‘I want to apologise for all this’: Stawell Gift winner apologises after losing title over drug test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The men’s winner of this year’s Stawell Gift, Olufemi Komolafe has been stripped of the title and his prizemoney over a failed drug test. Komalafe has apologised for his accidental breach which saw him fail a doping test after the prestigious Easter Monday 120m sprint. He will lose the title and the $40,000 winner’s cheque. “I want to apologise for all this. I won’t keep the title of Stawell Gift winner, but the experience of winning it was invaluable, and I’m eager and confident that I can take
Fired by a friend: The unsparing kitchen meeting that ended Clarkson’s reign (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Todd Viney and Sonja Hood sat opposite Alastair Clarkson in his Brighton home on Tuesday and delivered the news: He was sacked. “He didn’t see it coming,” said Viney, Clarkson’s old friend and teammate whom he brought to North Melbourne as his football director and consigliere.

An image would flash in his mind of him dropping a mark, or missing a kick. It was never a strong intercept mark, punch or clearing kick. It was never good. So, if he remembered the 2023 grand final, he wouldn’t think of keeping Harris Andrews out of the game, he’d remember the dropped mark at the top of the goal square.

Read excerpt
Sydney are the team everyone now wants to play in finals. Carlton are the team no one wants to play. Forget the Swans’ win over North Melbourne, it doesn’t change that. The Swans had to respond on the field after the week they had, and they were playing a bottom-five team whose season was over in two hours’ time. Sure, North weren’t playing for anything the past couple of weeks either, when they played very well, but this was the last round, feet were already being put up. The Swans showed some

Glasgow: These Commonwealth Games have been like the friend who is told at the last minute the dinner party is going to be at their place. They try to argue that someone else should host, but eventually, begrudgingly, they agree. “OK, I’ll have it, but we’re only having takeaway. And don’t bring your kids, we don’t have room. And I’m working tomorrow, so you can all leave early.” This event was wi
