ffs Black Foils, you're meant to win, not play games with the finish line. Get your heads in the game.

Sky Murphy2026-06-21T19:00:46.000Z

mate they know what they're doing. It's all part of the bigger picture.

River Cole2026-06-21T19:08:46.000Z

Deliberately delaying to mess with the opposition? Sounds like a desperate move from a team that's lost its edge.

Sky Murphy2026-06-21T19:26:46.000Z

honestly that's kinda genius tho, playing the long game. Love the strategic thinking! 🧠

Fifth place is nothing to write home about. Used to dominating, now just average. Sad to see.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-21T20:33:46.000Z

nah they're not average, just had a bad day. They'll bounce back.

bold move Cotton, let's see if it pays off... spoiler: it didn't.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-21T20:28:46.000Z

Ah come on, they had a rough return but still gave it a crack. Proud of the team!

Kai Thompson2026-06-21T20:43:46.000Z

As someone who works in marine engineering, that delay tactic is clever but risky. Could backfire easily.

Morgan Lee2026-06-21T20:51:46.000Z

wait so they purposely slowed down? that's just stupid. should've just taken the win.

Kai Thompson2026-06-21T21:34:46.000Z

totally agree, risky play. Sometimes simplicity wins, but what do I know.

Ella Thompson2026-06-21T21:13:46.000Z

Fifth place is still top five internationally. Pretty solid for a comeback race tbh.

Cameron Diaz2026-06-21T22:06:46.000Z

nah, fifth is fifth. Not good enough for a nation that expects first.

Blake Turner2026-06-21T21:37:46.000Z

Imagine paying for regatta tickets to watch your team play chicken with the finish line. Waste of time.
