@willzfaulk @SACricketTeams @crickettas I was following the scores on Cricinfo … so it seems a young man playing first class cricket doesn’t understand the difference between a draw and an outright defeat. You’ve got to love the Big Bash!

@AFL_House @bhp Went to school in Tassie with Mal. Played footy with him & absolutely thrilled to read about his success. He’s a genuine student and lover of footy & the teams and players couldn’t be in better hands.

@ollycaffrey Doesn’t Chappelli still say that the coach’s primary role is to transfer the players on time from the hotel to the match day venue!! And, of course, Warnie always agreed with Chappell.

@w3ightman The Bulldogs have one of the best in Bevo. Their inequity is that they rarely play at the G - while their window’s ajar, they should complain about that.

@russpike05 @Mattys123 @AFL When and to whom did Barassi decline the use of his name on the Cup … if he or family members adopted such a stance, I’m surprised it wasn’t a major news story!

@lithgowflashman Surely, David “Axe” Foster must come into consideration. Seriously, even before the 200m final, it’s already Arnie (1) Ponting (2) and Darrel Baldock (3) - the state’s greatest import remains Jack Simmons.

@hasumpstuffedup What about the ‘protected zone’ around the mark & player with the ball. The ‘red hot’ rule of a few years ago has gone out the window & clubs are exploiting it. These are reasons fans are exasperated!

@hasumpstuffedup The dissension here indicates it was 50/50 … therefore I believe it was reasonable not to award a free. I’d like to see more discussion about the chicken wing or one arm tackle. It’s a modern day innovation & makes the game more dangerous than it needs to be.

@TraceyLeeHolmes @abcsport @karentighe Two excellent trailblazers, who have stuck at it and continued to ask the hard questions, always putting the story first. All those great names who have come and gone from the ABC. Congrats to you both.

@theprojecttv @StevePriceMedia Facts are Dan Andrews’ Covid-19 policies saved many lives! This action against him is petty and doesn’t reflect well on Victoria.

#IndiaVsAustralia #CWC2023 Massive achievement by captain Cummins, Travis Head & all the Aussies. Surely, it’s one of Aus cricket’s greatest-ever results.. on their knees after 2 early defeats & to silence a home crowd in India of 130,000 in a massive final is indescribable!

My first instinct was that the ball hit Smith outside the line - it was always tight. Extraordinary that he failed to review & what’s Head doing at the other end? #INDvsAUSfinal #CWC2023

@djg_26 @BasilZempilas Don’t think you’d be far off the mark, David, probably ‘unders’ if anything! For modern stadia today, hosting 50 or so televised fixtures, ‘naming rights’ is considered a fundamental revenue stream! Collo got it going at - wait for it: Optus Oval within Princes Park!

Come on broadcasters/journos, show some G&D. The law’s an ass! Both batsmen were clearly caught. In Warner’s case, the ball was taken above van der Merwe’s waist. The catcher held & controlled both catches. It’s become a farce! Warner should be in the pavilion. #CWC23

@CJellett @bunghole42 @BenCadd1 Come on folks! Still idolize CJ with every fibre but egged on by Benny & Bungy, she did deface the 2011 AFL Yearbook 😅! Ok, congrats to the Pies and son-of-a-gun ‘duck’ Daicos #grittedteeth #sweet16

@bunghole42 @BenCadd1 Actually I did send Ben a very courteous ‘congratulatory family note’ on Insta on Sunday. Yes, a very even & exciting finals series - not much btw the teams. Carlton’s last blow out victory was its 17 point win over the Pies in round 20 💪! Can’t wait for round 1 2024!

@7AFL Umpires/AFL yet again changing interpretations. Lethal Leigh, who gave them a whack after the Coll/GWS prelim, has spooked them!
