Three matches, three upsets.
This format is actually Very Good.
Mitch didn't take issue with the costumes.
He pointed out that Bailey saying "this is what a grand final loss does to ya" in his caption, belongs to a decades-old homophobic trope where losing or weakness is synonymous with being gay.
But nuance isn't modern media's forte.
Mitch Brown has hit out at Bailey Smith's "homophobic" Mad Monday Brokeback Mountain reference.

This is so brave, particularly right now when LGBTQIA+ voices were largely sidelined in the national conversation over the past few weeks.
Representation matters, and Mitch has paved a path forward for queer folk growing up in AFLM spaces to follow.
Thank you, Mitch. 💕

New at Bounces: An in-depth interview with the woman who broke the silence around Alexander Zverev during the #AusOpen trophy ceremony with five words:
"Australia believes Olya and Brenda"

It's not lost on me that Australia's broadcast fawned over and practically willed Zverev to break his GS final curse with zero mention of his (alleged) domestic abuse.
What a moment of bravery from this woman to bring Olya and Brenda's stories into the light. #AusOpen
Some deeply necessary reporting from @BenRothenberg.
Per his yarn, Zverev said afterwards: "There haven't been [any accusations] for, what, nine months now? Good for her. I think she was the only one in the stadium who believed anything in that moment."

Just as Zverev is about to speak at the trophy ceremony, a woman repeatedly shouts:
“Australia Believes Olya and Brenda! Australia Believes Olya and Brenda!”
Broke through the silence.
#AusOpen
When was the last time a player defeated four top 10 seeds - including #1 and #2 - en route to a GS title? Heckin' unreal run from Keys. #AusOpen

Everyone, it's time to Be Nice To Brain! 🧠
Be Nice To Brain is a brand new awareness campaign that highlights the link between alcohol, mental health and wellbeing.

Australians expect our leaders to make decisions that focus on our health & wellbeing without influence from harmful industries like alcohol and gambling.
That’s why we collaborated w/ @ReformGambling, supported by Mannifera, on a tool that shines a light on industry influence.
