Chloe Molloy out for a season is a huge blow, not just for the Swans but for the game in general. She is exactly what the W needs in order to gain support from those questioning the league. Really shitty stuff. :(

“There are so many expectations on me that my immediate response was that I felt like I’d let down a lot of people, my team.” Chloe Molloy speaking for the first time on her ACL injury. She found out this morning. Full story shortly on SuperFooty (AFL) / CODE AFL #AFLW

Chloe Molloy admits her first concern was that she had let her teammates down after suffering an ACL injury in training that will rule her out of the rest of the AFLW season. FULL STORY ▶️ bit.ly/3MDRAMy

This is fundamentally it. If you intentionally mislead, you forfeit the right to be believed going forward.

The return of Rishabh Pant to the Indian Test squad within two years of that horrific road accident is a remarkable story of resilience & willpower. He now gets five Tests to feel his way back in before he heads here in November to resume his love affair with Australia #AusvInd

Some promising news for Australia with Jhye Richardson picking up 3-26 from eight overs in a WACA scratch match. The forgotten man but huge upside still.

Very similar home Test summers from Australia and England. Got out of jail a few times against opposition they were expected to beat comfortably but then ran out of lives in the final match of the season.

Fourth innings hundreds in England by overseas batters in a winning cause: Bradman (Leeds, 1948) Morris (Leeds, 1948) Hunte (Oval, 1963) Greenidge (Lord's, 1984) G. Smith (Edgbaston, 2008) Hope (Leeds, 2017) Nissanka (Oval, 2024)

Costly blow for England’s already outside chances of making the WTC final. Looks highly unlikely now.

Weird summer. Possible clean sweep missed. Largely uncompetitive cricket v Windies. Often overshadowed by the retirement of a legend. Best bit the surprising victory of the tourists in the final Test. Anyway, enough about Australia 2023/24, and now for my review of England 2024

Enjoyed a natter with Southport big man Brayden Crossley. Reckon he's the closest thing the VFL has to a cult figure. Terrific player - and he'll keep the Bulldogs honest in the prelim on Saturday.

While he admits a return to the Tasmanian set-up will be ‘a bit of a process’ for Jarrod Freeman, Tigers captain Jordan Silk is confident they have the depth to cover the spinner’s loss this season should he not return from indefinite leave. MORE: bit.ly/3MFvlG4
