@marvelstadiumau Hello, old friends from my former workplace. I’m just checking as to whether Saturday’s Blues v Saints’ game is a fully ticketed event … I’ve had some mixed messages.

Listening to Art Garfunkel sing Scarborough Fair at 80 years old gave me goosebumps. That golden voice never fades… What a legend! 🫶🫶

#AustralianOpen #9news what a dramatic end to the Osaka/Cirstea match - can’t recall seeing overt ‘frostiness’ in years of following the Open. Match was on #STAN - it should be replayed (now) on free-to-air rather than the meaningless circus on #Kia Arena.

So who wins Normie … Charlie or the Ashcroft quads?

@hasumpstuffedup Fans can see it (ducking), opposition players know what’s going on, then there’s the question of concussion - why isn’t the code stamping it out!

[Bill Lane @BillLane9]

@cleary_mitch For what it’s worth such an offence once meant cancellation of a team’s entire score! On Thursday night, there was no penalty.

@willzfaulk @SACricketTeams @crickettas I was following the scores on Cricinfo … so it seems a young man playing first class cricket doesn’t understand the difference between a draw and an outright defeat. You’ve got to love the Big Bash!

@AFL_House @bhp Went to school in Tassie with Mal. Played footy with him & absolutely thrilled to read about his success. He’s a genuine student and lover of footy & the teams and players couldn’t be in better hands.

@ollycaffrey Doesn’t Chappelli still say that the coach’s primary role is to transfer the players on time from the hotel to the match day venue!! And, of course, Warnie always agreed with Chappell.

@w3ightman The Bulldogs have one of the best in Bevo. Their inequity is that they rarely play at the G - while their window’s ajar, they should complain about that.

@russpike05 @Mattys123 @AFL When and to whom did Barassi decline the use of his name on the Cup … if he or family members adopted such a stance, I’m surprised it wasn’t a major news story!

[Bill Lane @BillLane9]

@lithgowflashman Surely, David “Axe” Foster must come into consideration. Seriously, even before the 200m final, it’s already Arnie (1) Ponting (2) and Darrel Baldock (3) - the state’s greatest import remains Jack Simmons.

Skills.. 💪

@hasumpstuffedup What about the ‘protected zone’ around the mark & player with the ball. The ‘red hot’ rule of a few years ago has gone out the window & clubs are exploiting it. These are reasons fans are exasperated!

[Bill Lane @BillLane9]

@hasumpstuffedup The dissension here indicates it was 50/50 … therefore I believe it was reasonable not to award a free. I’d like to see more discussion about the chicken wing or one arm tackle. It’s a modern day innovation & makes the game more dangerous than it needs to be.

@iamtheoracle I think you’re underestimating the Pakistani attack Andrew

[Bill Lane @BillLane9]

@TraceyLeeHolmes @abcsport @karentighe Two excellent trailblazers, who have stuck at it and continued to ask the hard questions, always putting the story first. All those great names who have come and gone from the ABC. Congrats to you both.

@theprojecttv @StevePriceMedia Facts are Dan Andrews’ Covid-19 policies saved many lives! This action against him is petty and doesn’t reflect well on Victoria.

#IndiaVsAustralia #CWC2023 Massive achievement by captain Cummins, Travis Head & all the Aussies. Surely, it’s one of Aus cricket’s greatest-ever results.. on their knees after 2 early defeats & to silence a home crowd in India of 130,000 in a massive final is indescribable!
