their revenge this year?

The 2022/23 season is shaping up to be a good one; emerging local talents such as Garang Kuol are coming into their own and former English Premier League players Nani and Daniel Arzani are carrying the mantle for their teams.

Read on as DMARGE gives you the full breakdown in how to watch the A-League this year.

Do I need a paid subscription to watch the 2022/23 A-League?

• All games on Paramount Plus
• $8.99/month or $89.99/year

All games of the 2022/2023 men’s A-League are available to watch live and on demand on streaming service Paramount Plus (stylised as Paramount+).

To subscribe to Paramount Plus, you will need to pay $8.99 a month, or $89.99 annually for a discounted rate.

But, with your subscription, you do get access to an additional selection of football and soccer tournaments from around the world. As well as both men’s and women’s A-League Games, a Paramount+ subscription grants you access to the FA Cup in England, the AFC Champions League and Socceroos and Matildas matches.

However, the FIFA World Cup is being broadcast exclusively on SBS, so unfortunately, all Socceroos games during that tournament are not available.

Another benefit of paying for the service is access to other Paramount Pictures content, such as films like Top Gun. Recently, the platform also released a Sydney FC documentary looking back on last season’s men’s squad.

If you’ve yet to subscribe to Paramount Plus, you can get a 7-day free trial, here.

Can I watch the 2022/23 A-League without a paid subscription?

The short answer is yes. 2 matches from each round will be broadcast for free on 10 BOLD. This is double the number of games that were broadcast on free-to-air last year.

The games will be shown every week on Saturdays at 7:45pm AEDT and at 3pm AEDT on Sundays.

Also, unlike last season, the games will be free of ad-breaks, being replaced by in-picture advertising. Now soccer fans do not need to worry about any action bring missed.

The games will also be available to watch on 10 Play, Network 10’s streaming service.
