'I’m not sure how he flies under the radar given everything he’s achieved.'
Jake Lloyd and Harry Cunningham have played 191

games together for the Swans over the past decade. But they're more important than ever to their 2024 flag chances.
STORY ▶️
Lots of special memories of Shane Warne, but the one that’s sparked the most conversations for me today has been one away from cricket.
His appearance as Wayne the Shane Warne impersonator on Kath and Kim.
So many people who had no interest in cricket loved him for this cameo.
Mitchell Starc made it to Christchurch to watch Alyssa Healy in the final!
I absolutely love that he could be earning millions in the IPL but family always comes first.

Since taking over as head coach, Andrew McDonald has:
Won the ICC Test Championship ✅
Won the ICC World Cup ✅
Retained the Ashes in England ✅
Won a Test series in Pakistan ✅
Hasn’t lost a Test at home ✅
#CWC23
Some immaculate areas.
Not only are some of the lads still in their playing kit. They’re at the swim-up bar in their kits.

#WCQ2022
Ellyse Perry, coming into the game with a back injury, diving and putting her body on the line on the final ball, with Australia already on 350+, to get an extra run for her team.
If that doesn’t typify this team’s character, nothing does.
#CWC22
It's a small thing, but Pat Cummins leaving the trophy down low and not raising it up for the first time until his entire team is on stage speaks volumes of the humility of both his leadership and this team.
#CWC23
Tsitsipas smashes his racquet after losing the first set to Kyrgios.
In doing so, he clips his coach, who is also his Dad.
His mum then comes down from the stands to tell him off.
That's it, I'm an ATP Cup convert. Sign me up for it all.
#ATPCup
Just a reminder about Alex Carey.
Test batting average before falling in the pool in Karachi: 20.20
Since falling in the pool in Karachi: 101.50

The footage of Peter Bol’s friends and family watching his race tonight at his mum’s house is so pure and is absolutely incredible!

This World Cup was meant to be India’s crowning glory. The pinnacle of an incredible decade from one of the best ODI teams ever.
Instead, Australia claim their 6th men’s World Cup. And most Aussies will check their phone tomorrow, say ‘Nice!’, before rolling back to 😴
#CWC23
After a pretty shocking yarn about WAGs circulated today, it made me think about all the incredible female athletes in this country.
So I made a list.
And the hardest part about it was there are so many talented names that missed out.
Australia's Top 100 Female Athletes ⬇️
I hope the result never overshadows how incredible this was.
As a fan, I have never experienced the 60 seconds of pandemonium that followed Sam Kerr’s goal.
One of the biggest “I’m her” moments ever in 🇦🇺 sport.
#FIFAWWC
One of the all time banners from the Giants
“It’s been a long time
The Bombers have waited
Last time they won a final
We weren’t even created”.
#AFLGiantsDons
The poise of Ajla Tomljanovic to deal with this question is remarkable.
Can’t believe this was the first thing she was asked after a grand slam quarterfinal.
#Wimbledon
“My personal opinion is I absolutely love Australia and think it is the best country in the world...I think we should have an Australia Day but I think we can probably find a more appropriate date to celebrate."
Eloquently put by Pat Cummins.

@LMcKirdy7
Australia lost to India and SA, almost lost to NZ and Afghanistan, almost lost Semis, and somehow sneaked in with two knock-out wins to be champions. They are just lucky to be champions. It's just an overrated team and a bunch of lucky players
Travis Head has unwittingly become the best marketing play for this random India-Australia T20 series.
Everyone is going to tune in just to see whether and how he plays after a five-day bender.
#INDvAUS
Hawthorn have spent the whole year leaning into their young, confident persona.
But the minute someone has a go back at them and suddenly a line has been crossed.
Should Ken have stayed quiet? Maybe. But it’s all part of the theatre of the game IMO.
#AFL
Gout Gout missed the start, but still set a PB and claimed silver.
Absolutely ridiculous that he’s only 16. The future is so bright for him.
#WorldAthleticsU20
Special Virgin Australia flight down to Melbourne with every passenger getting a Giants scarf.
Already heard a few disgruntled Carlton fans down the back…
#AFLFinals
I hope Australia realises just how good they’ve got it with Kaylee McKeown.
She loves the big stage and her 100m performance tonight was impeccable.
If she wins the 200m back and 200m IM, she genuinely enters the conversation as our greatest Olympian of all time.
#Paris2024
MORE GOLD TO AUSTRALIA!!!
Matty Ebden and John Peers claim the men’s doubles for Australia’s first tennis gold since 1996.
And to make it even better? They beat Americans in the final 🇦🇺
#Paris2024
I just hope when this Christian Petracca situation is sorted, he announces where he’s moving in one of his TikTok cooking videos by pulling his new club’s guernsey out of the oven.

The final Aussie has been in Action these Olympics!
Thank you everyone for following along. It was fantastic to be over here and experiencing some of these amazing moments first hand.
And to all those who read my work during the Games, it’s appreciated.

Two Australians have now scored double centuries in ODI cricket, and incredibly, they were both in Mumbai.
Belinda Clark - 229* v 🇳🇱 in 1997
Glenn Maxwell - 201* v 🇦🇫 in 2023

AUSTRALIA 🚨
GET TO YOUR TVS 🚨 📺
The Sharks are currently leading reigning Olympic champions Serbia 6-1 at half time of their pool match.
As far as I can see, Australia has never defeated Serbia in their previous 17 attempts.
#Paris2024
The men's
#T20WorldCup
will go undefended once again.
England defeat Sri Lanka with two balls remaining to knock Australia out.
For mine, India clear favourites now.
I like how Pat Cummins has produced a captaincy masterclass this Test, has a 408 run lead and people are still questioning his decision to bat again.
Pretty confident they know what they're doing. Making Pakistan go into the field again, they'll be exhausted.
#PAKvAUS
To put into perspective how good Mary Fowler is…
Sam Kerr (only!) had three international goals when she was 20.
Mary Fowler already has 13!!!
#AUSvTPE
🇦🇺 AUSSIES IN ACTION 🇦🇺
Day 1 | Saturday, July 27
It’s finally here! What a day we’ve got lined up.
Swimming. The Boomers. Diving and cycling gold medals up for grabs. Plus we could have a historic Aussie men’s rugby sevens medal!
#Paris2024
Big fan of Harry Souttar making a point of calling on people to carry this energy from the

@TheMatildas
on home soil next year 👏👏👏
If your players are sleeping in their own beds the night before a game, and the majority of your membership base have the option of travelling a short distance to attend the game, then it’s a home ground advantage.
The discourse trying to prove otherwise is wild.
#AFL
Won't be running out of superlatives for that match anytime soon.
It had everything.
But for me, the defining moment will be Ellyse Perry putting her body on the line on the boundary rope.
If Australia win this
#T20WorldCup
, that will be the lasting memory.
Travis Head and Marnus Labuschagne are both more than above average Test bowlers.
I think there's a big argument to only pick Nathan Lyon in India, if you've got both of them in your XI already.
#AUSvSA
A few people online criticising this.
It’s a bit of fun, it hurts nobody and it has over 300k views. Reckon that’s a good result? 🤷♂️
People take life way too seriously.
#BBL13
If Glenn Maxwell makes you think, Michael Neser has just taken a sledgehammer to the door and barged into your house.
A career best 176* off 202 balls. What an innings 👏

To accompany the daily schedules that will appear here, I have created a one-stop spreadsheet for all your Olympics details.
Sport info and schedules, Aussie team facts, medal history, it's all there. Get stuck in!
The Suns spending years working with young players to make sure they play Aussie rules, loading their draft picks to make sure they can match bids and getting four strong players in the draft: How dare they!
North getting pick 3 for losing a Free Agent: Nah, play on.
