My Dad told me this amazing story last night.

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@BubuSmelsz Orange is brilliant. Nice of the home team to take the lead too.

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@marnievinall Collingwood commemorating the Sir Doug Nicholls Round by throwing a fundraiser for a rich middle-aged white guy got a fair bit of airtime too...

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@MagpiePulse For the first time in my life this weekend I’ll be wanting the Eagles to beat you guys. Normally I’d prefer a draw.

[Lenny Phillips @lenphil29]

what does hodge playing with Mitchell have to do with seeing him angry in the coaches box

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@ClassicAdamPinn @HawkTalkPod It is on SP though. If he wanted to play against the Hawks or the Swans nobody was telling he couldn’t.

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@MagpiePulse Not at all, just someone who loves seeing Collingwood lose and is now highly entertained by Pies fans passionately defending their right to drop winnable games against the Swans and Hawks so that one guy can have a party. “Side by side we stick together” and all that 🤣

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@MagpiePulse And potentially cost them a spot in the finals while doing so. Magnificent!

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@Madness1965 Could insist Collingwood wear their indigenous jersey in the indigenous round for starters. Still plenty of room for his vanity number on the back. Can still wear 12 for his own fundraising efforts, and still sell plenty more. But nah, clearly he’s more important than the SDNR.

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@MagpiePulse Sooking?!? Think we all agree that Scotty’s cute effort is very worthy of his little sparkly number and GoFundMe game. Good on him!

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@BubuSmelsz Much clearer on the AFL app 🤣

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

@Flagmiserable @freodockers All part of the master plan to trade the sloppy mess to the Cats. Clearly in their votes today.

[Chris Binns @binnsie9779]

It’s 2026 and while our ability to fly a metal tube 35,000ft above the earth is impressive, the ongoing inability of @VirginAustralia to provide wifi while doing so is even harder to believe.

"Pretty s*** stat, isn't it?"

Travis Head and our very own Josh Schönafinger had a good laugh about this trend in Trav's game. #Ashes

@abcsport Re: Right-handers or Victorians opening the batting for Australia.

The streets will never forget Will Pucovski.

[Pavilion Opinions @pavilionopinion]

People say England don't learn lessons but eight years ago in Australia Duckett got pissed and poured a drink over James Anderson's head. This Ashes tour he got pissed and, very diligently in my view, tried to get an Uber to the nets. So maybe think about that before criticising.

[Henry Moeran @henrymoeranBBC]

The good news is England are now going to Adelaide, which is:

- The home ground for both Australia's openers
- Also home for Michael Neser who's just taken five-for
- A venue where Nathan Lyon has taken more wickets than any other
- Where Pat Cummins is due to return

Goodo.

[Deep Longstop 🐶 🏏 @deeplongstop]

That’s the stuff

[The Oracle @BigOtrivia]

One of the greatest catches I’ve seen taken by a wicket keeper.
Unbelievable Alex Carey

[Swamp @sirswampthing]

If you remove all balls bowled to Steve Smith, Jofra Archer's career Test bowling ..
.. strike rate goes from 63.37 to 59.26
.. average goes from 32.09 to 29.69
.. wicket tally goes from 54 to 54
