Mason Wood was stretched during St Kilda’s match against Collingwood in disturbing scenes for footy fans.

The Saints star was on the receiving end of a big hit with teammate Zaine Cordy in the first quarter of Thursday night’s game, briefly standing compulsively on the field while receiving medical attention.

After a lengthy delay, Wood was removed from the field of play and the match continued.

He was taken to hospital as a precaution and replaced by Zak Jones with just under 10 minutes remaining in the first quarter.

St Kilda said on social media: “Mason Wood has left the field following an incident at the start of the first term. We will provide a further update as soon as we can and provide Mason with the best possible care.

“Fingers crossed for our beloved wingman.”

It is the second time Wood has suffered a serious concussion, having been knocked out in a marking match as a North Melbourne player in 2016.

Footy fans flocked to X – the social media platform formerly known as Twitter – to send their best wishes to the utility man on the road to recovery.

One fan said: ‘My thoughts are with Mason Wood. That was annoying and you never want to see that happen to anyone…’

“That was awful,” another fan added. “I hope Mason Wood is doing well.”

A third fan said: ‘Too much courage sometimes. I hope Mason Wood is doing well on that stretcher. It didn’t look good.”

More to follow.

Niet van deze wereld! AFL WAG Bec Judd pronkt met haar opvallende decolleté in een futuristische J’Aton-jurk terwijl ze de sociale set van Melbourne leidt op Glamour On The Grid voorafgaand aan de Formule 1 Grand Prix

Albert Elence — Wed, 20 Mar 2024 12:05:50 +0000

De who’s who van het sociale gezelschap in Melbourne trokken hun mooiste kleren aan en gingen woensdagavond naar de Marriott Bonvoy Lounge in Albert Park voor Glamour on the Grid.

Bec Judd zorgde ervoor dat alle ogen op haar gericht waren toen ze het aankomsttapijt sierde in een op maat gemaakt ontwerp van J’Aton Couture.

De voormalige WAG-influencer draaide het vuur hoger in een zilverkleurig geschulpt korset waardoor haar decolleté de topattractie werd.

Het futuristische ontwerp viel in een eenvoudige, op maliënkolder geïnspireerde, doorzichtige rok tot op de grond, afgewerkt met zilveren pumps.

Bec versterkte haar opwindende look met een schat aan diamanten, waaronder statement-oorbellen, een tennisarmband, verschillende ringen en een glinsterend uurwerk.

Bij het gedurfde nummer waren ook de sierspelden van Nadia te zien, waarbij de linkerkant van het ontwerp een torenhoge split vertoonde die de aandacht naar haar sprankelende schoenen trok.

De koningin van de socialite-scene in Melbourne koos ervoor om haar karamelkleurige lokken ‘s avonds te dragen en benadrukte haar beroemde gelaatstrekken met een flinke dosis mascara, een gedefinieerde wang en een dikke, neutrale lip.

Natuurlijk vereist een onthullende jurk een diepe kleur, en Nadia accentueerde haar olijfkleurige huidskleur met een bruining van haar eigen zonnebankbedrijf Spray Tan AU.

Elders imponeerde Alex Pike met een ingewikkeld kantontwerp dat over haar verbluffende figuur viel en in een gewaagde split terechtkwam waarin haar sierspelden goed te zien waren.

Ze kleedde zich aan met bijpassende witte en zwarte stiletto’s en een Tag Heuer-horloge.

Ondertussen droeg bestie Sarah het verplichte Melbourne-zwart, waarmee ze haar superslanke lichaam liet zien in een zijdeachtig zwart shirt en een bijpassende broek.

Naked! Nadia Bartel almost risks wardrobe destruction in plunging beige dress with thigh-high slit as she joins Melbourne’s who of who at Glamor on the Grid

Nadia Bartel made sure all eyes were on her as she joined best friend Bec Judd and Melbourne socialite at Glamor on the Grid at the Albert Park race circuit on Wednesday evening, ahead of this weekend’s Formula 1 Grand Prix.

The former AFL WAG, 38, almost risked wardrobe destruction in a shimmering beige DZO dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit.

The dress barely covered her bottom thanks to the tiny skirt underlay, and dangerously close to revealing more than she bargained for.

Of course, a revealing dress requires a deep tan, and she accentuated her olive skin tone with a tan from her own tanning company Spray Aus.

She paired her daring look with sparkling stilettos from friend Lana Wilkinson’s shoe line.

Nadia will likely want to give her feet a rest after Wednesday night, after revealing her toes were sore after Dancing With The Star rehearsals.

Taking to Instagram, the fashionista shared a sneak peek of her intense training for the Channel Seven programme.

Wearing a white singlet and gray yoga pants as well as heels, Nadia filmed herself walking to a mirror in a dance studio before zooming to her feet.

“My sore little feet,” she captioned the images, tagging the official Dancing With the Stars Instagram account.

The fashion designer then shared a full-body selfie in the mirror at the same studio, tagging her dance partner for the show, Lyu Masuda.

“A day of rehearsals,” she wrote in a caption for the photo, in which the mother-of-two marveled at her very fit figure.

It comes as Nadia recently confessed that taking part in the Channel Seven hit is anything but a walk in the park.

Nadia will likely want to give her feet a rest after Wednesday night, after revealing her toes were sore after Dancing With The Star rehearsals.

“Training is a lot harder than I thought it would be and it’s been a bit of a juggle to fit it into my schedule with the boys and work, but I’m loving it,” she told the Herald Sun on Sunday. from weeks ago.

Nadia, who shares two sons with ex-husband Jimmy Bartel, further revealed what drew her to the show.

“I have always watched the show and love the passion and dedication of all the dancers,” she told the publication.

“I love dancing, especially with my boys at home, so the idea of doing this show was so exciting.”

Nadia’s admission follows the official cast announcement for Dancing with the Stars 2024.

Four-time Gold Logie winner Lisa McCune will do her best on the dance floor alongside much-loved MasterChef favorite Julie Goodwin.

They will join singer Samantha Jade, SAS Australia’s Ant Middleton, AFL legend Shane Crawford and Olympian and former senator Nova Peris.

This year’s entrants are joined by comedian Nikki Osborne, James Stewart from Home and Away, presenter Adam Dovile from Better Homes and Gardens and chef Hayden Quinn.

Earlier this month it was revealed that AFL legend Ben Cousins will also be among the stars taking to the dance floor.

The 45-year-old football star, who has spent the last few years rebuilding his life after a fall from grace, explained that part of his redemption arc will include reality TV.

Ben turned down shows like SAS Australia but agreed to do Dancing With The Stars this year, explaining that focusing on a new challenge would help him rebuild his life.

This year’s stars are currently rehearsing.

Dancing with the Stars will premiere on Channel Seven later this year.

Fiery moment Jacqui Lambie bursts out about Tasmania’s new AFL team in tense exchange with The Project’s Sarah Harris: ‘That’s rubbish!’

Albert Elence — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 13:14:07 +0000

Jacqui Lambie has called on Tasmania to scrap its new stadium plans
The new AFL team is dependent on the construction of a new stadium
But Ms Lambie argues the money could be better spent elsewhere

By Ollie Lewis

Jacqui Lambie has challenged AFL chief executive Andrew Dillon in an explosive performance on Monday night’s The Project.

Senator Lambie shared her thoughts on Tasmania’s new AFL team after unveiling the team name – The Devils – as well as the logo and colours.

While Ms Lambie is in favor of a new franchise originating from Tasmania in the AFL, she is strongly opposed to the construction of a new 23,000-seat stadium, which will cost the state government about $375 million.

The launch of the new team depends on the stadium being built, but Ms Lambie says the money would be better spent elsewhere.

“It’s great that we finally have an AFL team. There’s no doubt about that. I have made it very clear that all Tasmanians want an AFL team there, we have done that for years,” she began.

Jacqui Lambie gushed over the proposed new stadium to be built in Tasmania

She labeled a question from Sarah Harris as ‘nonsense’ on Monday evening

“But what we can’t do and what we can’t afford is a brand new stadium with a roof on it. I’ve got guys living in tents with barely a roof over their heads, so I think Tasmanians have about had enough of this.

‘The lack of transparency, we have an increase in our hospitals, we have children who don’t go beyond group 10 of education, that goes down even further. There are a lot of problems in Tasmania at the moment and what it can’t afford is a brand new stadium with a roof over it.”

When host Sarah Harris told her the new stadium will create thousands of new jobs and have a maximum cost of $375 million, Ms Lambie exploded.

‘That’s nonsense! Okay, you can start believing what Tasmania’s Liberals tell you. They would have sold it from day one and they would have been extremely transparent.

“This came from the left of the field and was thrown at Tasmanians. Nobody said anything about a stadium. Next thing [you know] we have a stadium there with a roof.

‘No other state in Australia has been asked to roof a stadium. I mean, this is just absolutely amazing.

Ms Lambie is a supporter of a new AFL team from Tasmania but doesn’t want the stadium

She states that there are more important things that need financing than the stadium

‘If Andrew Dillon wants to tell you what it’s like in Tasmania, hey mate, I’ll lock you up for a few weeks, come have a look in my backyard on the North West Coast and maybe you’ll get a bloody reality check, mate ’cause we’re in Tasmania can’t afford. That is it. End of story.

“We’d love to have one, I can tell you that, but I’m telling you we’re not as rich as Western Australia, we don’t have all that money coming in. There are so many issues in Tasmania where they should be prioritized over a stadium. It’s that simple.’

Waleed Aly argued that the huge costs could be seen as an investment that will make the state more money, which Ms Lambie disagrees with.

When then asked if she would be willing to see Tasmania lose its new AFL team license if the stadium plans fail, she challenged Dillon.

“I say to Tasmanians: we remain steadfast and you dare even try to take this team away from us. Go on, I challenge you.

‘But I challenge Andrew Dillon and his executives to come to Tasmania and do a reality check about how hard and difficult people are doing there at the moment.

“Throwing a stadium in their face with little transparency behind it is a joke in itself.”

Eddie McGuire calls for two HUGE changes to the MCG – and one of them would make the ground completely unrecognizable

Albert Elence — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 05:34:52 +0000

Former Collingwood boss is thinking ahead
Wants MCG to become a truly multifunctional location
Ground has organized Taylor Swift concerts in 2024

By Shayne Bugden for Daily Mail Australia

Published: 1:15 AM EDT, March 18, 2024 | Updated: 1:15 AM EDT, March 18, 2024

Outspoken footy identity Eddie McGuire has called for major changes to the Melbourne Cricket Ground – including a retractable roof that would give the famous stadium a completely new look when deployed.

The former Collingwood president also wants the Great Southern Stand – now called the Shane Warne Stand – to be rebuilt and a retractable pitch added to make hosting multiple events in a short space of time much easier.

McGuire spoke about his Eddie and Jimmy podcast with Geelong great Jimmy Bartel on Monday as he outlined his vision for the future of the ground.

McGuire (pictured cheering in the Collingwood dressing room after a match) wants big changes to the MCG so it can keep up with the most modern stadiums in the world

The MCG (pictured during last Saturday’s Essendon vs Hawthorn AFL match) currently seats 100,000 spectators, but McGuire would like to accommodate an additional 20,000 spectators

The 59-year-old was inspired by a recent conversation he had with Casey Wasserman, Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games chairman and entertainment executive, who told him that the stadium’s future should revolve around it being a multi-use venue .

McGuire revealed that he once met Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots NFL team, and left him stunned when he told him that the MCG can hold 100,000 people.

He sees that enormous capacity as the land’s strongest selling point – and one that should be built on.

“It’s our big difference, the 100,000,” McGuire said.

‘We have to replace that Southern Stand. It must be up to 120,000 here at the MCG.

Australia’s most famous ground needs a retractable roof and removable pitch, says former Collingwood president

McGuire used Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium with its retractable canopy (pictured) as an example of what the G should aim for

“We have to look at the retractable roof, but also the retractable surface forward.

“We need to look at infrastructure to take us forward, not backward.”

McGuire said a retractable roof would not only protect against rain, but could also be a solution to putting athletes and performers in a situation where they have to perform during very hot days.

He cited Spanish football team Real Madrid’s Bernabeu stadium, Canada’s BC Place and Germany’s Frankfurt stadium – all of which have retractable roofs – as examples of what the MCG should aim for.

“NFL games now go to these places for these reasons,” he said.

It’s not the first time McGuire has called for a roof at the G, with the Victorian government beginning a feasibility study in 2022.

Last year, McGuire estimated the cost of adding the roof and rebuilding the Warne stand at $1.5 billion to $2 billion.

If McGuire’s recommendations come to fruition, he is confident the famous venue will be much better positioned to attract bigger events such as Taylor Swift’s recent tour (pictured)

That doesn’t include the option for a retractable pitch, which allows playing surfaces for AFL matches to be quickly moved after major events such as Taylor Swift’s recent concerts on the ground, leaving staff struggling to repair the turf in time for the football season. .

Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium uses retractable pitches, with Aussies allowed to check out the system when it was used to erect a new playing surface for the NRL double header in the city earlier this month.

Instead of taking days to bring the playing surface up to standard, a new playing field can be moved to the stadium in just 65 minutes.

West Coast Eagles star Harley Reid is sparking romance rumors with AFLW player Yasmin Duursma

Harley Reid has sparked rumors that he may be dating a fellow footballer.

The West Coast Eagles star was reportedly spotted ‘getting cozy’ with AFLW player Yasmin Duursma, 19, after an Eagles match on Saturday afternoon.

Yasmin plays for Carlton in the women’s league and shared a tender moment with Reid in the rooms, reports say Perth Now.

Reid made headlines last year as the AFL No.1 draft pick after being selected by West Coast as the country’s best young talent.

The 18-year-old Victorian midfielder, who hails from Tongala in Victoria’s Goulburn Valley region, is perhaps the most hyped draftee in history and is seen by many recruiters as a generational talent.

The teen sensation has been forced to defend himself all year, amid speculation that he was less than thrilled to be moving to the other side of the country.

“It was quite annoying sometimes when they said it and you haven’t even met yet,” Reid said.

“It (the Eagles jumper) is on me now, so hopefully that kind of clears up my desire to get out there and get stuck in.”

He is prepared for the instant celebrity status that will fall on his young shoulders.

“It’s part of the journey, I think, and it’s also quite humbling, but it’s also the motivation to be a superstar and earn the respect of the teammates in that,” Reid said.

‘There is a nice young core group there and a lot of experience.

“There’s a lot of history behind that club too, so I’d like to get involved and hopefully influence that club and help them get back to the top.”

West Coast flew cult figure Nic Naitanui to Melbourne to present Reid with his new show jumping horse.

Naitanui was presented with the number 9 guernsey, which he and fellow Eagles great Ben Cousins wore during their illustrious careers.

Footy fans are all asking the same question after Carlton’s thrilling win over Richmond at the MCG… so, can YOU see what’s wrong with this photo?

Footy fans saw a shocking feature at the MCG
Carlton took on Richmond on Thursday evening
Can you see what’s wrong with the photo below?

Footy fans were enthralled by Carlton and Richmond’s blockbuster Round One clash on Thursday night but couldn’t help but notice a shocking event at the MCG.

The Blues emerged victors in a nail-biting match, with Michael Voss’ side recording a five-point victory to get their season off to a flying start.

More than 83,000 fans descended on the MCG, with the ground staff doing a great job ensuring the venue was ready after Taylor Swift’s triple show at the end of last month.

But fans on social media on Thursday discovered what seemed like an obvious problem with the boundary line: It was not completely curved.

“Why is the line now straight at the mcg?” commented one fan on Reddit.

Another fan replied: “Lazy painting.”

Footy fans spotted what appeared to be an issue with the boundary at the MCG

A third fan said: ‘This actually bothers me.’

But one eagle-eyed fan offered an explanation for the straight line.

“Look at the fence, it’s parallel to it,” they said. ‘I’m sure there should be a minimum distance between the line and the fence so that players can move up on time.’

Elsewhere, Richmond defender Josh Gibcus is believed to have become the third AFL player in the first five games of 2024 to suffer a knee injury during the season.

Gibcus, who missed the entire 2023 season due to hamstring problems, fell awkwardly late in the second quarter of the Tigers’ game against Carlton at the MCG on Thursday evening.

The 20-year-old’s right leg twisted after a marking match and he immediately fell to the ground.

Carlton defeated Richmond at the MCG in a stunning opening round match

A distraught Gibcus left the field on a medical cart and was taken to Richmond’s chambers.

Gibcus’ injury follows two players – Keidean Coleman (Brisbane Lions) and Sam Docherty (Carlton) – tearing their anterior cruciate ligament in last Friday night’s opening match at the Gabba.

The Tigers were already down one player on Thursday evening after veteran midfielder Dion Prestia suffered a hamstring injury during the first semester.

Prestia, who has a history of soft tissue injuries, was withdrawn from the match at quarter-time and replaced by Rhyan Mansell.

Gold Coast stabbing: Haedyn Rawson was a handsome private schoolboy from Ipswich Grammar and a footy hero who was a hit with the girls – now he’s been whisked away in a blue forensic jumpsuit and accused of a vicious stabbing murder

Albert Elence — Thu, 14 Mar 2024 08:17:13 +0000

The former private schoolboy accused of the brutal stabbing murder of a 21-year-old was an award-winning student and footballer whose good looks made him popular with girls.

At Queensland’s prestigious $6,860-a-year Ipswich Grammar, Haedyn Rawson won a reading prize, played football and Australian Rules – and in 2017 took a trip to London with his classmates, where he posed in front of the iconic gates of Buckingham Palace.

The 23-year-old, now a heavily tattooed construction worker, is accused of using a kitchen knife to stab Will Swinbourne on Hope Island on Queensland’s Gold Coast.

Police allege Rawson stabbed Mr Swinbourne following an alleged botched drug deal in a vehicle in the Gold Coast Radiology Clinic car park at 2.15pm on Monday.

Mr. Rawson had been drinking at the Boardwalk Tavern next to the clinic prior to an alleged planned meeting with Mr. Swinbourne, police say.

The pair are said to have met two days earlier through mutual friends at British DJ Fred Again’s concert the previous Saturday evening at The Spit on the Gold Coast.

Haedyn Rawson in this photo was a sweet-faced schoolboy from his days at the prestigious Ipswich Grammar, where he had many friends and enjoyed friendships with girls

On Monday, after a lengthy manhunt in a gated community on lockdown, police arrested Haedyn Rawson and placed him in a forensic jumpsuit for his transfer to a holding cell.

On Monday afternoon, accounting student Will Swinbourne was found with life-threatening injuries in the parking lot on Santa Barbara Road on Hope Island, sparking a three-and-a-half-hour manhunt.

Police allege Mr Rawson fled on foot through a golf course on the nearby Sanctuary Cove estate, forcing the gated community into lockdown as officers combed through streets, waterways and golf courses.

He was eventually found in a cul-de-sac at around 6pm when police handcuffed him and dressed him in a blue forensic jumpsuit before taking him into custody in a police van.

Another 23-year-old man from Surfers Paradise who had been drinking with Rawson at the tavern was arrested at 4.45pm but was later released without charge.

Haedyn Patrick Zachary Rawson appeared in the Southport Magistrate’s Court on Tuesday morning charged with murder and has not entered a plea or applied for bail.

Haedyn Rawson is alleged to have stabbed 21-year-old Will Swinbourne (pictured) in the car park below Gold Coast Radiology on Hope Island at around 2.15pm on Monday.

Most recently, Mr. Rawson worked as a construction foreman at a construction company not far from his home.

Mr Rawson lived on Redbank Plains, just a 20-minute drive from his old school Ipswich Grammar, reportedly with his parents.

He remains friends with his old classmates on social media, but images of him in recent years show an increase in visible tattoos on his arm and neck.

Tributes have been paid to Mr Swinbourne, who studied at Griffith University and whose girlfriend Kaysie Tooth shared a loving message on social media.

“I love you to the moon and back, in this life and the next and beyond,” she wrote alongside a photo of the couple sharing a kiss. “Forever looking at pictures of you, my love.”

Police describe the grim speed at which the fatal encounter allegedly occurred.

Haedyn Rawson played football and AFL while studying at the elite Ipswich Grammar and had kept in touch with his school friends while working in the construction industry

‘It happened very quickly. My understanding is that the victim has only just arrived and the incident has occurred,” Detective Inspector Mark Mooney claimed.

“We believe the altercation started in the car and … at some point he got out because he was found on the ground.”

Mr Swinbourne’s football team, Mudgeeraba Red Backs Rugby League Club, where he played for about 12 years, described him as a ‘very loyal kid, loyal to the club, loyal to his friends’.

Mr Rawson will return to court later this month.

Curtis Scott has triumphed in his professional boxing debut and has set his sights on becoming an AFL Hall of Famer.

Scott knocked out former teammate Joey Leilua in the second round of their fight on Wednesday night after a pre-fight mix-up caused confusion among fans in the arena.

The former Canberra star was scheduled to walk to the ring second, but a frustrated Leilua demanded he have the honor of following the 26-year-old.

“He should be worried about the fight,” said an unfazed Scott.

“They’re just little issues that don’t mean anything to me, buddy.

“We’re going to sort this out so he doesn’t have to worry about the fight and walk out first.”

Scott indeed had the last laugh in the ring, brutally laying out Leilua in the second round with a devastating left hook to walk away victorious.

His victory was all the more impressive because he was 30kg lighter than his rival when they stepped on the scales on Tuesday.

“I’ve been training for the knockout,” Scott said, adding that Leilua’s switch to the southpaw stance allowed him to “shoot it right down the middle.”

Scott then called up AFL great Barry Hall for his next fight. Hall is 21 years older than the former NRL star.

The 26-year-old won a premiership with Melbourne Storm in 2017 and was seen as a potential State of Origin player, but his career was ruined by a series of off-field problems.

In 2022, he was sentenced to a 12-month community corrections order after being found guilty of three charges against his ex-girlfriend, athlete Tay-Leiha Clark, including assault occasioning actual bodily harm, common assault and stalking or intimidation with intent to causing distress or physical harm.

He had been dismissed from the Canberra Raiders before the assault charge over a separate incident involving an altercation at a nightclub, although he was later cleared of all charges.

He is also embroiled in a legal battle with NSW Police over what he claims was an ‘unlawful’ arrest in 2020.
