Australia vs Turkey: Tony Popovic’s bold Socceroos selection and tactical masterclass secured a historic World Cup win smh.com.au/sport/soccer/iran…

Popovic made some massive calls. It’s fair to say they paid off

Questions over the Socceroos coach only grew once the team to play Turkey was announced on Sunday. The result justified every move.

How good that footy brought the Danihers into our world. The state funeral as down to earth as Neale would have wanted: theage.com.au/sport/afl/a-se…

A sea of blue and unvarnished love: The many definitions of Neale Daniher

Daniher was known for his fearless approach to football and fighting MND. But his state service was a chance for his family and friends to show the world what the man was really made of.

Seven goalkicking forwards taking their time to extend their contracts with clubs wanting to retain all seven. Ben King has maintained a consistent position that he would use his free agency status to make a considered decision: theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-…

The big men set to cash in with the Hawks, Magpies and Bombers circling

Hawthorn, Collingwood and Essendon are after key forwards and seven of the best remain of contract. But where are they likely to be in 2027?

I’d be delighted to be remembered as a proud everyday Aussie who ‘gave it a crack’

It was Richard Scolyer’s final wish that his passing be announced in his own words. This is his “final goodbye”, an open letter to all Australians that he penned before his final stages of illness....

Lachie Schultz is a footballer's footballer, who the fans have come to admire as much as his teammates. He is ready for a big one on BIg Freeze 12: theage.com.au/sport/afl/the-…

‘The hard way’: Pies forward on gratitude, the Big Freeze and Bobby Hill

Collingwood fans have warmed to Lachie Schultz, now recognising him as a forward who does all the hard things to make his team better. In 2026, he is back to his best.

Jai Serong with two perfect kicks on his opposite foot including goal in final four minutes. Can't be inside outside all the time. PS Dean Cox in Sydney's coaches box has been outstanding entertainment for at least 3 years now.

Essendon president Andrew Welsh says pre-match the club will take their time to choose the right coach for the team. "We will do that in our time". Have had private interest in the job as well, as Welsh says, some public interest. :) @agerealfooty

Good win by Essendon VFL over inaccurate Carlton at Windy Hill. Most important Jordan Ridley appeared to get through ok. A class above he was.

It’s time to take notice of the AFL’s top 10. It’s a game changer

Carlton and West Coast are a genuine chance to play finals this season, despite winning just four of their first 12 games.
