AFL Round 17 North Melbourne v Western Bulldogs: Scores, news and analysis from Kanagroos' centenary game
North Melbourne young gun Harry Sheezel believes the presence of legends including dual premiership captain Wayne Carey at the club's Centenary celebrations on Thursday night can boost the current-day Kangaroos in their quest to upset the Western Bulldogs. Sheezel met up with Carey this week as he presented the 1996 and 1999 premiership captain's six-year-old son Carter with a signed North Melbourne jumper. Sheezel is Carter's favourite player. Carey, who is considered the club's greatest player, and his son are set to be a part of a special on-field celebration of the Kangaroos' 100 years as part of the VFL-AFL competition before the clash with the Bulldogs at Marvel Stadium. Club legends and key figures from North Melbourne's history will be honoured during the night, including members from the club's five premiership-winning teams (1975, 1977, 1996, 1999 and the 2024 AFLW side). 'There is a real buzz around the club at the moment,' Sheezel told the Herald Sun. 'It was great to see 'the Duck' (Carey) and his son Carter, who is a keen Kangas fan. 'He (Carey) goes to the same osteo as me and I've run into him a few times out the front. 'It's pretty cool. 'The Duck' has mentioned to me a few times (how Sheezel is Carter's favourite player). Little Carter had about eight footy cards for me to sign and I presented him with a No.3 jumper as well.' Fans are encouraged to arrive early on and be seated by 6.45pm on Thursday night for the pre-game ceremony, which will include the Kangaroos 300-plus game players Brent Harvey, Todd Goldstein, Drew Petrie, Glenn Archer, Adam Simpson and Wayne Schimmelbusch, as well as Brownlow medallists Malcolm Blight, Keith Greig, Noel Teasdale and Ross Glendinning. All members have access to the club's Centenary game, with access consistent with all other Marvel Stadium home games. General public tickets are available at Ticketmaster. Sheezel said the 2025 side desperately wanted to make amends for last week's thrashing at the hands of Hawthorn with the aim of helping drive the club bounce up the ladder again. 'The club has done a great job of making sure the young draftees know the history of our club. We've won four flags and we are right across that,' he said. 'We know the challenges the club has been through across the generations and we know how the fans have always stayed loyal. 'You feel that every day and that's why everyone wants to stick around this great club and take it back to where it belongs.' North Melbourne's last premiership coach Denis Pagan will give the current side a pre-game rev-up after being asked to do so by current coach Alastair Clarkson. 'I'm looking forward to the rev up, I've heard Denis has made a few of them,' Sheezel said. 'This is a great opportunity on the big stage and hopefully we can feed off the energy of the fans and the past players. 'I have no doubt we will bring that pressure and give it a good crack against the Dogs.' Round 17, vs Western Bulldogs, Marvel Stadium, 7.30pm

GSFL 2025: Albany claim dominant victory over winless North Albany as Peake and Davies boot combined 11 goals
Albany kicked their biggest score of the season, marching to a 90-point victory over North Albany at Retravision Stadium on Saturday in round seven of the Great Southern Football League competition. The Kangas trailed by 36 points at half-time but conceded 13 goals in the second half as the floodgates opened. Brett Peake booted six and Morgan Davies bagged five, the pair hard to stop in the front half as the Sharks claimed a 22.18 (150) to 9.6 (60) triumph. The Sharks had six goals on the board at quarter-time and nine by the long break as the Kangas hung in there, with four of their own at half-time. However, the reigning premiers clicked up a gear in the last half, leading by 76 points by the end of the third term and adding another six goals in the final quarter to register their fifth win of the season. Bailey Taylor and Isaac Baum were terrific and both kicked four majors, while Brock Anning and Max Grimes also impressed. 'Our boys played well, as did North Albany,' Sharks coach Roy Addis said. 'They stayed with us well for the first half and applied pressure; we were able to maintain our style of play in the second half and absorb that pressure and run away with it.' Wingman Robbie Lee returned from concussion and Harrison Hordacre chipped in with four majors. Jyrin Woods was a strong contributor for the Kangas with three goals and well supported by Matt Orzel, David Arthur, Kobi Keen and Tomas O'Farrell in the back line, and Jackson Wray in the midfield. Veteran Graham Ross finished with four goals for the winless Kangas. The Kangas' woes continued with captain Nick Barrow suffering a hamstring injury that is likely to sideline him for at least a fortnight. Kangas coach Brad Bootsma said he was proud of the team's performance despite the loss. 'I think we played really competitively in the first half, but they just wore us down as the game went on,' he said. 'We showed our youth again on the weekend; I think their maturity and the stamina there got the better of us in the end. 'We struggled to stop their ball movements a lot of the time. We couldn't turn that momentum back around once it was going their way, but that just comes with maturity and experience and I was really proud of the way the boys played this week.'

The 50 Best Winnie The Pooh Quotes To Bring Instant Joy
Sometimes life can be so overwhelming. *Gestures wildly.* You know? A.A. Milne's beloved Winnie-the-Pooh series was initially published almost 100 years ago, but its wisdom and values of curiosity and caring for one another are still so relevant today. So here are 50 quotes from Winnie, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and all of their other pals from the Hundred Acre Woods. Quotes About Love & Friendship 'If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.' Piglet: "How do you spell love?" "And really, it wasn't much good having anything exciting like floods, if you couldn't share them with somebody." "I'm never afraid with you." 'Some people care too much. I think it's called love.' "Love is taking a few steps backward, maybe even more…to give way to the happiness of the person you love." "'We'll be Friends Forever, won't we, Pooh?' asked Piglet." "'I wonder what Piglet is doing,' thought Pooh.' I wish I were there to be doing it, too.'" 'One thing you should know, no matter where I go, we'll always be together.' "A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside." "After all, one can't complain. I have my friends." Quotes About Change 'You can't stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.' 'I used to believe in forever, but forever's too good to be true.' 'When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen.' 'I would've liked for it to go on a while longer.' Pooh: 'What should happen if you forget about me?' 'If there ever comes a day when we can't be together, keep me in your heart, I'll stay there forever.' "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard." Quotes About How To Be Present When You Go About Your Day "I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" 'It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'" 'We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun.' 'People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.' 'I think we dream so we don't have to be apart for so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.' 'Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.' 'Piglet was so excited at the idea of being useful that he forgot to be frightened any more, and when Rabbit went on to say that Kangas were only fierce during the winter months, being at other times of an affectionate disposition, he could hardly sit still, he was so eager to begin being useful at once.' "One mustn't complain.' 'What I like doing best is means just going along, listening to all the things you can't hear, and not bothering." 'How sweet to be a Cloud Floating in the Blue! It makes him very proud to be a little cloud.' "It's the best way to write poetry, letting things come.' "Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day." Quotes About Connection And Forgiveness 'Some people talk to animals. Not many listen though. That's the problem.' 'They're funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you're having them.' 'Just because an animal is large, it doesn't mean he doesn't want kindness; however big Tigger seems to be, remember that he wants as much kindness as Roo.' ''And how are you?' said Winnie-the-Pooh. Eeyore shook his head from side to side. 'Not very how,' he said. 'I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time.'" 'If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.' 'I have been foolish and deluded,' said [Pooh], 'and I am a bear of no brain at all.' 'You're the Best Bear in All the World,' said Christopher Robin soothingly. "It makes such a difference to have someone who believes in you." 'Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon.' "A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference." "A hug is always the right size." Quotes About Finding Joy And Being Yourself "The things that make me different are the things that make me, me." ''I don't feel very much like Pooh today,' said Pooh. 'There, there,' said Piglet. 'I'll bring you tea and honey until you do.' "'Hello, Rabbit,' he said, 'is that you?' 'Let's pretend it isn't,' said Rabbit, 'and see what happens.'" "The most wonderful thing about Tiggers is, I'm the only one." ''Honey or condensed milk with your bread?' [Pooh] was so excited that he said, 'Both'' and then, so as not to seem greedy, he added, 'but don't bother about the bread, please.' 'Piglet noticed that even though he had a Very Small Heart, it could hold a rather large amount of Gratitude.' "' and I have brains. The others have fluff. If there is any thinking to be done in this Forest —and when I say thinking, I mean thinking — you and I must do it.' 'It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.' 'I am short, fat, and proud of that.' And finaly, a quote to conclude: 'So, they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.' There you have it, 50 quotes from Winnie the Pooh. Did you have a favorite? Are there any others you personally enjoy? Let us know in the comments!

GSFL 2025: Key position star Josh Bootsma among a number of strong inclusions for North Albany in new campaign
North Albany coach Brad Bootsma says his club are focused on being more competitive and staying in games longer as they enter the 2025 Great Southern Football League season. The Kangas finished fifth on the ladder last year and didn't play finals but endured some heavy defeats along the way. Bootsma was determined to make the Kangas better for longer in the new campaign. 'I'm not going to say we're going to make the four, I'm going to say we're going to win x amount of games,' he said. 'I'm just more confident, or more keen on making sure we can bridge that gap a little bit, and I feel like we will be in a better space this year.' The Kangas hopes of an improved win tally will be boosted by the return of former AFL player and club junior Josh Bootsma, who has spent the last few years playing for Corrigin. He will return to the red and white for the first time since 2011 and brother Jayden Bootsma is also back at the club. Returning players Anthony Coyne, Harry Smith, Jack O'Farrell and Jake Castle will add important depth and livewire Liam Bennell is also an inclusion. The Kangas confirmed the loss of Angus McKercher, Fynn Kelleher-Bird, Alasdair Holroyd, Brock Tiede, and Luke Mowaljarlai from last season. Bootsma said the club also had a strong pool of junior players ready to move up through the senior ranks, including Dylan Bennett, Reagan Christensen, Lachlan Gorman, Blake Tysoe, and last season's colts captain Jack Doak, who all snagged valuable experience with the league side during the 2024 season. He said he hoped some of the team's younger players would let the confidence and experience they gained in the previous season shine through this year. 'We've really worked on a lot of fitness this year and and some other other things as well to try and bridge that gap to be a bit more competitive,' Bootsma said. Bootsma said the club was hopeful veteran midfielder Matt Orzel might return to play this year but expected regular captain Regan Lloyd to spend another year on the sidelines as he works back from a serious knee injury. Nick Barrow will captain the Kangas again and Kobi Keen is the vice-captain. The Kangas will face Railways in the Anzac Day blockbuster to open their season on April 25 before their first home game in round two against defending premiers Albany. 2024 REWIND Finish: Fifth Best and fairest: Nick Barrow Highest Kleemann votes: Jyrin Woods (4) Leading goalkicker: Graham Ross (28) Biggest win: 70 points v Denmark-Walpole Worst loss: 161 points v Railways
