'Mate, I think we’ve got one. Big bloke … 203 (cm) or something like that … wanna see him. He’s bloody exciting.’ Justin Plapp picked the 'big bloke' early. And on Saturday Oscar McInerney may become an AFL premiership player. For @codesportsau codesports.com.au/afl/the-big-ba…

I remember seeing the 1971 #AFLGF on 📺 as a kid and asking ‘who is Bob Keddie?’ For @HawthornFC fans, I chatted to Bob for this story and his memories were fascinating. There’s still regret about what he didn’t do that day before he turned the game. codesports.com.au/afl/down-like-…

Former Richmond coach Jeff Gieschen spent years chasing the coaching dream around Australia with his young family, but recently he’s paid it back as right hand man to son Jarrod. The story of a father-son bond and a premiership at Old Ivanhoe. @VAFA_HQ codesports.com.au/afl/local-foot…

Craig McRae made his AFL debut in 1995. It proved a formative season for both him & the Brisbane Bears, who marched to the most unlikely of finals berths from 4-11. “We wouldn’t have won those premierships without that experience." FULL STORY: bit.ly/46oFnDc 🐨

Had a look back at the Bears' remarkable '95 season and the lasting impact it had on Craig McRae. codesports.com.au/afl/built-in-b…

Fingers crossed that Mike Brady delivers what the people want. #AFLGF youtube.com/watch?v=SVU2Gs…

"I’ve had kids ask me outright, ‘How much of this particular steroid should I take?’ and I’m talking about 15 year olds." @codesportsau @JamiePandaram codesports.com.au/code-sports-in…

Ross Lyon has proven the AFL’s most stubborn coach at the selection table this season, using a league-low total of 28 players. @robforsaith looks at how many players each club has used in the first half of this season, and why. codesports.com.au/afl/afl-depth-…

Usman Khawaja moved past Adam Gilchrist, Bill Ponsford, Stan McCabe and Doug Walters on the list of highest Test averages for Australia. Since turning 35 he has seven Test tons scored in four different countries. codesports.com.au/cricket/ashes-… @codesportsau @codecricketau

This is Khawaja's highest Test score in England. #Ashes2023 Age 36 ... and four years since an Ashes tour looked to have ended his international career. It's been a hell of a comeback.

So here’s the great irony of it all. Bazball, the style of play that has revolutionised Test cricket and breathed life into the English game, has become formulaic. Thoughts from day one at Edgbaston. codesports.com.au/cricket/ashes-… @codecricketau @codesportsau #Ashes

One year ago today, Australia beat Peru in a penalty shootout thriller to reach the World Cup. It was a game stacked with unlikely heroes. Here's how it went down, via @adampeacock3. codesports.com.au/football/socce…

Another big story from @LindaCPearce.. @LizzyLegsEllis led the State of the Game Review, most capped 🇦🇺 player in netball history. Broadcast, business smarts. And just a sensible voice to have at any sporting table, as her comments in this piece show: codesports.com.au/netball/part-i…

Devastating loss. Wayne Smith was a lion of journalism and a top fella. A testament to his fun and kindness as a colleague is the effort the young ones in the office put into producing this video for his retirement from The @Australian two years ago. youtube.com/watch?v=z1WdFz…

The late great Wayne Smith was such a terrier that when Kepler Wessels sold his story to a rival paper about returning to SA, Smithy jumped in his car and knocked on Kepler’s door to scoop the scoop before it hit the presses. Here’s Kepler being grilled by our hard nosed scribe.

Time to salute a footballer who has fronted up season after season in the @vfl, breakable neither by sword nor stone. Time to salute Ben Jolley as he prepares for his 300th game (and as he does he names the best 12 VFL players he's seen along the way). codesports.com.au/afl/local-foot…

Great yarn Shannon. Taps into a rich vein of Footy obsession
