ANZAC Day means a lot ... Dad passed away 12 years ago at 90 ... he served on HMAS Australia during WWII & witnessed unspeakable horrors ... the ship was hit by more kamikaze than any other ship in the allied fleet ... he never shared a lot of that time ... but he was a hero ❤️

An autumn Saturday morning in Perth
A walk to King’s Park
Nice way to start the day

An outstanding interview by Mark Howard on the latest episode of the ‘Howie Games’ with former Australian Women's Cricket Team 🏏 captain, Meg Lanning

Raw, open and inspirational

Have a listen

When cricket umpires were afforded the opportunity to review run out decisions the practice became rife … sometimes with the batter either in or out by 50+ cm

We’re now seeing the same with #AFL goal umpires

Afraid to back themselves for fear of being shown up if wrong

Is it any wonder that people question the state of the media nowadays …

Petrichor in Perth … delightful

It’s been a while

Jeremy Finlayson suspended for 3 matches

Port Adelaide president, David Koch says the club will “provide education for Jeremy”

It’s hard to believe in 2024 that a 28yo man needs education with respect to homophobic slurs

We still have a way to go it would appear 🙄

Reflecting on the weekend of footy …

Gather round in Adelaide is a winner

Terrific location for it

Can’t see another city being as successful

Just a thought …

How many captains would an AFL team need to have if those calling for a captain’s review get their way?

If your captain is a full-back & the contentious decision is at the other end of the ground 🤔

Or he’s on the bench or in the rooms being assessed 🤔

Interesting stat …

Jack Viney played his 200th game on the weekend

The 28th Melbourne player to reach 200

A foundation club of the competition, the Demons have been around for 127 years

In 37 years, West Coast has also produced 28 players who have played 200-plus games

An important gather round game for Fremantle on Saturday

Wins this season v Brisbane, North Melbourne and Adelaide … three sides all yet to win a game

This week they play Carlton

Both of them at 3-0

A real opportunity to gauge where the Dockers are at in 2024
