Thoughts with every sports reporter who’s spent the past 4 years diligently covering second tier sports, only to miss out on a spot at #Olympics2024Paris because a news journo or presenter was sent instead. (Who will then ring them at all hours for contacts and to check facts).

Why is Kelli Underwood #AFL trending? I had a lot to do with her when I was @abcsport boss.. a more knowledgeable, committed, hard working person you could ever meet. Importantly, in an industry full of egos and “difficult people”… she is a faaantastic human. Why the hate?

Impressed by Thurston for asking the"six again" question to Robinson. 👏 A lot of card-carrying TV journos were intimidated and didn't ask the obvious question, sticking to simple "great win Trent", "back to back" and "how good is Cooper Cronk?".

I’ve notice when @AFL player/official does something wrong (drugs,assault,stalking etc), he’s a “troubled soul”,”gone off the rails” or “working through a few problems”. But when @NRL player or official does something, it’s portrayed as indicative of entire sport. Discuss.

If the NRL want to spread the gospel of rugby league, play the #NRLGF one or two hours earlier. If kicked off at twilight, rather than night, it’d be only 7:30pm in NZ and Pacific, 7:30am UK and much of Europe, and, around 10:30pm across West Coast of USA on a Saturday night.

Loving all the support for #SteveSmith . We’ve come a long way from when another decent man, Kim Hughes, was seen as “weak” and mocked for showing his emotions when he quit as captain in the 1980s. Thank goodness for that. @CricketAus

Just saw a doco on the “greatest black tennis players of all time”. No mention of this woman: the legendary Evonne Goolagong Cawley. (And my wife’s namesake @EvonneGeluk ). 7 Grand Slam singles titles. What a magnificent Australian. ✊🏻👏🏻 #Wimbledon #FrenchOpen #AustralianOpen

I get that die-hard league and #NRL fans are loving troubles with @wallabies , but it's terrible for Aussie sport "brand" worldwide. As @Peter_Fitz points out, the jersey is a flag, and our players are ambassadors. When the team loses, our overall sporting reputation takes a hit.

Growing tired of people asking me why Canberra is "such an unstable place." For the record... most Canberrans are regular, hardworking Aussies. My dad sold insurance and mum ran the school canteen. Self-centred politicians have nothing real to do with the city I love.

Great #BledisloeCup . I was sideline at Eden Park working for @StanSportAU , @wwos , @skysportnz , and the organisers were in a panic: they needed some gold for the Aussie anthem. Tada! To the rescue! There she is, wearing MY @wallabies scarf! 🤣🏆 @Roz_Kelly @Peter_Fitz @MurrayShaw1

You can have your “Gladiators” trophy, but I reckon this image, in today’s @dailytelegraph deserves iconic status. There is nothing more rugby league than a sacked coach walking his dog in the rain, wearing a hoodie, shorts and thongs. (Missing: form guide) #NRL @SSFCRABBITOHS

Can an economist with a bigger brain than mine explain this? When I lived in Middle East, petrol was really cheap at the pump. I was told because it was plentiful. Why then is meat, dairy, fruit, vegetables and natural resources expensive in Australia and New Zealand?
