The football world has lost its mind because the AFL tribunal found guilty a player who said he didn’t do it. Isn’t that the entire history of the tribunal in one sentence? https://t.co/rkGpkeSLbk

@lukehgomes The Age’s priorities were abundantly in today’s paper Luke.

Another day of Liberal Party shenanigans leaves Moira Deeming as the only candidate for an upper house seat representing Melbourne’s long-neglected west. It’s extraordinary that a party vying to form the next Victorian government can’t do better. https://t.co/VdDqB88bBk

@JonathanHorn23 @jamesrokewarne It’s not a message intended for you (or me). He is telling his players they are special, that they are aspiring to do great things and that the opinions of other people don’t mattered. It’s a “four walls”
cliche drenched in Lyonaise.

All hail the jockocracy!

[Kane Cornes @kanecornes]

What the F would you know about the sport, Chip?

[Chip Le Grand @Melbchief]

@JMasanauskas No marking target in the forward 50. No one to play on Van Rooyen in the back 50. Lack of finishing poise (beyond Nas). Poor ball use decisions by our best players. So some fixable, some not. FWIW, De Koenig was very good for us. Gawn better for them, but Tom’s a ripper.

[Chip Le Grand @Melbchief]

Kane Cornes was the third best footballer in his family and his game analysis is similarly third rate. As a Saints fan, I wish keeping Nas on the bench for a few minutes too long was the worst of our problems.

"It's going to be hard to beat as the dumbest coaching move this year. What are they doing with Nasiah? "

Is Kane right?

@aytchellesse Haven’t yet. It is worth reading. The extraordinary thing about Hanson is how little her views have shifted in 30 years.

Found this gathering dust in the office. Like most things David writes, it has aged well.

@EmoryJohnMich7 @TraceyLeeHolmes Americans do. Wonderful tradition.

[Tracey Holmes @TraceyLeeHolmes]

None of the Iranian players, nor the coach, sang the national anthem ahead of their match at the Women's Asian Cup on the Gold Coast, despite being instructed to do so before they left Iran so as not to embarrass the regime.
They have obviously taken strength from events unfolding in their country.
There was also a group of Iranian supporters at the game flying the pre Islamic Revolutionary flag featuring the golden lion and sun.

Whenever governments run out of money one of the first things they cut is preventative health. It is maddening and ultimately, costly. This piece explains why. https://t.co/y7Kekq5YZa

Yes, they are serious. Apparently, digging a hole in Victoria makes you three times more valuable than someone who teaches our kids or tends to the sick. There will be screaming’: Vic Big Build tunnel workers score record $360k pay deal https://t.co/wQfJDVQC6x

A cartoonist dies twice -- the day he dies and the last day someone laughs at one of his 'toons. Long live John Kudelka.

@ThomasSowell Might start by improving their spelling.

Our CEO, Paul Burke, recently spoke with The Age’s Chip Le Grand following the tragic stabbing in Melbourne’s CBD.

Paul highlighted that this devastating event could have been prevented “This heartbreaking incident is a reminder that early intervention matters.

@JulieSzego @LeiblerMark We hear a lot about the social fabric. This lot are just a stain on the bed sheet. Can’t they just stay home on a Sunday and watch a film?
