Lonzo mixing it up on the defensive boards makes SUCH a difference for the Cavs

This is absolutely what the full-time branding should be and you can’t convince me otherwise

I will also forever die on the hill of Sangakkara actually being the best modern day red ball batter. He just doesn’t have the Big 3 PR 🤷🏾♂️

Absolutely wild that he retired literally a few months after doing this. Probably the only Sri Lankan to leave the game before the game left him. 🐐
Birthday boy Kumar Sangakkara is the only player in the history to hit four consecutive centuries in an ODI World Cup. #KumarSangakkara #HappyBirthday

Walking a batter is definitely the baseball equivalent of fouling up three. Absolute cowardly behaviour #MLB #WorldSeries

Took this thought bubble and decided to write about it.

The AFL trade period offered three different test cases on just how much value a first-round pick holds during negotiations. Two stars got their moves, while one was left stranded.
Just on this, we’ve probably reached the point where draft picks should be discussed in terms of number rather than round. For example, receiving two top-10 picks isn’t the same as receiving two picks in the late teens or 20s, even though all four are R1 picks by definition.

Between this and Blake Hardwick posting 2/10 quality memes on Instagram, the Hawks are clearly coping well and are definitely unbothered about not getting Zach Merrett. Going to be a summer of posting through it.

Watching Hawthorn's poo poo platter of picks being airbrushed in real time into a package Essendon cannot humanly pass up has been incredible.

100% agree. The absolute worst thing for Essendon to do right now would be to act like everything is fine and dandy because Zach Merrett is still there. Hawthorn’s approach showed a lack of respect, which is a direct result of the dysfunction at the club. Time to get to work.
In all honesty now it’s all done A shit load of introspection needs to happen at our footy club Everyone needs to look in the mirror and ask what can I do to make this joint better Andrew Welsh’s stance is an opportunity if every single person is strong enough to be vulnerable

Offering what it did after so long and then it coming with a threat of the offer expiring just hours after it was delivered showed that Hawthorn was never going to negotiate in good faith. Essendon’s response makes sense.
Essendon was so dismissive of Hawthorn’s offer - believing it was well off the mark - that it never actually responded formally. @FootyonNine @1116sen @9NewsMelb
