Want to know where proper intelligent footy analysis started?

Sports marketing can be riddled with prescriptive nonsense to appease sponsors and/or KPIs.
Whether by design or accidental, the AFL’s #GatherRound has worked by getting out of the way and letting fans find their groove. #SportsBusiness READ: www.theroar.com.au/2025/04/16/a...

My first part-time job as a teen was selling the AFL Record at the MCG, so it was great to be involved in the Record’s annual top 50 AFL Movers and Shapers list. Out now.

Dad was telling me last night about going to see this crazy double bill as a 16 year old in 1968; The Who and The Small Faces at Festival Hall.

A decade back Greg Chappell was pilloried for an obsession with youth.
Spoke to him 12 months ago, he maintained the line and worried for the national team’s future.
It looks prescient today. #AUSvIND

Had spent an hour and half watching the ARIAS even though I was battling to know any song played/nominated…and then they roll out the bloody Pixies! ❤️
That’s called a good investment @pixiesofficial.bsky.social

Everyone’s down on the new Gold Coast logo, but it only took me 3 days to see the ‘Sun’ in it.
Whereas it took me 30 years to see Atlanta’s Hawk.

The David Warner retirement reversal offer? It’s got nothing on the Dean Jones hoopla 30 summers ago.
