Meet @GWVRebels footballer Rhys Unwin - the talented small forward who could add to Cobden’s impressive #AFLDraft history. Oh, and @freodockers fans, he models his game on Michael Walters! 🙌 https://t.co/H434vNOK1G

Josh Corbett. One of the best. He’s celebrating his short-lived @AFL career the only way he knows how - upbeat, optimistic and grateful. @WboolStandard @freodockers https://t.co/MJZPQA0E8U

Harley Cobb, who has crossed from the powerful Geelong league, travels from the Colac farm where he works to play football for Hampden club @NW_Eagles. @WboolStandard https://t.co/7DRPcPzDep

Star professional cyclist Grace Brown was “glad to be involved” in her first Warrnambool Women’s Classic despite a “frustrating” race as an individual rider. The Camperdown export finished 16th. @WboolStandard

A great effort by teenager Lucie Stewart to take out the Warrnambool Women’s Cycling Classic today. The 19-year-old had only been back riding on the road for just over a week after a broken collarbone limited her training during January. @WboolStandard

Jack Aitken won king of the mountains, sprint and first local finisher jerseys in the Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic today. @WboolStandard

[Matt Hughes @Matthughes114]

Awesome to see Mark O’Brien clinch his maiden Melbourne to Warrnambool Cycling Classic today. The likeable 36-year-old, who rode as an individual, had previously finished on the podium in 2010 (second) and 2020 (third). @WboolStandard

Adelaide cyclist Louis Van Der Berg took out today’s Port Campbell to Warrnambool Handicap just in front of friend and fellow South Aussie Luke Orr. Terang teenager Darcy Abbott was not too far behind in third. @WboolStandard
