@danielflitton Well, there'll be a Richmond preview, Dan. And if they're good or bad enough to warrant a dedicated article, there'll be one of those too. 😉

My second season preview – the Swans.

[One Percenters @onepercentas]

@FootballCliches @CDEccleshare @D_C_W Apologies if you've already had a reply like this, but I think there's one more license which wasn't covered: the one issued to a keeper to go up for a late corner when their team is chasing the game.

I was on this week's episode of @RadioNational Counterpoint, arguing that Europe must fully embrace nuclear energy.

Want to know why it was controversial enough that someone complained to the ABC about it?
