Vale Patrick Smith. The late Les Carlyon said it best. “There are no impenetrable thickets, none of the clichés that so often deaden sports writing, just one crystal-clear sentence marching effortlessly into the next.”
Vale the AFL Legend Ron Barassi 17 4 10. What a contribution to life
“Ron Barassi has contributed more than an individual could possibly give to our sport and we give our deepest condolences to Cherryl, all members of the Barassi family and their many friends,” AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan said.

For 89 years, Barry Humphries entertained us through a galaxy of personas, from Dame Edna to Sandy Stone.

May he rest in peace.

It’s referred to as the ‘World Game’. This minority of racists are not supporters of the World Game. If they were, they would show respect to all cultures across the globe that contribute to the World Game. abc.net.au/news/2022-10-02/s…

BREAKING: BILOELA FAMILY RECEIVE PERMANENT VISAS
At 2.30pm today the Nadesalingam family, affectionately referred to as the ‘Biloela family’, were visited by the Department of Home Affairs team at their Biloela home and given the news that they have been granted permanent visas.
Let’s hope the media reflect on their role around this young man. His honesty and words from the heart should be celebrated
