@rohan_connolly Sneering Wheatley has a ring to it.

No self-interest in these comments, is there, guys?🙄Really hate the sneering way so many AFL media types talk about supporters, you know the ones who actually pay to go to games without the comforts of the commentary box. 82% want a day GF, THERE's your key stakeholders.

@NoticerNews Says the bloke that literally killed someone.

AFL great Gary Ablett Sr has slammed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for his mass immigration agenda. "Destabilising and destroying this country from within"

@EdPascoe_Draft We over handball, so that’s not really showing what you think? It demonstrates that when we do kick it usually goes to oppo.

And you wonder why other teams are able to get so many uncontested marks in comparison to Essendon.

@danbrettig Great read! Out of interest, why haven’t the test match dates and venues over summer 26/27 been released yet?!

Australian cricket will consider raising millions of dollars from wagering product fees to get closer to the levels of gambling revenue scooped up by the NRL and AFL, amid debate on whether to sell BBL clubs. theage.com.au/sport/cricket/…

@tommorris32 Because the AFL have killed the golden goose. Games are so so long and so so boring for most of it. A level2 ticket cost $150 for an adult tonight….

9k fewer than this night last year. Why?

@the_det_times Scoreboard.

HOW IS THIS A TOUCHDOWN???

@bbctms Moron.

Should England have been braver in their batting? Ben Stokes says the batters who had success in the Perth Test were those who took the game on.

@piersmorgan @benstokes38 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

One of @benstokes38 many qualities that I really admire is how he tackles winning big and losing big with the same level head. If anyone can dig us out of the massive hole we’re now in with the Ashes, it’s him.

@tommorris32 Stick to what you’re good….ah.

Crunched these numbers on Travis Head, and it confirms what we thought... He's far more likely to make runs if he's protected by the top order, which he often hasn't been across the last 2.5 years. - In his last 42 Test innings batting in the middle order (dating back to the WTFC Final in 2023), he's made 4x centuries & 6x 50s. - Each of these four tons have been made after coming in after the 22nd over. - Just one of his six 50s have been made coming in before the 15th over. - When he comes in after the 22nd over he averages 43, when he bats before the 22nd over his average drops to 28. - It makes perfect sense why he bats at 5. But If he's not protected adequately, he's extremely vulnerable. @SEN_Cricket @1116sen #Ashes

@MichaelVaughan Sit down, shut up.

Highest score of the match in the last innings to win the game … Test history tells you England win this game … #Ashes #Perth

@piersmorgan Good night piggy.

BREAKING: Australia beat England in just two bloody days. Disastrous start to the Ashes. I’m going back to bed.

@piersmorgan @benstokes38 Quiet, piggy.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? What a man, what a leader, what a cricketing gladiator. The Aussie media mocked @benstokes38 when he arrived for the Ashes, and he just shoved all their jibes right back down their prematurely smug little throats. Brilliant. 🤩

@TheBarmyArmy 33 overs. Shambolic.

England all out for 172 runs. Work to do with the ball 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 #Ashes

@TheBarmyArmy Amateur hour. C grade cricket.

@benlee1979 If we got Robey and Sharp it would be the best draft we ever had!

Part of me would want the 2 “Essendon boys” Robey & Sharp. But I think it would be great if we got some other areas of the ground covered with 3 top picks, not using 2 picks on big inside mids. I’d love a Robey/Sharp + Taylor + Doveston type outcome

@Jasperc53 Dud root?

Caught up with Harley Reid, Oscar Allen and Zach Merrett, and landed none of them 😐

@Sammy__Edmund Good for them.

Hawthorn is about to take another swing at Merrett. The new offer is poised to be 10, 22 and a F1. Hawks about to get 22 from the Blues in a separate deal that involves them sliding back from 9 to 10. Hawthorn view this as a triple first round package that a rebuilding club like Essendon would like. @traderadio @1116sen sen.com.au/news/2025/10/1…

@lithgowflashman Thanks flash for your expert take as always.

Essendon have been known for decades under the Adrian DoDoro regime as they hardest club to deal with. Surley they take this decent deal with Hawthorn today ? Under no circumstances do you want Merrett back now and at this stage of his career ? What nonsense. #afl

@RalphyHeraldSun 80 mins. Better length and sport to watch for people who don’t care.

The perfect storm for an incredible ratings results. An epic game going down to the wire, a night contest, teams from Victoria and Brisbane with NSW watching on. But this amazing figure will only increase the pressure as Seven continues lobbying for a twilight GF next year

@Sammy__Edmund @wominator91 That’s a nonsensical comment. It was an arbitrary condition to ensure the thing never went ahead. The fact it got this far is on Rockliff.

@wominator91 Multi purpose

The AFL this morning, after the Tasmania Planning Commission's hammer blow report for the Mac Point Stadium: "A clear component of the licence bid from the Tasmanian taskforce was a new roofed stadium ... with a capacity of at least 23,000. The AFL's continued position is that this is a condition for the grant of the 19th licence."
