Brendan Allen

This post is A BIG thank you to ALL my family, friends and so many other people who have reached out to me! On the 27th of December 2025 my life was taken out of my hands…when meningitis took over my brain, & unbeknownst to me I was placed into a paralysed coma for 8 days to help me fight this awful disease. And that I did! Fight that is!…. After being given a 50/50 chance of surviving, I came out of the induced coma 8 days later…not able to walk or talk. And yet 4 days after that, with the doctors in disbelief, I walked, I talked and proved to them all why I should be released from hospital to start my recovery. So happy to be home, to be able to put my feet in the sand on the beach and to start thanking all those people that reached out to me and my family in their unwaivering support. This experience has reminded me of how fragile life is, how quickly everything can change & how precious time is! There are so many wonderful people in this world … from paramedics (at Mermaid Waters Ambulance), doctors & nurses (at Gold Coast University Hospital) … to family, friends and people I didn’t even know. I feel like I met all these fantastic people in the past 3 weeks, or they reached out to me through messages of love and support. I am so grateful to you all. Thank you! 🙏 Bring on 2026 …I’m back! 💫

@PollyPorridge Was an amazing debut.

1 wicket at 49*

Guys I can’t even tell you how happy I am for Lucy 🥹🥹🥹 (She’s my little brother’s, best mate’s little sister)

@PaulAmy375 Great man and will serve the stonecats well

After a few years in Eastern assistant roles, VFL premiership player Stevie Dinnell has landed his first senior coaching job. And it's a good one - Frankston YCW.

@PaulAmy375 Appreciate the kind words great man and all the support over the journey

Great coach, Brendan Allen (great fella too). His South Croydon side started the Eastern Premier season at 0-5. But it will play finals after putting away Noble Park today. Former Sandy VFL assistant Allen hasn't missed Eastern finals since landing at Blackburn in 2018. ⭐️

And this is why they got hammered. 3.30pm Sunday and still haven’t cleaned up. Placards everywhere. Everyone else cleaned up last night….

@anataylorcougar Y

Horne Francis still repping the North mouth guard 🤔🤔😳

@_Stacey1987 Sounds like a common symptom of getting old - same plans 😂

Time to go drinking and then be in bed by midnight coz I'm old 🤣🤣

@leaseM_87 A 100 at the mcg is just that no matter what chromosome you rock 🙄 Get the name on that board ✅

The amount of fragile men that are offended that Annabel Sutherland’s name is up on the MCG honour board is insane. ‘There should be different boards for men and women’ WHY? It’s an Australian player scoring a test century at the MCG. I’m so bloody sick of this shit. #Ashes

@jdwant Lisa Lobe

is that alicia keys?

@meme_ki_diwani God you blokes shoot from the hip early.

Bro is suddenly feeling Tim Paine's pain

@RichKettle07 Some of these comments are farcical. Clear deviation in both dismissals. The fact the ump got both wrong is more of a concern.

Sunil Gavaskar on Yashasvi Jaiswal Dismissal 🗣️ "If the evidence of the technology is not to be taken, why have it at all? That is something that would definitely be the query as far as the Indians are concerned." - What's your take on this ? #INDvsAUS

Not all heroes wear capes 😎🙌🏽 #AUSvIND

Reading all the comments defending #ViratKohli has given many laughs on this slow Boxing Day. The bloke is a bully. True character comes out under pressure and he’s under the pump.

@Jasonread21 I actually can’t get over the arrogance of this Indian squad. Hope we win the next 4

@BPAllen17 How’s fucking Shiraz celebration appeal

Harshit Rana tuck your shirt in. At least look like a cricketer

Live Nation destroying Australian Music. Splendour In the Grass died on their watch. #4corners
