- Compare the pair: One coach used the sub to perfection, albeit admitting it was a massive gamble and he was either going to look like a "total idiot or a total genius." The other bemoaned the sub rule despite leaving a player with a clearly broken arm out there #sourgrapes
- Understand that Swan Districts WAFLW players met before training last night and expressed disappointment. Some went as far as indicating they would seriously consider not playing if the club signed Thomas. Incredibly brave stand and undoubtedly would’ve contributed to decision.Swan Districts has decided not to recruit Tarryn Thomas following intense backlash with chief executive Jeff Dennis revealing the process has “uncovered many deep concerns.” ✍️ @ByElizaReilly READ ▶️ bit.ly/3ET3cuD
- Revealed: The WA government is exploring the possibility of paying these teams another $1mil to NOT return next year #AFLNorthEagles
- Asked myself why the loss of Jacinda Barclay was hitting hard. Simple answer. She mastered 3 sports, she helped build the AFLW and her personality was infectious. Yet she thought the world would somehow be better off without her. Check in with your mates. It’s okay to not be okay
- With all fairness to Dustin Martin, I too would see Richmond vs St Kilda on a Sunday afternoon at Marvel Stadium in round 22 and think “fuck it.” Thanks for the memories #4
- The standard you walk past is the standard you accept. And Geelong x2 and Carlton in the past week tells me that last year’s minute of silence for gender based violence was nothing more than a box ticking exercise. Be better AFL.Looking forward to getting to Friday night’s game.
- Male commentators in the mainstream media, this is your time to speak out. Why are we letting the minority speak for the majority? Daisy was judged by her peers as the best opinion/analysis commentator in the AFMA awards last year so we know you’re out there.Footy great Dermott Brereton has doubled down on Rex Hunt’s take on Daisy Pearce by saying Wayne Carey is the superior commentator.

- She’s world no.1 but how are Iga Swiatek’s surfing skills?
00:00 - What Reece Conca could be doing right now: Sitting at home, eating junk food, watching TV What he’s actually doing: Training in the pouring rain despite being told he’s not being offered a contract next year. True clubman
- While all the players were celebrating in the changerooms, North CEO Jen Watt spent a good half hour working the boundary, letting every Kangaroos fan who’d stuck around take a photo with the premiership cup. Small gesture, big impact and a long lasting memory. Congrats Kangas 🦘
- The only way to settle this is to organise for Mitchell Starc to bowl an over of 150 km/h peaches at Ronny Lerner while Alyssa Healy commentates. Not too late to delete tweet champ.There have been plenty of unsavoury conflicts of interest in AFL commentary which have rightly been criticised over the years. Alyssa Healy commentating her husband is right up there as one of the worst in any sport #AUSvIND
