Worst thing? It’s marketing nonsense to call it a ‘wildcard round”. It’s now just a top 10 and there’s 2 weeks of elimination finals. So 10/18 teams play a final. What’s the point of 23 rounds when you can be the 10th best team and play finals?

Mulder declaring on himself on 367* and his side 5/626 on day two… I don’t know whether to be impressed or not, tbh

Commentators tonight for #AFLTigersSuns keep saying Hardwick sides haven’t won at Marvel since 2021. It’s not right. They beat the Dons there by a point in round 22 last year, and I remember that… for no reason.

Heartbroken to be doing this but I’m going on strike for secure jobs and to protect the public’s right to quality journalism. I'm so impressed with how many of my colleagues are taking action over our treatment during EBA negotiations. @withMEAA #DontTorchJournalism
