DARREN WEIR Exclusive:
“The time is too long, but I haven’t decided anything yet."
And from a now 69yo unemployed worker: “Darren’s always looked after us. He’s fair and loyal, and we know he’s learned from his mistakes. He deserves another chance."

How do you offset the pain of the release of a book you co-wrote about Collingwood winning a premiership? It’s hard, but wearing a Doggies shirt & cap helps, albeit in the tiniest of ways. Fine words in here written by @DanEddyBooks35 + Peter Di Sisto. Other words by me. OUT NOW!

Vale Ted Hopkins - waterskier, author, poet, publisher, broadcaster, data analyst … and as a Carlton Premiership player of 1970 football’s most famous benchwarmer.
More to come.

He missed the last 5-6 games at least of the 1983 season to be on that tour & almost certainly cost himself the Magarey Medal. Finished 4 votes behind the winner with two umpires voting each game at that time, so you’d back him to get 4-5 votes in a third of the season to win it.

Congratulations to @DanEddyBooks35 on the launch this morning of his book ‘Brilliance and Brutality’, covering the rivalry of @CarltonFC and @Richmond_FC across the Grand Finals of 1969, 1972 & 1973.
Between 1967-74, the Blues & Tigers won 7 of the 8 VFL Grand Finals of the era.

The Masters? Meh. The Open is golf’s greatest major. Here’s why golfweek.usatoday.com/2023/0… via @golfweek

One of the greatest! Lots of great memories of Mick when I was working at @GeoffSlattery. Loves his model tall ships. What a great servant to footy.

.@andrewprobyn is the hardest working ABC journalist I know and the broadcaster's best and most constant news breaker. And they've sacked him because they suddenly don't need a political editor. What a disgrace from an organisation full of middle-management time servers. @abcnews

Princes Park’s very own Abraham Zapruder films for posterity Ron Barassi’s first appearance as Carlton Captain-Coach at the old ground - the Round 2 match v Geelong, Saturday, April 24, 1965.
Are you the man behind the lens, or do you know him? This footage deserves to be seen.

On the day @richmond_fc honour Laurie Fowler & the '73 team seems appropriate to reveal the cover of my new book Brilliance & Brutality: Carlton, Richmond & the '72-73 Grand Finals. Footy's fiercest rivalry of the '60s & '70s told from both sides for the first time. Details soon!

Thousands of Victorians have enormous costs hanging over their heads after being stuck in combustible cladding nightmares through no fault of their own, prompting calls for urgent reform.

"The lame duck body that carries the title Racing Australia, without a chairman, and with little to do but turn the lights on and off each day and a new CEO Paul Eriksson almost channeling George Costanza and his Penske file."

The dysfunction of racing’s peak governing body will today be on full show before the NSW Supreme Court. In the meantime, the sport is unable to progress national welfare reforms designed to protect horses from cruel treatment and slaughter. smh.com.au/sport/racing/toxi…

Really sad news for anyone with an interest in racing or media in the passing of the legendary Tony Bourke. One of THE giants of The Age, 'King' was a true gentleman, friend & mentor to so many. They don't make them like Bourkey anymore, more's the pity. RIP great man. #RIPKing

My take on Colin Carter's new book and the arguments he puts forward. Not all of you will agree with Colin and/or me but it's a debate well worth having.
Superb assessment of Australian Football - Review: Football's Forgotten Years by @AndrewGigacz. As he writes read the book before forming any opinion on Colin Carter’s forensically developed thesis. @slatterymedia australianfootball.com/artic…
