The Nate Caddy hype train overshadowing that Logan Morris is the same age and better is a real shame. #AFL

Tigers being as clinical as ever - 3rd GF appearance in 4 years coming up Friday night!

[Brad Cole @BJCole10]

Barnburner of a finish to the NWBU men's prelim final, with Burnie surging past Ulverstone to win 75-71 and book a spot in the GF v Latrobe. Joe Chilcott paced the Tigers with 33pts, Vinnie D'Angelo with 32 for the Hoppers. Here's Brad Simpson putting the Tigers ahead late.

SDP practice looked a little different yesterday for the athletes on the USA Tour, with the group holding practice at the Charlotte Hornets NBA training centre.

The USA tour has 1 week remaining, with the group set to travel to South Carolina and Florida in the coming days 🇺🇸🏀
