The Irish connection that helped Blues snag AFLW star Gaelic football star Erone Fitzpatrick heeded Zach Tuohy's advice on a unique road from Ireland to an AFLW preliminary final, weathering a big setback en route.

“When Irish players do play, they put on an exhibition”

Few do it better in the AFLW than Carlton gun Erone Fitzpatrick.

Loved this chat with Erone about the link with Zach Tuohy that helped her land at Carlton, coming back better from her ACL tear and more. aapnews.aap.com.au/news/the-iri...

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

Matildas berth in Mariners star Gomez's sights Isabel Gomez is arguably the best A-League Women player yet to feature for the Matildas but it appears...

"Gomez has got something that we don't have in that national team set-up at the moment.”

Surely a Matildas call-up is only a matter of time for Izzy Gomez, who’s going from strength to strength.
