The Swans with a big match sim session as they look to set the record straight in 2025. The mongrel is back, the Warner brothers were right in the thick of it. Get the sense it’s going to be a big season. #AFL

Gout Gout's remarkable All-Schools 200m final run 👇 Stopped the clock at 20.04 (1.5) - the new Australian record. Breaks the oldest record in Australian athletics, Peter Norman's 20.06 from 1968. This kid is only 16! Also the 2nd fastest U18 time ever and quicker than Usain Bolt at the same age.

The Dean Cox era is underway at the Sydney Swans. On Wednesday, he oversaw his first official session in the heat with several fresh faces impressing. But his first priority is to start the process of re-signing Chad Warner. TRACK WATCH 👉 tinyurl.com/4bdc62y4 WARNER LATEST 👉 bit.ly/49807lo #AFL

Yesterday was a monumental day in the history of the Sydney Swans. John Longmire has been at the club for 22 years, 14 of which he was at the helm. He leaves behind an incredible legacy of success, transforming kids into stars and ensuring Aussie rules has a permanent home in NSW. #AFL

'I hope later on when I am playing AFL and I’m a bit more of a role model that I am able to inspire other kids to take this journey. Even if it’s not seen as equal to rugby league, I’m looking forward to seeing what the future holds for AFL and Western Sydney.” STORY 👉 tinyurl.com/42pvpsa9 #AFL

The Indian WBBL players from the Heat and Stars have held a signing session at Drummoyne Oval and hundreds of kids have been queued up. The perfect initiative to generate engagement! #WBBL10

A WBBL doubleheader at Drummoyne Oval is the perfect excuse to throw it back to the WBBL04 finals series. That week on the banks of the Parramatta River featured three incredible, nail-biting matches. And importantly, was the turning point of “making women’s cricket cool”. #WBBL10

Georgia Voll is such a talent. Another score in the 90s as she guides the Thunder to an impressive win at the MCG. Won’t be long until she’s playing for Australia. #WBBL10

Gold Coast Suns logo thoughts: It’s definitely an improvement and better than the original. Quite like the monochrome design. Importantly, I think it looks really good on the home guernsey. By itself? Not so sure. #AFL

Key #AFL draw takeaways for NSW in 2025: - Sydney Derby still doesn’t get prime time - 1.10pm on a Sunday - Plenty of afternoon and twilight footy with only 3 night games in Sydney - Giants with ZERO games on Thursday or Friday - Not many MCG games (Swans - 2, Giants - 1)
