- Linea Chaka - from Lesotho - was two laps behind the rest of the 10,000m field. No competitors left on the arena as she finished - except for the three Aussie girls who waited at the finish line. Nice. #GC2018 heraldsun.com.au/sport/commonwe…
- Been thinking a lot about Danielle this morning. Dunno why. As T Fritz donates to LA, as her opponent recycles eBay outfits & struggles to take team on tour, as punters pay through the nose for tickets, as Aust faces cost of living crisis, she’s spruikjng megayacht holidays. Hmm.A provocative post-match interview has cemented Danielle Collins as the new villain of the #AusOpen. DETAILS | bit.ly/3WktlZ0
- For every person that emails or tweets about how, why & with how much passion they dislike AFLW (oh, & usually is the ‘reason’ is a big pointless nothing, so thanks for wasting our time), it’s not for you. It’s for girls just like Abbie. Get ‘em Abbie 💪🏼
00:00 - Just watched the last three episodes of #AfterLife alone in the dark and if anyone needs me I’ll just be over here drowning in tears and hugging my dog OK thanks bye. Unbelievable @rickygervais 👏🏼
- A great journalist. A great supporter. Our great friend. Our Sam. I’ll miss him so much. He really did love “the word factory”, as he called it. And wasn’t he something. So much love to Jake, Annie, the Landsberger family. Words aren’t enough. This just doesn’t seem real 💔

Leading Herald Sun sports journalist Sam Landsberger has died in a tragic accident in Richmond this morning. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. ❤️ TRIBUTES: bit.ly/4dOqpu6 - No matter what you think of him or what he did, the English fans chanting throughout Steve Smith’s man of the match interview were just plain disrespectful. If you can’t recognise that Test performance for the stellar showing that it was, well, that’s on you. #Ashes
- Staggered by the silence from club & league on the week’s events both player & coach. When all we hear about is “respect & responsibility” and “champions of change”, it really has been deafening.Bailey Smith doesn’t have it easy, but this latest outburst isn’t hard to parse — he flew off the handle, and was disrespectful and unbecoming. Both Geelong and the AFL can’t walk past it, writes @LaurenHeraldSun. STORY 👉 bit.ly/46owvPQ
- If you’re part of the “whO cArEs” brigade, chances are you’re someone who has always and will always feel welcome in footy. Which isn’t really a feeling anyway, you don’t even notice it. Encourage you to read - and hear - Mitch’s words.Former West Coast Eagle Mitch Brown’s decision to share his story as a bisexual man has broken a century-long silence in the men’s league, as a wave of support and reflection sweeps the AFL. STORY 👉 bit.ly/4n5y0sJ
- So sick of writing about this kind of shit. Sorry, but there’s no other way to put it. As one industry figure said, “players are just fed up with being abused”. It has to be called out.Richmond AFLW players will wear their Pride jumper again this weekend in a show of support for teammate Kate Dempsey after “abhorrent” online attacks that have been described as “deeply disturbing”. ✍: @LaurenHeraldSun DETAILS: bit.ly/4e6dRy1
- Honestly how this can get waved through is just ... wow.The AFL’s decision not to sanction Willie Rioli for threatening a fellow player flies in the face of precedent set by punishing players for middle-finger salutes, and Mad Mondays – and clubs are fed up, writes @ClarkyHeraldSun.

- Taking “a couple of 400s to start training” to a whole new level at what I think might be Maroochydore today 😳🤣 (📹: archiesummers09 on TikTok)
00:00 - Very touching move by Joel Selwood to express his thoughts for the families of Jacinda Barclay, Jake Ryan & Ron Best. Class. #AFLLionsCats
- Cannot shake the pit in my stomach. My grandfather fought for our country. Young, full of courage entering the complete unknown in foreign air & soil. Not for action like this. Not for people like this. Drinking & lounging on our most sacred of spaces. Sickening.
