"Roos at home in stripes"
Jon Pierik - The Age
"No longer will the Kangaroos have to wear an alternative strip when playing as the home team against the Magpies, an issue that has rankled those at the club."
"Smile! You're a model"
Suzanne Carbone - The Age
"The Immigration Museum is looking for Melburnians of all shapes, sizes and colours to feature in its May exhibition, Identity: Yours, Mine, Ours, organisers saying they prefer folk who aren't models. The melting pot is bursting with ingredients for Collingwood footballer Heritier "Harry" O'Brien, who was born in Rio de Janeiro to a Brazilian mother and Congolese father."
"Draw reaps $16M"
Michael Warner - Herald Sun
"THE AFL reaped more than $16 million in bonus revenue from last year's Grand Final replay. The bonanza included ticket sales to 40,000 Collingwood and St Kilda members, corporates and a hefty Melbourne Cricket Club members' contribution."
"From Foes to Friends: At the bar"
Mark Robinson and Daryl Timms - Herald Sun
"Mark Robinson: Welcome back, Daz. I hear you and an old adversary, Mick Malthouse, made up in Ireland over a couple pints of Guinness?
"Daryl Timms: Let's say we had some decent conversations, all about footy. But I must admit I was so happy that Collingwood won the replay because I don't think Mick would've been too much fun in Ireland for two weeks if they had lost."
