Generational striker who scored 30 of 70 goals last season leaves, and Spurs are still scoring at ease.

Long way to go but AngeBall is in full effect 🇦🇺🇦🇺#AussiesInSport

For fans of teams in finals (or not):

If you could add any 3 players from teams out of finals to play for you in September, who would you take?

Bont, Sicily, Dusty for mine.

The only Carlton player to have contested their last final (2013 SF) and still be on the playing list in 2023.

[Carlton FC @CarltonFC]

He’s always worn his heart on his sleeve.
He’s always been one of a kind.
He’s always been just Ed.

He’ll always be Carlton 💙

Ed Curnow has announced that he’ll be retiring at the end of our 2023 season.

The Boomers are through to the 2nd round of the @FIBA World Cup after a 109-89 win over Japan.

Josh Giddey - 26 points, 11 assists
