@FreoPope @ShannonGill13 @WhateleySEN Its title is probably the only error.

@sebth @ShannonGill13 @WhateleySEN The game or the league? The fact they got the title wrong doesn't fill me with hope.

This week’s Know Your History on @WhateleySEN is a Rewatchables special - 30 Years since the AFL commissioned and Dave Barham/Neil Kearney produced doco ‘100 Years of Australian Football’. Watch below and we’ll give it the full treatment on Thursday. youtu.be/18Oni525Tlo?si…

@ShannonGill13 @WhateleySEN John Kennedy’s “do something!” audio was hardly known before. Now it’s eternal. Norm Smith’s sacking is so dramatically captured that its whole emotional spectre came to life again. EJ’s last Dogs game; Barassi at North; “Nothing more Tigerish”; 1989 GF. It elevated them all.

@ShannonGill13 @WhateleySEN This is (by far) the best Australian sports documentary It was so authoritatively detailed and so well researched that it soon became a ‘single source of truth’ for the game’s history. Moments that were big in their time - but somewhat forgotten - became immortal because of it.

What an image. What a moment!

Perhaps the worst moment of Graham Arnold’s coaching career came in 2007 against Iraq. In 2026, perhaps the greatest achievement of his entire career comes as coach of Iraq. Iraq are World Cup bound - for only the 2nd time ever. Congratulations Arnie 🇦🇺 Congratulations Iraq 🇮🇶

Mixed emotions for all Matildas fans today Proud because of how they pushed a champion team, disappointed to get *so* very close. Top marks to Joe Montemurro 👏 Kudos to Japan. Superb. Their passing/control style is such a lesson. Imagine our spirit paired with that. One day.

The value and prestige of representing Australia in any sport is enormous. Tony Popovic is absolutely correct to set a hard baseline on this issue.

@rhettrospective @mjhenderson84 The holy grail really is old Yallourn footage.

@mjhenderson84 No idea. It will be a slow discovery that we will go on together

Throughout the 1970s, 80s, and 90s, an SEC worker travelled all over Melbourne each day along with his Super 8 camera to meticulously document the city's history/events over 30 yrs. All 150+ reels, along with photos/slides have been donated to me. I will digitise and put online.

Fabulous result for @TheMatildas and coach Joe Montemurro. That wasn’t an easy night. So pleased for Sam Kerr to have THAT moment in front of her home crowd. Will have to be better in the final, yes, but it’s not beyond this marvellous group. Go on Tillies. Bring on Saturday.

The Chinese women’s team won the first SEVEN Asian Cups they entered. They didn’t lose once. They’ve won the only Women’s Asian Cup staged in Australia (2006) and are defending WAC champions (2022). Unbeaten in 2026 WAC. Don’t underestimate this test for @TheMatildas tonight.

@aidanfawkes The issue with the old Colac HS site was that it still fell under the remit of Education (not Sport) - with that came an incredibly complex web of simultaneous advocacy and competing interests. But times are changing; the dream of public access to school sites is becoming policy

@sebth Genuinely great to see. I ran around in the Pirron Yallock comp in 2010ish, then was briefly on the committee in 2012 when the club entered in Geelong. Two pitches in town would be transformative. Huge credit to everyone involved for 20-odd years. Unquestionably deserves funding.

Seen this, @sebth? Council docs are here. colacotway.vic.gov.au/Community-Cons…

Started my first radio show way back in 2003 with the legendary trio of Adam Rowe, Michael Ciccone & Tom Browne. We all loved Dennis Cometti; it wasn’t hard to come up with a name for the show: “Centimetre Perfect” We were far from perfect - but that’s what he was. RIP Dennis

Football starts at home. In Vietnam, it also starts on the street. Light fading rapidly on this Friday night in Hanoi. Match intensifying among these kids. Bottles for goalposts. Serious talent. Shoes optional. Hope we see them one day in a @FIFAWorldCup.

@Ajarncom @JakartaCasual @football_siam Looks fantastic - nice shoutout Phil. This is what we’ve been crying out for! Good luck Simon. All cheering for you. Thai football deserves an English language media presence befitting its status. It’s a fantastic league to watch and follow (especially for a neutral!)

For those interested in the Thai Premier League, take a look at the new Football Siam website. Run by premier league guru Simon Causton - it's got the lot! @football_siam 🔗 footballsiam.com

@avineshW90 @giange94 A great footballer who embodies all the great qualities of Harimau Malaya with his spirit, energy and enthusiasm. But I also firmly believe you’re getting someone who will contribute to Malaysian football for the next 40-50 years - not just the next 4 or 5 🇲🇾👏

I do not need to say much. It is always a pleasure chatting with my brother @giange94 ! Click this link - open.substack.com/pub/avineshwar…

On a cold, rainy Tuesday night in Hanoi: my first experience of V.League football. Legendary army club Thể Công-Viettel FC vs back to-back champs Thép Xanh Nam Định. The Công overcame a slow start to win 1-0. Great football and an even better atmosphere - marching bands! 🎷

@aleaguemen @CCMariners Chris was a lovely, kind man. One of the old batch of originals from the NSL era who was there trying to bring publicity to the sport in its darkest days. Proud of his Cornish heritage. Passionate about football. A true believer to the end.

.@CCMariners fans unite in a minutes applause to remember founding member Chris Dunkerley, who passed away last week 💛💙 Chris was one of the founding fathers of the Marinators - Central Coast’s original active support group. Our thoughts go out to his friends and family. Vale, Chris 🕊️

Big Ange on The Overlap…in the same hour that Thomas Frank was sacked. You couldn’t script it. As always, our man gets the final word. Mate.

@avineshW90 @MasFootballHub They fought very hard against a team with immense foreign talent. Earned a lot of respect. Fans were absolutely brilliant, too.

Despite being behind, as a boy from Perak, I am proud of what these young boys are doing. Hunger is there, the willingness to fight and trying their best against a stacked Kuala Lumpur side. Say what you want, I am proud of these lads. Keep building is what we need to do.
