Disgraceful and insipid: Collingwood great doesn’t hold back on Pies start to season
Collingwood legend Tony Shaw says his former club’s midfield skills in 2024 have been “disgraceful”, while labelling their current forward line setup “insipid”.

Caro explains why Gold Coast thought they could approach Ken Hinkley
Caroline Wilson thinks Gold Coast’s approach to Ken Hinkley might work out better for him. Port Adelaide reacted angrily on Friday after Suns boss Mark Evans contacted their coach about his future.

“He plays a sacrificial role”: teammate’s defence of Motlop
Mitch Duncan has launched a spirited defence of Steven Motlop.
