New Essendon recruit and Albany-raised key forward Tom Edwards has strengthened his chances of a shock AFL debut in the first week of the season.

Great match between Perth Glory and Newcastle Jets here in Albany.

The Glory got the better of their opponents with a 2-0 win courtesy of an Adam Taggart brace.

But what made the day special was the players interaction with the fans, all 2,022 of them if you don’t mind.

Star Albany jockey Natasha Faithfull will finish with a career-best season in the saddle, having already bettered her previous best winning tally.

104 wins and counting for the hard-working @TashFaithfull22 in 2023-24.

Brilliant news!
Great Southern star Jacob Blight's taken in the @AFL mid-season draft with pick No.2 by @Richmond_FC

As a reporter for more than a decade at the Albany Advertiser, I have unfortunately written far too many stories on road deaths.

Every year, police issue a timely reminder for motorists to take extra care but sadly this plea often goes unheard.

Took this pic today an hour before the big race @TheValley Chose not to post so as not to jinx things

Hopefully it gives a small insight into the relationship between human and horse that led to a stunning result for @HKJC_Racing

PRELIM WIN

Albany are through to a second grand final in as many years, outlasting Royals in a bruising preliminary final encounter.

The Lions came out hard in the fourth quarter but the Sharks responded brilliantly, holding on for a stirring 11.5 (71) to 8.11 (59) victory.

Railways are the first team into the 2023 Great Southern Football League grand final after producing a brilliant start in Saturday’s qualifying final against minor premiers Albany.

ICYMI: Our former Karrakatta Plate winner Ex Sport Man added another strong to his bow @PerthRacing on Saturday, saluting in his first attempt at 2100m. Almost retired this time last year, his comeback campaign has netted two metro wins and over $197,000 in stakes and bonuses.

I can’t cop the argument “no one is banging down the door” to replace Warner. Bancroft did all summer, Harris makes runs for fun in county cricket + more mature + Marsh has opened in 1 day cricket (+ bowls).All are in our future and can’t do worse than Warner who isn’t? #ashes

Congratulations to Tash Faithful on taking out the 2022/23 Great Southern Leading Senior Rider; Tash's hard work has been rewarded with a lots of success!

Brayden Gaerth won the Great Southern Apprentice Of The Year with fantastic results in the saddle.

Little Silver looked suited rising to 1400m third up @PerthRacing today and after crossing to lead from gate six, @SmcGrudds rated him to perfection and the pair recorded a strong win. This fellow's another 3YO with a bright future with the best yet to come. #TeamWolfe

[Cameron Newbold @newbs63]

Both sides kicked three majors in the last and walk away with two points after an enthralling second half.

Dylan Gowdie kicked three for the Bulls while Scott Price & Lee Pavlovich were influential.

The Lions were well served by Brayden & Dave Parker along with Ward #gsfl23
