I'd argue a better crowd pop exists from this goal at the 2005 AFL Qualifying Final at Subiaco Oval
This has to be the best crowd pop in the history of sports. The roof is off. The city is on fire. I can’t stop listening to it.

Australia's newest airport has announced its first domestic flights, and it will have more services to Melbourne than anywhere else. Western Sydney International promises cheaper airfares and better connections by road and eventually rail. @BlakeJohnson

WATCH: A Lufthansa Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner (D-ABPQ) sustained substantial damage after its nose landing gear collapsed while parked at the gate at Frankfurt Airport. The incident led to the cancellation of today's LH450 to LAX service as airport and airline teams assess the extent of the damage. Video from the scene shows the aircraft resting on its nose after the front landing gear unexpectedly gave way while stationary. No injuries have been reported, but a technical investigation into the cause of the collapse has been opened.

Geoffrey Thomas always had time to take my calls and help fill in the blanks when it came to aviation news. Smart and considered, with a sharp mind. He will be missed.

Demand for electric vehicles is so strong, a Chinese car manufacturer has just made history in Melbourne. For the first time, BYD has brought its own car carrier vessel to Australia, as the brand chases Toyota for the number-one spot in sales down under. @BlakeJohnson

Today was the end of the @StarsBBL and the @RenegadesBBL as we know them. Staff were informed the Stars & the Renegades are merging into one brand new Victorian franchise to play at the MCG & likely wear navy blue. The club will be called the Melbourne (insert nickname), but it won't be the Stars. Cricket Victoria has committed to selling its second license entirely. @1116sen @SEN_Cricket @7Cricket
