Anyone with any idea why the Umpires are in blue when there’s a team in blue playing?
Different hues of blue
I grant you.
but still…

Every sport and every event should do this on their broadcast/media capture day.
You know, the day clubs and codes get everyone in for team photos.
For the life of me - it can’t be that hard.
This, as always, is excellent.

I guess if you’ve waited a couple of decades for a
Perth NRL team - you can wait a few hours more for membership!

Charlie King is retiring from @abcsport
Charlie is one of the best humans I’ve being lucky enough to work with.
A true gentleman and a fine operator across decades. He’ll be missed. (Shame about his EPL team though 🤣)

Don’t say we can’t see things through rose coloured glasses at @abcsport - thanks to the @GoldCoastSUNS for the sunnies.

Personally thrilled the AFL Grand Final remains as a day game for the next two years.
I’m convinced the game is better during the day - and we’re there for the game not the entertainment.
The majority of fans want a day GF - Well done to the AFL for listening to them on this one.

Freo fans - you can leave the scuba gear at home today.
Only 1mm of rain is expected after 11am, so much better conditions than first thought for the game v Richmond.
Hope to see you out there - if not - join us on @abcsport and 102.5FM ABC Perth from 12:50pm WST

It was a real thrill to be able to call some games in Perth at the @afcasiancup for @abcsport
Thanks to everyone who made it happen. Collette Gardiner was awesome as our expert.
Shout out to Rach Stowers on the sideline and our wonderful Techs Adrian and Tristan.

Have to hand it to the WA Road safety commission.
It’s a genuine first to have a road safety initiative that forces drivers to continually take their eyes OFF THE ROAD.
I see the demerit points.
But I don’t see a safer road if I’m not looking at it because Drivers are now forced to constantly check no passenger has slipped their seatbelt off their shoulder.

Dennis and Ian Brayshaw started Saturday Sports Talk on the ABC in 1981.
They teed up a heap of mates to call in thinking they wouldn’t get any traction.
None of them got to air because the phone lines went bonkers.
The show is still going strong 45 years on.
Vale to the GOAT
Legendary sports commentator Dennis Cometti has died aged 76, his family has confirmed.
Very sad news.

Sport broadcasting has lost a Giant today.
Thoughts with the family and close friends of the great Dennis Cometti.
He was a brilliant broadcaster who captured some of the greatest moments we’ve seen with a velvet voice and the perfect choice of words.
Den provided the soundtrack to some of Australia’s greatest triumphs.
He was also incredibly giving of his time and advice - something I’ll always be grateful for.
R.I.P.
