After 30 years in WA media and having played the game and now representing a WAFL club, I can honestly say the return of State of Origin feels different.
Origin football was born in Western Australia. And it feels right that its relaunch is here in Perth.
From the WA football community to the State Government, to the media... this has been embraced the way only this state can embrace its footy.
The build-up has been exceptional. The support has been genuine. And the outcome is lasting.
Congratulations to WA Football, the State Government and the AFL for ensuring $1.5 million from the success of Origin at Optus Stadium will go straight back into pathways programs here in WA.
That’s not just a game. That’s legacy.

After Novak’s heartfelt words, I can only wonder if he will be back. If not, Novak, it has been a privilege to watch you play, and to get to know you as a person both in Perth and here. You are an ornament to the sport, and you are the GOAT. Whatever happens, thank you

What we witnessed tonight from Novak Djokovic is so hard to put into words … on this stage, against such an opponent, he drew on every single cell in his body… which the crowd recognised and responded, and they rose with him … this was memorable, as this was greatness

Don’t fix what ain’t broke!
It would be a sad day if Perth Scorchers suddenly became Sunrisers Perth or Perth Super Giants.
Or kept the Scorchers name but changed the iconic orange to fit in with an Indian conglomerate’s preferred colour scheme…

It’s estimated that each BBL club is worth between 150 to 200 million. The Thunder and the Renegades if they are sold – as I expect they eventually will be – are far more likely to be sold 100%. If there was a third team to be sold, I believe of the other franchises, the Perth Scorchers are the most likely team to be sold to a 49% investor” - @tommorris32 with who is likely to be sold in private ownership.

I’ve been asked… how will Pro/Rel work in Oz? Imo first step is a home and away Australian Championship in winter which interconnects by Pro/Rel the existing NPL pyramid. Uniting, inclusive and aspirational to all clubs. My hunch A Liga will be begging to join, not vice versa

The planned demolition of the Jack Dyer Grandstand roof took place this morning.
All relevant historical signage, foundation stones, boards, seating, unique accessories were safely removed prior to today.
The new Jack Dyer Grandstand will rise in mid-2027

So saddened by the tragic and unexpected passing of Andrew Krakouer. Krak was a special talent - but more than that, he was a deeply loved husband, father, son, teammate and friend. My condolences are with the Krakouer family and all who loved him. Rest easy Krak.

Vale Andrew Krakouer.
