No crowds allowed at local footy tomorrow. Completely unenforceable (public grounds/parks) and just means local footy clubs can’t sell food or drink and make some much needed coin. Ridiculous rule.

Senior statesman of Australian sportswriting @reedrw remembers Don Grossman and an instructive (rough and tumble) day at the Dennington FC. Interested in naming the players in the photo too. @sydneyswans #Warrnambool footyalmanac.com.au/almanac-…

You can see his father's war record here (I hadn't realised he was rescued from a shipwreck while a POW): vwma.org.au/explore/people/8…. It would be great if Ron or someone wrote up a little biography to go with it.

More a LUNCH than a LAUNCH but happy to call it a RE-LAUNCH. Whatever we call the function, it will be well worth hearing @reedrw and hearing about 'War Games' and other stories.
Ron Reed is an icon in Australian sportswriting. His new book, 'War Games', will be launched on April 23 at the North Fitzroy Arms Hotel. footyalmanac.com.au/book-rel… @NthFitzroyArms @reedrw @heraldsunsport @wpbooks #WarGamesbook

“Blue Heaven with Leigh, helping Carlton celebrate the 1982 premiership”. So writes Ron Reed, Dark Navy devotee and sports scribe sans peer. A love of the Dark Navy is but part of “The Hound’s” new tome War Games - A Father & Son Memoir Of War & Sport - carltonfc.com.au/news/871291

This police officer was ordered to take down his video message. But I was not. Here is the video I screen captured before it was deleted. All should hear this. More police should speak up.

Why didn't Max Hastings sack Johnson from DT? Because he wrote good copy ,which is the business he was in, and if editors fired everyone with character traits such as Johnson's there would be a lot of out of work journalists. And editors.

Metro CEO enjoying yatching on the bay while public get screwed
Won't it be something when a Gatorade Game Changer from the Rampage, Flyers, Bolts or Deadlys kicks a 20-point Zooper goal from the Launch Zone at Marvel Stadium?

What a tribute. That amazing email from Patrick Taylor has been nominated as one of the sports moments of the year. #bbccricket
When Patrick Taylor’s cricket-loving father passed away, he knew exactly how best to remember him. He wrote a moving tribute full of cricketing references which was read out live on the BBC’s BBC Test Match Special by commentator Jonathan Agnew Vote 👉 myLaureus.com
