I'm an Australian journalist talking/writing/broadcasting/posting about sport (particularly AFL football), music, politics and culture. You'll find my stuff at Footyology, ESPN, Australian Community Media and on 3AW.
It's perfect for a montage of tough footy highlights.
When I was working on Optus Vision in late '90s, I lobbied for ages to get them to do an AFL promo clip set to this. Got production guys interested but boss said 'too full on'. Still reckon it would have been awesome!

I did. By not watching either and going to the movies instead.
Three talented young kids to debut for @essendonfc.bsky.social on Friday night. Congrats to Dyson Sharp, Hussien El Achkar and Max Kondogiannis. How's that for cultural diversity?! Hopefully, going to see more of it, too.π
Great thread and one which should alarm anyone connected with the ALP. It wonβt though. They know (in Vic at least) that the right of politics is so splintered and defeated that they scarcely even have to try.
Thanks, appreciate it. π
We're actually having a hiatus with the podcast. I have a fair bit on my plate and am working on a few different projects. May return at some stage though.
Solid win for Collingwood tonight, too much poise for Saints. Yeah, they're old, but not many better for footy nous (eg. Pendles' tonight) & solid across the park. Good system, great discipline. No reason they can't contend again. PS. How's those Daicos boys?! #AFLSaintsPies
Yeah maybe.
Do you know him?
Said it before and I'll say it again ... the nastiest people are on Twitter, the shallowest are on Instagram, but easily the dumbest are on Facebook....π
Quite enjoying this @foxfooty.bsky.social commentary team of Mark Howard, Leigh Montagna play by play & Jordan Lewis & Nick Dal Santo on special comments. Why? Because the game's the focus, the analysis is good, and there's an absence of alpha male blokey bullshit. Like it. #AFLGiantsHawks
Yeah, but did you get Kyle & Jackie O's take on it? π
If Jake Stringer keeps this up, Shania Twain's going to get more airplay than she's had since the late '90s! #AFLGiantsHawks
On FOOTYOLOGY, Rohan Connolly has finally jumped off the Western Bulldogs as a flag threat. But with a degree of trepidation too after what he's seen during the lead-up to the Dogs' first game of the new season. footyology.com.au/are-the-bull...
Been writing about Luke Sayers all summer. The other mob's obsessed by Lachie Neale. In fact more about footy people's private lives these days than the actual game they're all involved in. Which is probably just as well given how little interest so many of those covering it seem to have in it.
Yep
Yep, good point.
FMD ... just read that Michael Koziol love letter defending Kyle & Jackie O. Still can't quite believe it. π±π€£π€ͺ
FMD, I can barely believe I just read that. π±
Seriously, stuff Opening Round. Yeah, I'm a traditionalist, but AFL's got too clever by half drip feeding a season start to select markets & somehow diminishing the buzz around a new year. Just more 'content'. We should be lapping up every kick. But it feels ho-hum. #AFLSunsCats
This is absolutely sick. Look at the bloated POS sitting there genuinely thinking he's some sort of deity while these wackos channel his 'divine power'. You couldn't write a comedy sketch this far-fetched and yet here it is, actually happening for real. America, you are cooked.
Not sure why, there's several lists older than theirs, bulk of their best players are still young ... Smith, Holmes, Dempsey, Myers etc.
Unfortunately, no. We're actually having a hiatus with it. I have a fair bit on my plate and am working on a few different projects. May return at some stage though.
Thanks, really appreciate it. And you never know...
On FOOTYOLOGY, it wasn't just Dennis Cometti's puns which made him such a great commentator, says Rohan Connolly, it was the voice, the timing, the sharp analysis, the whole package. We were lucky to have him.
OK, for @espnaustralia.bsky.social (braces self) let me have it....
Thanks. We're actually having a hiatus with it. I have a fair bit on my plate and am working on a few different projects. May return at some stage though.
That was great!
If you're talking about the podcast, we're actually having a hiatus for now. I have a fair bit on my plate at the moment and am also working on a few different projects. It may still return at some stage though.
