I write ads and fun stuff, follow Collingwood and play 🏏 for the Abbotsford Anglers. Have read all of Ulysses twice. To live's to fly.

Get this. Yes. That's me. I'm writing a Grand Final diary in The Age this week.

Probably due for an apology for any insinuation that he was “careless”.

@FOXFOOTY Billy Frampton’s ban has been thrown out. He’s free to play.

Couldn’t begin to tell you what sort of a day I’ve had…

Just heard James Hird on the radio use the phrase “the best man for the job” a couple of times.

It’s 2026 and appalling that it’s assumed that it’s only a MAN who will be considered for a particular, high profile footy job.

Idea, hear me out.... Zach Merrett captain coach.

[AFL @AFL]

"We're not going to get pushed around as a club anymore."

Essendon president Andrew Welsh on the decision to keep Zach Merrett.

Essendon should get Matthew Lloyd to coach them but he might need to take a pay cut from his current coaching job at Haileybury.

Sadly, I suspect this isn't a joke.

@daveking Reminds me of the Holden Piazza

You’d think the AFL and the collingwood football club would let people know that Scott Pendlebury is breaking some sort of record today.

At the a leagues women’s GF and I just caught a shirt thrown into the crowd. In 5 decades of live sport it’s the second time I’ve caught something in the crowd.

First time was COVID in 2020.

Spot on.

I enjoyed Devil Wears Prada 2.
It brought to life the feeling I have in advertising.
For a long time the industry felt big, sophisticated, proper.
It was artistry, it was craft, feelings, reputation, about delightful waste, dedication, it all mattered.
Then along came the tech people, the people we laughed at at school. They didn’t get it.

They dumbed it all down, stripped out the magic , the context, they thought it was about optimization, about numbers, efficiency, logic.
And then the industry got bigger but felt small, it was dying.
One the one hand it’s easy to be selfish and to moan, and to say the magic went, but maybe we were self indulgent, maybe what we found “fun” and charismatic was unpleasant or tribal, maybe we were deeply out of touch, myopic, pretentious.

But also, surely it didn’t need to turn into this level of thoughtlessness, automation, ugliness.

Surely it’s ok to miss the passion, the craft, and the care.

Like many industries, movies, news, music, we're in denial of how irrelevant we now are.

@tomfgoodwin Conspiracy theory sure, but it feels right.

[Ꮆ㇄ə𝓝𝓝 尸ə七ə尺丂 @nightwatchman]

@tomfgoodwin Realised it probably doesn’t matter how much money each seller makes on the day cos the big deal happened when the US company that owns the stadium catering bought the tech off the tech company to make it happen. And that it’s all part of a huge plan to own the tech worldwide.

[Ꮆ㇄ə𝓝𝓝 尸ə七ə尺丂 @nightwatchman]

@tomfgoodwin It's quite funny about senior people and text. I have a few friends who are quite high up in big companies who you'd struggle to get five minutes with them at their workplaces. But on SMS, talking about fun things, I can get replies all day within minutes.

[Ꮆ㇄ə𝓝𝓝 尸ə七ə尺丂 @nightwatchman]

Relatable.

The ball hitting Darcy Moore in the face with seconds to go...

The magpies didn’t win.
The hawks didn’t win.
The falcons won.

OpenAI knew something was up with a bloke who went on to one of the worst mass shootings in Canada's history. Sam Altman's apologies not bringing back lives.

A bird just shat on my phone but it's okay because I hit block and report and it won't ever happen again.
