Pinned
11 years ago today we lost you and I still remember it vividly.
This is my favourite photo of us together. I just wish there were more.
I miss you, Dad.

- Dustin Martin, who might be the greatest player ever, facing criticism for an incident that was 6 years ago at a private function because someone felt special spreading a video. No wonder he’s sick of living in Melbourne.
- The AFL has stood down one of its own employees for reporting the truth. That employee is a journalist. Just let thank sink in.
- So I can swim with others at a public pool but I can’t play tennis or golf with someone when I go nowhere near them? What’s the science behind that?
- Please. Ronaldo has dominated England, Spain and Italy. Messi played for one team and then took cash to play in a farm league. They’re both extraordinary; but the overhyped Messi adulation is nauseating.
- I am lucky enough to have a stable job. I don’t live by myself I don’t have children to look after I don’t own a business And the thought of another lockdown gives me crippling anxiety. I can’t even begin to imagine how everyone else is feeling.
- The AFL wants to play. The players want to play. We are not in lockdown. People are using public transport. People are going to work. People are going to schools. Let’s play while we still can.
- The AFL has just declared Will Smith's hit on Chris Rock as "careless".
- Footballers being made to wear masks while singing the team song arm in arm is truly farcical.
- I'm so sick of people comparing us to Europe. Australia. Is. An. Island.
- Pulled over this morning by police asking where I was going. Officers were courteous and professional. Thanks for keeping us safe @VictoriaPolice
- Forget about the loss. There’s no way you can look at that performance and say Kyrgios hasn’t moved forward. He will lose very few matches in the future bringing that application and competitiveness. #AustralianOpen
- It’s strange that Port isn’t allowed to wear the prison bar jumper but Collingwood and Essendon are allowed to wear the same jumpers in the same game.
- I’m a sports journalist. If a guy who has been open about his mental health battle - who nearly lost his life in a violent incident - doesn’t want to talk about it, I’m going to respect that. If you disagree with that, Eddie, don’t bother sacking me, I’ll resign."Son, there's the car. Get in it and don't come back." Eddie and Sam McClure have clashed over the Jack Steven story. wwos.nine.com.au/afl/eddie-mcgu…
