Suave, debonair, intelligent, funny, athletic, muscular and incredibly handsome — there are so many things I would like to be.

Fondly remembering that time I said to Barry Manilow, "I'm going up the shops. Want anything?"

Not that I hold grudges or anything...

Outside of a Dogs' flag, my greatest footy wish is one each for St Kilda and Freo so Carlton has the longest extant premiership drought.

Gigz @andrewgigacz.bsky.social · 1d

I still haven't forgiven Carlton for John Elliott's comments about Footscray.

Yep. I didn't mean this year. And it will also rely on others following her lead.

Sophie McKay has got a steely look in her eyes that says to opposition players, "Get the f*ck out of my way," and a demeanour that says to her teammates, "Follow me and I will lead you to a premiership."

Love how you can still hear a fan yelling, "F*ck off" on the effects mic when watching #AFLW on the telly.

For those who don't know, Cartlon is the next suburb over from Fiztroy.

The Eagles have sent a signal to the rest of the #AFLW competition tonight, winning 50-19.

Tonight's #AFLWPowerHawks match has set a new #AFLW aggregate score record.

153 PORT ADELAIDE 94 v HAWTHORN 59 (R10 2025, Alberton)
148 Port Adelaide 108 v Gold Coast 40 (R3 2025, Alberton)
143 GWS 37 v Adelaide 106 (R4 2023, Manuka)

Port leading Hawthorn 3.1-2.3 at quarter time. 3.1-2.2 would have felt more appropriate to me.

That’s fantastic! Thanks.

Last night I dreamt I invented a new colour. Turned out it was just a pigment of my imagination.

I was a bit surprised to learn tonight that it takes 16 minutes to wrap a burger and chips at Hungry Jack's.

Thanks Andy. Ooh, I'll have to track that down!

Happy retirement to the subject of one of my best-ever cryptic clues:

2/22 after 2.2! Richie will be in heaven, if he wasn’t already.

That's a shame, because he brought one of these with him:
