  1. 2001 v Carl (OO) Winless from the first three games, the Crows travelled to a dreary Optus Oval in horrible thunder, lightning and rain desperate for a win. Despite the atrocious conditions, the Crows led by new skipper Mark Ricciuto’s four goals, ground out a heroic win.

  @chatzi41 @iSpeedtestOS That's the iOS 26.5 update adding end-to-end encrypted RCS (beta) support on Apple's side. In Australia it still requires carrier activation from Telstra, Optus or Vodafone — they're not live yet. Rollout still looking like mid-to-late 2026. Toggle should appear in Messages once your carrier enables it.

  @eevblog @Optus customer support is absolutely awful. I've made a complaint and that went nowhere (predictably) Spent over an hour yesterday on a basic query via chat. Will be looking to switch when convenient

  @StevoMedia Next we will be playing Essendon Collingwood at Optus Stadium on ANZAC Day. What a stupid idea, the showdown should actually be played as either the curtain raiser or the closing game to Gather Round.

  @disco___cat Just so stupid, every risk and effect of this policy ignored with boomer belligerence. Basically an Optus breach 2.0 waiting to happen. Sad thing is we'll never learn
