We spoke to Marcus Herbert’s Warrnambool-based family about his upcoming @AFL debut for @WestCoastEagles. They are chuffed and rightly so. @WboolStandard https://t.co/sTWT42SNHb

@WestCoastEagles have picked up a great person in Marcus Herbert. @WboolStandard spoke to the mid-season draftee shortly after he realised a long-held dream. #AFL https://t.co/I1LmE2ikqn

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

Drafted to delisted: Making the AFL is the dream for many footballers. But what happens when that dream is dashed? We delved into how it feels to be delisted. @WboolStandard #AFLdraft #AFL https://t.co/4ZpX8ceCsx

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

Former AFL star Michael Barlow had a day out for North Warrnambool Eagles in round one of the Hampden league on Saturday. The ex-Docker and Sun had 42 disposals, 13 clearances, seven tackles and a goal in a loss to South Warrnambool. @WboolStandard https://t.co/XORUkkAYRS

Pretty handy inclusion for @NW_Eagles this weekend with former @GeelongCats and @PAFC footballer Steven Motlop to make his Hampden league debut. 👀

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

[Justine McCullagh-Beasy @JustineMB_29]

Wrote this before round two but Anthony McCarthy has been in @WFNCblues' best in his first two Hampden league matches. Recruit's path from remote cattle station to Western District farm. @WboolStandard https://t.co/M8PGDPqVI0

[Justine McCullagh-Beasy @JustineMB_29]

Good to see @kfncweb premiership player Todd White get a @VFL opportunity with @GeelongVFL at 23. @WboolStandard https://t.co/x7iDeV4c8u

[Justine McCullagh-Beasy @JustineMB_29]

.@freodockers forward Josh Corbett spoke to @WboolStandard about his hip replacement and how he plans to make @AFL history. Wishing the @NW_Eagles and @HampdenFNL export all the best. https://t.co/1i3qARNUfv

Great to see Camperdown’s Hamish Sinnott, fresh from a Hampden league best and fairest, earning a spot at @GeelongVFL. @WboolStandard https://t.co/rhSzZsaUcO

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
