@Annalyst_Sports @GeelongCats Thanks for the lovely message @annalyst_sports, very much appreciated. Am hopeless on Twitter, needed my son to point it out to me. Say hi to your Dad from me and Go Cats! James

@awalbs It would have been a brave AFP officer to raid Ella's office, Andrew.

Ella Ebery, editor of the North Central News in St Arnaud until the age of 97, has died at 103. She was quite a woman, inspiration for anyone hoping to rage against the dying of the light, and a friend of mine. My obituary for her in the Fairfax papers https://t.co/TxlOcYZSC3

@MaryAnneThomas She was, Mary-Anne. John @jwthwaites reckons she was the only one to tip Labor's win in 1999 -- interesting confession from him.😀

@openlabor Sonja Hood says football has come long way since racism of the 1980s. AFL can take credit but far to go.
