'What he would have wanted': Family of AFL legend set to sell Brownlow Medal
The family of late Sydney Swans legend Barry Round are reportedly set to sell his Brownlow Medal at auction later this year. Round played 193 games for South Melbourne and Sydney from 1976 to 1985, winning the prestigious Brownlow Medal in 1981. An AFL Hall of Fame member and part of the Swans' team of the century, Round died in 2022 at age 72. On Tuesday, Channel 7 reporter Xander McGuire revealed his family have made the call to sell his Brownlow in September. McGuire wrote on social media: "The 1981 Brownlow Medal is officially up for grabs! Won by the late Barry Round at the Swans, his family is putting it up for auction in late September at Leski Auctions. The medal will be offered by itself - while other lots will include his match worn jumpers, other awards and documents." Round's family first revealed last year they were planning to auction off his Brownlow, and wanted to do it in tandem with the medal won by Brisbane Lions legend Bernie Quinlan the same year. Round and Quinlan were joint winners of the gong in 1981 - the first time a tie had ever occurred in the Brownlow count. Prior to that, there was a count-back system in place to prevent joint-winners. But the AFL later changed the rules and handed out retrospective Brownlows in a special celebration in 1989. Round's daughter Natalie last year that the family had been in dialogue with Quinlan about putting both medals up for auction. Natalie said her father was immensely proud of his achievement, but would have supported the move. 'We were the lucky ones, we got to share dad's life with him,' Natalie said. 'My brother, my Dad and I were just great friends who enjoyed having a laugh and a great time. I used to say to Dad, 'What will you do with that Brownlow?' and you could just see how much joy he got out of showing it off to people. 'I probably didn't see that until I had possession of it myself. It's not like I do anything with it, so we thought you would like it to go to someone who can enjoy it and share it with others. That's what dad would have wanted.' Natalie said Quinlan was on board with selling both Brownlows, but it's unclear whether that plan will go ahead. Collingwood champion Nathan Buckley put some of his own prized possessions up for auction in 2023, including the Brownlow he won in 2003. He netted around $200,000 for his memorabilia. RELATED: Rival coach reaches out to Michael Voss as pressure mounts on Carlton AFL slammed over mid-season move that could change Brownlow winner Upon hearing the news that Round's Brownlow is set to go under the hammer, fans have called for the AFL or Swans to buy it and put it in the Hall of Fame or club museum. One person wrote: "The AFL should purchase it and any other memorabilia, then display it all in a footy museum or donate it to his club for them to display to the public." Round played a total of 328 games across his VFL/AFL career, including 135 for Footscray and 110 for Williamstown. He was a two-time winner of the Swans' best and fairest award and captained the club between 1980 and 1984. I've never understood why this would be of value to others? Wouldn't it be best if the swan's buy it. Put it in the museum etc — Shane (@shaloz5) July 8, 2025 It's value will be interesting given he won it alongside Bernie quinlan — Daniel O'Brien (@danthomasobrien) July 8, 2025 The afl should purchase it and any other memorabilia , then display it all in a footy museum or donate it to his club for them to display to the public — Trevor lewis (@Thendy74) July 8, 2025

Missing tramline, bike lanes, schools: Delays plague Fishermans Bend development
The timeline for developing Fishermans Bend – a key precinct for building new housing in Melbourne – has blown out by at least five years, as an investigation by the Victorian Office of the Auditor General uncovers major planning delays. The audit has revealed that the state agencies managing development at Australia's largest urban renewal project are not on track more than a decade after the former industrial area was controversially rezoned by then-Liberal planning minister Matthew Guy. 'Agencies are not on track to deliver all projects and outcomes,' the audit found. 'Delivery of the framework has been extended by at least five years to 2055.' The audit found many key planning documents are still in draft or yet to be completed six years after a 2018 masterplan for the area that aims to see 80,000 people living on the 480-hectare peninsula by 2050, and host 80,000 jobs. This includes a mooted tramline and a bridge that would connect the CBD to Fishermans Bend by this year, which still does not have a full approved business case. It was meant to be delivered some time between 2020 and 2025, and the 2021-22 state budget allocated $15 million to progress planning work for the tram. Loading 'The tramline to Fishermans Bend has taken a considerable amount of time to plan, and its level of priority as a key transport project for Fishermans Bend remains unclear,' the audit found. A bike lane connecting the suburb to the CBD, which was supposed to be completed between 2020 and 2025, has been delayed by nine years, taking the expected completion date from 2034 to 2045. Five short-term projects, including building the South Melbourne Primary School and upgrading the route 96 and 109 tram stops, have been delivered. But 14 out of 18 medium-term projects and all 23 long-term projects are outstanding.

Nova radio show Jase & Lauren's 'Hide and Seek' competition is branded 'rigged' after $94,000 cash prize is won by reality TV star
Thousands of Nova listeners were disappointed on Monday when they missed out on winning $250,000 in Jase & Lauren's Hide and Seek competition. Eyebrows were quickly raised when Melbourne Dad Charles was unveiled as the successful seeker of hosts Jason Hawkins and Lauren Phillips, taking home $94,000. Internet sleuths quickly called the game 'rigged' when they uncovered the father-of-two was actually Charles Noonan from season nine of Australian Survivor last year. On Sunday, Charles, 35, discovered Jase and Lauren, along with their radio team, were hiding at 16 Sandilands Street in South Melbourne. The Ormond local said he found the radio duo using only Google Maps and the difficult clues provided by the team on air. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. He spent several days deciphering the clues before discovering where the hosts were concealed and winning a potion of the $250,000 prize. The game began with $250,000 up for grabs, but decreased by $1 per second until the hosts were found, leaving $94,000 for Charles to take home. 'I was like an absolute madman… up all night Googling,' Charles said. However, one Reddit user claimed the competition was 'rigged', saying there was no way Charles found the location based on the cryptic clues provided. 'Was anyone else trying to play Jase and Laurens Hide and Seek for $250,000, and more importantly, was the whole thing rigged?' they began. 'Let's look at the available clues and see if they could actually take anyone to 16 Sandilands Street in South Melbourne. 'Oh, and before we even do that, let's take a moment to look at two fishy details if you want a reason to be suspicious. 'The prize was won by Melbourne Dad Charles, but every news website fails to mention this isn't some random bloke.' 'This is an Australian Survivor contestant Charles Noonan. Red Flag?' they added. The disgruntled fan went on to list every single clue given by Jase and Lauren, explaining why it was impossible for people to use them to find the hiding spot. They took particular exception with the clue 'Is nonna making sushi for dinner?', which was meant to lead listeners to the nearby restaurant Nana's Place. 'There's actually not sushi nearby. If you see this clue, you are looking for somewhere near sushi, and this will make you less likely to go to this address,' they said. The clue 'What do Specsavers and 32 have in common?' was also meant to lead listeners to the building number 16. 'You divide both by 50%… to get Specsavers' current sale and to get 16 from 32,' was the apparent answer. But the Reddit user said: 'Sorry, what? We're told 32 and Specsavers have something in common and it's the number 16? 'That's not how maths works, and surely this isn't the way he found the street number? What even is this one?' One Reddit user has claimed the competition was 'rigged', saying there was no way Charles found the location based on the cryptic clues provided Other listeners flocked to the comments to voice their agreement Other listeners flocked to the comments to voice their agreement. 'Just watched the clip on how Charles finds them and it seems very off, like it was all staged,' one person wrote. 'Yes, clues are very vague and they don't even lead you down one path but several. Rigged,' another said. A third added: 'It certainly does smell like industry folks were flapping their gums.' 'Partner and I spent the better part of the last four days searching. The clues were s***, weakly associated, and no way would have led you to that address,' fumed one. Another disgruntled user has gone so far as to start a petition to 'demand a fair redo' of the competition, saying they 'wasted precious hours' and car 'fuel' on the game.
