Essendon and Richmond playing a second Dreamtime game in WA, while the overall number of AFL games being played in Darwin is halved ... 🧐 #aflfixture
Breaking story out of the Tassie Devils. Not even part of the AFL yet and they have their first off-season scandal.

Cooper Craig-Peters is set to meet new Essendon coach Mark McVeigh this week.
May end up having the choice between the Bombers and Western Bulldogs as a First Nations Cat B rookie if he goes undrafted. @superfooty

Henry Hustwaite seemed to be living the life of a footballer at the top of his game.
In reality, he spent the year playing to impress a second AFL club knowing his Hawthorn career was coming to an end.

From $30,000 player contracts to pokies-backed war chests, Melbourne local cricket has entered a wild recruiting arms race where cash rules and loyalty is dead. We go inside the battle for success.

CALLOUT: Ahead of cricket season, I'm working on a story regarding the changing face of the sport's recruiting. Looking to chat to people regarding their various experiences at all levels across Victoria. Get in touch via the DMs!
Cracking read here.
We went deep on Murphy Reid and how his recruitment despite a dramatic national draft slide shows why this Dockers list team is just so good. The Caulfield Grammar rumour, the Travaglia spray. “Is he a brat?”. The Dockers sorted truth from fiction and got an absolute beauty. “The school thing spooked some clubs but he wasn’t involved in it. And on draft night, Fremantle had done the work, and when he fell to them they couldn’t have read his name out any faster.”

Next big international event I’d love to see the @MCG host … India v Pakistan Test Match.
Puts our complaints about potholes in Victoria into perspective.

ALT Rescuers use an excavator to search for bodies as residents look on after a landslide struck the Dar-es-Salaam dumpsite in Guinea's capital Conakry early on August 23, 2026
Just looking back at Easter Monday and realising that the Gunston poster with seconds left was the difference between Hawthorn getting the double chance over Geelong. #aflfinals
Given the AFL has now issued Geelong with a "please explain" letter, how can AFL Chairman Craig Drummond possibly remain in his current role? Does he now have to explain his own actions to himself? Surely he must stand aside until the investigation concludes.
