Why the easybeats can be the hardest to defeat
2 days agoI empathised with Alistair Clarkson when he called a reporter from the AFL’s website a not-so very nice name. Just to refresh or enlighten you, AFL Media reporter Matt Thompson asked Clarkson at his Friday media conference a question along the lines of “expecting an easy win this weekend?” The question set off Clarkson, whose [...]
Half-time in the Essendon doping saga
8 May 2013In the end, the ‘Switkowski Report’ delivered Essendon what it expected and wanted to hear.

Where to now for the Socceroos?
28 Mar 2013“OH MAN” was the headline in The Age after Australia’s shock draw with Oman on Tuesday night. It was the thought of yours truly, the 34,000 at the match and the 600,000 who watched on television. With Jordan beating Japan, the Socceroos now sit third in their group and outside the automatic qualifying positions. Australia [...]
