The sporting landscape of 2020 has seen a content narrative that could rival any great Hollywood blockbuster. The storylines could not be scripted and as we head into the backend of the sporting calendar year, so much is yet to unfold. Whether it be clubs in quarantine hubs, classic matches, scoreboard blowouts, nailing biting finishes and the re-entry of fans into stadiums, sport has been a place of comfortable and source of excitement for all Australians in a year like no other.
