Don't think I've seen Lynchy and Derm doing a half-time summary to camera since this one below. Wonder if they were a little nervous? 😂

Well, I said it (only half-jokingly) when he was 7yo, but I'm not joking now. Max Holmes is going to win a Brownlow Medal before his career ends. Been unbelievable today. #aflcatssuns

I'd love to see Tasmania in the AFL. But there's a lot of footy people blithely dismissing the considerable objections to the insistence on a new stadium as part of the deal without bothering to understand them. They should definitely read this piece.

On FOOTYOLOGY, they’ve been like water and oil since football began, but Carlton and Essendon actually share many similarities as they find themselves struggling in recent times, writes Rohan Connolly. #aflbluesdons #footyology

Clearly the media obsession with this story is only being fuelled by demand, but I honestly just don't understand the level of interest in the "mushroom murders". Once you digest (pardon the pun) the initial details, what is it exactly which has made it so fascinating to people?

Really hard to believe it's already 2 years ago today we lost our mum, Jo Connolly. She was a force of nature, 4 kids by 28, a Spanish degree in her 40s, led tours to Latin America & China, a passionate advocate for social justice. She loved life & we loved her for it. RIP Mum.❤️

I knew there'd be some function for which social media was perfectly equipped. Turns out it's grammar, specifically the teaching of the rule about comparative and superlative. And here it is... Threads = Dumb. X = Dumber. Facebook = Dumbest.

Really looking forward to these News Corp grifters trying to come up with 3 more years of confected culture war outrage for an audience literally dying off & not being replaced because the rest of the world has moved on from this childish crap. Games up guys, you lost.😂🤡

I'm sure Tom Harley would be great for the AFL, but I'm sorry, Caro, I could not give a continental what friggin' school he went to and whether Gill McLachlan went there. This Melbourne upper-class obsession with the schools people went to 30 years ago is so bloody tedious.🙄

Wow that was match-saving courage from Andy Brayshaw before and a match-winning tackle from Shai Bolton! Amazing efforts! Terrific win for Freo! #AFLSunsFreo

Brisbane steadied when needed, but in the end that was a bloody good effort by a badly-depleted Essendon side. Still short of enough quality, but Caddy, Kako, Roberts, Clarke, Johnson ... draft kids are really giving the side a boost. More power to Matt Rosa. #afllionsdons

Look, I probably won't be around to see it, but jeez it will be great when those people wringing every dollar they can out of AFL football for themselves finally decide they're rich enough & bugger off and give the rest of us our game back! It's just an orgy of self-interest now.

On FOOTYOLOGY, Carlton’s backline and midfield are solid, says Rohan Connolly, but its once potent forward set-up may well prove the fatal flaw in the Blues' finals plans. #footyology

Probably appropriate, really, isn't it? The Liberal Party today is populated by so many shallow, entitled, out-of-touch wackos that you know you're not going to hear any sort of decent soul-searching anyway. They're completely incapable of it (see Jane Hume today, apparently WE got it wrong!) 😂

Congrats, Tim. This eight-part post of yours whingeing about whether you might have to wait another five seconds to claim your much-sought electoral spoils is actually longer, more detailed & makes more sense than any policy the Liberal Party rolled out for the election.
