I've grown to love this photo recently. So much going on. Barrie has soared over Blighty but here's comes Teaser with a classic spoil. Nipper Christie has my all time favourite guernsey - classic laceup with the old shield; Jim Ogilvie displays the reverse. #UpThePeckers #SANFL

@1975sanflseason Great karting action tomorrow behind the Dublin Hotel.

In a shock move late Friday, @NorthAdelaideFC reversed its position to keep the unhappy Stringer brothers at Prospect & cleared both, but to @GlenelgFC instead of @WestAdelaideFC who had been chasing the duo. Wayne & Alan Stringer are both expected to play in the Tiger 2s today.

Real contrast in interviewing styles between the easy going and knowledgeable Erin Phillips and Hutchy-style gotta-get-the-scoop try hard Xander McGuire. #AFLPowerSaints

@markgkenny The softly softly approach from the Australian government, hoping to weather what it was hoping was temporary turbulence, has reached its end-of-life. Richard Marles, in particular, is way out of his depth.

Artemis II & Trump’s declared genocidal intent in Iran, show the best & worst of America. The muted response from US allies will be condemned by history. The time for clear objection is right now - ie before a population is slaughtered. If not this outrage, what would it take?

@lenphil29 Correct weight Randwick.

they've been a kick or two away in three games against top ~7 sides and beaten the one mid range team they've played. They're going fine for 4 games in ffs

@MorrisBrightMBE @Lost_In_Films_ Love it when he bobs up in anything. The Baron, Mr Forbush and the Penguins (with John Hurt), the wonderfully dodgy Crossplot (with Roger Moore) or with fellow royalty in The Pink Panther Strikes Again.

Remembering the late and much admired actor and director Dudley Sutton born this day 1933. A man who spoke his mind about social injustice even if it meant he might lose work. A great master of his craft.

@RodneyMarshall1 Like so many, bobs up in Edgar Wallace Mysteries.

Prolific. Between 1958-60, Le Mesurier appeared in 32 feature films and numerous TV shows, from the comedy I'm All Right Jack to the historical epic Ben-Hur, Danger Man to Hancock's Half Hour.

Remembering John Le Mesurier, BOTD 1912. In his autobiography, A Jobbing Actor, he described the tendency for him to be cast as "a decent chap all at sea in a chaotic world not of his own making." In truth, his stage, TV and 120+ film credits demonstrate his great range.

@cmkusher @kayosports Totally.

I swear whoever designed the new UX for @kayosports is blind and no one ever tested it.

@markgkenny @nytopinion Given up reading these pieces now because it's all beyond any kind of analysis.

A classic must-read column from the inestimable Maureen Dowd. It is hard to comprehend how such unserious people have gained such power. nytimes.com/2026/04/04/opi… via @NYTOpinion

@EVERALDATLARGE When people work together, humanity works. As soon as it becomes about me or my tribe, it falls apart.

No matter whether or not we believe that #Jesus exists & that his resurrection occurred the fact is that #Easter gives every one of us hope for a better world. Success of our hope will depend on how much we personally and happily get involved in a caring and sharing society.

Pretty tasty sangio that’s varietally true in a Penfolds kind of way.

@DeanRosario For now. And where are you buying $2 cauliflowers? 😳

Here’s a “clip” from today’s game. #AFLTigersPower

@funboyone Both teams are poor.

@McAlmanac Not really, i wanted to poke my eyes out for a while

It’s hard to overstate how bad this game is. #AFLTigersPower

Seriously, better footy at Strathmore yesterday. #AFLTigersPower

@CorbinMiddlemas @abcsport Incredibly important point. But free agency is about the player’s agency, not the club’s.

Clarkson on @abcsport: despite all the models overseas of free agencies, I don’t think anyone forecast the fact hardly any free agent was ever going to go to a bottom five or six club. That makes it enormously difficult to rebuild your list.

Clarkson on @abcsport: Kerch had a pretty good first half, but he just let himself slip in some key defensive areas around stoppage… a lot of these younger players have been ball magnets as kids & everything has been played through them… the defensive element of their game hasn’t been their strong point… teaching them the defensive element of the game is an important part of it

@CherylCritchley He’s a raffle in front of goal. Can get the ball though.

🐯Liam Fawcett you ripper! 🙌🏼 🐯Two top goals! 💪🏼💪🏼 #AFLTigersPort #GoTiges

One of the worst games of footy you’re likely to see, but great weather. #AFLTigersPower

@NickBryantNY That realisation was a long time ago.

Genuinely alarming when the Pentagon is led by a sophomoric hot-head who sounds like a character in a Stanley Kubrick movie….

@rohan_connolly Great win. Fair to note that they have beaten three very poor opponents to this point. It gets interesting from now on.

All the headlines will probably be about Carlton, but jeez that is a great win for North Melbourne, fantastic comeback full of heart, and their emerging stars stood up. Rapt for them. #aflroosblues
