My AI, you can have your AI however you want, but I've watched Pluribus and my AI is a she.

Simo, see you at the footy tonight.

I'll see you tonight, mate.

Salute to State of Origin.

For much of the night, Game 1 looked like it might have been a lemon, but it produced a thrilling climax and an all-time highlight to complete an all-time comeback.

James Tedesco's hangar giving New South Wales the series lead before it comes to Melbourne in three weeks.

It is the duel in rugby league's crown because of its capacity to deliver time after time.

I wasn't sure whether I'd go to the MCG on June 17.

I will now.

I will now.

The AFL landscape is in the grip of the mega James Heard campaign, a phenomenon the likes of which I can't recall.

Michael Long stepped forth last night in a rare public statement beseeching the Bombers to install Heard as coach.

The Redemptionists have this rolling with precision and momentum.

If I was at Essendon, I'd immediately commission research to accurately measure the sentiments of the membership base.

Any public polling is skewed by those who don't barrack for the bombers and seem vehemently against the herd uprising.

And I'll say this all year long.

It doesn't matter what those on the outside think.

This is a matter for the Essendon faithful.

If I was taking a stab from what we'd see, I'd say it runs better than 80% to have Heard finish the story.

It might serve Essendon well to fully understand where those numbers lie.
