@Luke_Elvy Think you missed the mark on that one mate.. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️👍👍

Rory McIlroy is unequivocally the best at talking out of both sides of his mouth. Says “I’m not going to judge people who don’t want to play on the PGAT.” Ends with “if you don’t want to play here, well I think that says something about you.” LOL!!

@MarkDiStef Not so silly now is it.. 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

The South Australian government pouring $45 million of taxpayer money into upgrading a golf course for LIV looks real bloody silly now.

@MarkDiStef It’s a public access course.

@BubuSmelsz Geelong should wear yellow all the time.. 👍👍

Jumper rating of 9.5/10 for #aflpowercats #aflportcats. Black v white provides great contrast. Given both sides have white and black/navy, it can’t be a 10. How bloody good is it to see Port with a solid black back. Would have been horrible tonight if the white back was used.

@parandpaddock @jerichsen66 What I am saying is.. If they need to raise more investment beyond 2026, then LIV needs to be full steam ahead for 2027. Not stopping and then trying to restart. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@tven23 @jerichsen66 They’ve 5 events scheduled tickets on sale for some already. South Africa something crazy like 20k+ tickets sold already, can’t even book a decent place nearby.

A global affairs expert, with an American bent, shares his thoughts on @livgolf_league's past week. Do you agree? 🤔 australiangolfdigest.com.au/thomas-friedma…

@jerichsen66 @parandpaddock IF they need to raise investment beyond 2026, then they need to be business as usual. No one is going to invest in the product if 2027 and beyond isn’t mapped out and planned as best as possible. 🍻🍻

@tven23 @parandpaddock That may be so, but it doesn't actually answer the question. If LIV is falling over, why would LIV be giving the go ahead for the course rebuild?

@parandpaddock North Adelaide is a public access course that is way for overdue for money.. The premier is all for attracting events, this includes Men’s and Women’s Aus Open. Should LIV fall over (🤷‍♂️) , he is wants more golf events to our state.. 👍👍

@GolfDigestAU @livgolf_league Ask yourself this, why have Adelaide just been given assurance by LIV to begin the build on the new course in North Adelaide that will be used by LIV in 2028?

@FOXFOOTY Bush League.

"This is a multi-billion dollar business … and one of the jurors is in the car?!" The #AFL360 panel are baffled after revelations a jury member in Zak Butters' Tribunal case was "in transit" during the hearing.

@PAFC Appeal.

Zak Butters has had his charge upheld by the AFL Tribunal. Port Adelaide stands unequivocally with Butters and will await the formal Tribunal findings Wednesday morning before considering grounds for an appeal. portadelaidefc.com.au/news/1996478/

@AFL @kanecornes 👎👎

"One of the smartest things you'll see on the football field this year." 🧠 @kanecornes on Alex Neal-Bullen's clever play that led to a goal. #AFLCrowsBlues

@hasumpstuffedup @peteguley @philschultz11 @Upthemightypies 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@peteguley @philschultz11 @Upthemightypies This is a really excellent point. People understandably saying, "what can Haynes do there" Don't think of it as just a FK against Haynes, but a FK against Carlton. And the answer to what they can do differently is "don't kick it that close to the boundary line initially"

Hodge correct If you touch the ball to prevent it going out for a lasoo FK, you must make a clear active attempt to keep it in Just taking possession and letting momentum carry you over isn't doing that Hate the rule if you want but Umps instructed to pay this #AFLCrowsBlues

@PAFC Terrible time slot…

The early bird gets the worm 🪱 See you there 👋 bit.ly/4lTbLXM

@AlboMP Or you can cut the fuel excise.. 🙄🙄

We've just introduced laws to crack down on petrol price gouging with huge fines.

@turtlemagic1 @RalphyHeraldSun Spot on @turtlemagic1 🎯🎯

@RalphyHeraldSun It’s a bush league @tven23

The vanishing 30 seconds in the St Kilda Giants game in a weekend of timekeeping confusion. Where did it go? Hall kicks the goal with 33 seconds left, time goes to double zeroes, the half time siren sounds immediately at the next centre bounce 👇heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/30-s…

@kanecornes Spot on Kane..

NAS spending 13 mins of the last quarter resting in the goal square, kicking a goal with 11 mins to go, then coming off for 6.20, will be hard to beat as the dumbest move this season.

@elonmusk Right.

@parandpaddock @Irish_On_Tour @EvinPriest If the 26 AO got moved to Mar 27, can’t see Rory coming to OZ in March Be nice if the schedule went Oz PGA, Oz Open (Co with DP 🌎) & LIV ADL Even better if the winner of OZ PGA got a start in PGA similar to Open pathways.. Create pathways to majors and the players will come.

@Irish_On_Tour @EvinPriest They pad $4m To McIlroy. Aus Open will get moved and will line up with LIV. As of 2025s Aus Open, no co-sanction plan in place yet for DPWT/Golf Australia.

Context is important here. The 2025 Australian Open at Royal Melbourne (112,698) was the highest ever attended golf tournament in Australian history and it DIDN’T have concerts like LIV Adelaide

@parandpaddock @eamonlynch 👌👌 Nice reply..

Lynch, This reads less like a rag column and more like a prosecution brief with jokes stapled on. You dress it up in Gladwell and “outliers” language, then treat subjective disdain as if it’s the data. “Bootlickers”, “apologists”, “social media slurps” isn’t analysis. It’s a tell. You’re not testing a claim, you’re selecting targets and cueing the reader how to feel about them. Your LIV section is built on a double standard that always favours the PGA Tour. Adelaide’s revenue being an outlier is an interesting business point, but you use it only to sneer at LIV fans, not to examine what it actually proves: that elite men’s golf can thrive outside the US when it’s staged properly and priced for the market. Cue LIV Golf South Africa in a few weeks, that could be bigger than Adelaide. Then you reach for a US TV number as a mic-drop without explaining the source, method, platform context, or like-for-like comparison. That’s not “evidence”. That’s a stat as a bludgeon. The Kim section is the giveaway. You concede the hard truths, absence, addiction, rebuild, and then you cannot bring yourself to let the sporting achievement stand without reducing his return to a “desperate marketing stunt”. That’s not something you demonstrate; it’s something you assert because it flatters your priors. The inconvenient fact is that Kim’s place wasn’t protected: he was relegated, then earned his way back, then won. If you’re arguing LIV has no merit pathways, Kim is the counterexample in your own copy. Your sweeping claims need receipts, not rhetoric. “More than 90%… by invitation.” “Contractually protected.” “Ejected based solely on national origin.” Those are allegations mis represented and half truths, with no context and no written rules cited, and no acknowledgement that the PGA Tour is also in parts a closed shop in practice: sponsor exemptions, medical extensions, major-category protections, reshuffles, and a system that has always mixed merit with status, money, and relationships. If you want to prosecute LIV for being curated, you need to apply the same standard to the Tour you’re implicitly defending. In the end, the “outliers” framing is just a narrative trick: Player as your designated villain, Kim as your reluctant hero, LIV as your permanent defendant, and the PGA Tour as the unspoken baseline of virtue. You can dislike LIV, plenty do, but you don’t get to replace reporting with mockery and call it truth. If you want to persuade readers rather than rally your own side, drop the sneers, show all the sources and truths, and argue against the strongest version of the opposing case, not the caricature. Of which you certainly are along with your pal Brandel, the two biggest Spitting Image caricatures in golf.

Anthony Kim, Gary Player are both outliers. Only one of them is a positive. golfweek.usatoday.com/story/sports/g…

@DavidUllrich202 @TKoutsantonisMP @TKoutsantonisMP what impact has the above done for retail prices?

@DavidUllrich202 @TKoutsantonisMP What about retail prices Tommy?

This state’s power prices are plummeting as it nears 100% renewables South Australia is proving to the world that relying largely on wind and solar energy with battery back-up is incredibly cheap, with electricity prices tumbling by 30 percent in a year and sometimes going negative newscientist.com/article/251498… docs.google.com/document/d/1DR…
