Saints sound the horns for new cult hero
St Kilda legends Trevor Barker and Nick Riewoldt regularly left fans' mouths gaping with their aerial feats. Supporters flocked to Moorabbin and Docklands to watch them play. But the athletic and courageous icons never had crowds donning viking helmets in their honour or blowing vuvuzela horns every time they flew for a grab. That privilege will instead go to the Saints' latest blonde bombshell - Alix Tauru - as his cult status grows. Of Swedish heritage, Tauru has already been dubbed the "Flying Viking" for his aerial presence and matched a St Kilda record with 14 spoils in the defeat to Fremantle last week. The 18-year-old defender has offered Saints supporters a glimmer of hope for a bright future as Ross Lyon's men attempt to breathe life back into their season against Hawthorn at Marvel Stadium on Saturday night. A group of fans plan to sell viking helmets at the game and sound plastic horns in support of their new hero, while major sponsor RSEA Safety will deck out the cheer squad in viking-themed hard hats. "It's a low bar in AFL footy, isn't it? Fourteen spoils? It used to be 14 goals," Lyon quipped when asked about third-gamer Tauru's status as a fan favourite. "We're excited by Alix. The best thing is he's very level, he understands he's only as good as his next moment at training and in games. "At the end of the day, you come up against another fierce and formidable opponent, and he'll know he's alive. "The challenges keep coming, but it is exciting." St Kilda (5-10) have hit the skids after a positive start to the season, with a horror 2-9 record over the last three months ending their finals hopes early. They will start underdogs against Sam Mitchell's Hawthorn (10-5), who are looking to extend a three-match winning streak and continue their push for a top-two spot. "We're a club that needs to get better. We're off the pack, but we're fighting hard," Lyon said. "We've got a strategy over a period of time that we're pursuing, but in the near time we want to win lots of games of AFL footy. "(We played) three quarters against Collingwood, three quarters against Fremantle, albeit spirited and some good signs. "We're looking to chase four quarters down, so that would be the aim this week." Hawthorn have named key pair James Sicily and James Worpel to return from injuries, offsetting the loss of Josh Weddle and Sam Butler. Former Hawks wingman Brad Hill returns for the Saints alongside Angus Hastie, with Jack Carroll and Tobie Travaglia omitted. Ex-Richmond teammates Dan Butler and Mabior Chol will reach significant milestones on opposing sides. St Kilda forward Butler will play his 150th AFL match, while Hawks tall Chol will line up in his 100th, nine years after his debut.

Gemini Daily Horoscope Today, May 13, 2025: Clear What You've Been Postponing
Today is the day for Geminis to tackle pending tasks and embrace clarity. Addressing neglected chores, conversations, or habits will bring liberation. In relationships, honesty is key, while singles should watch for emotional baggage. Career-wise, decluttering workspaces can unlock mental clarity. Financially, resolving small debts and subscriptions is crucial for a solid foundation. Today is the best time to embrace what you have been putting off doing. Whatever that may be—a slight housecleaning, an old conversation that needs to come back to haunt you, or a habit you wish to change, today is the day to do it! The energy around you gives off signs of closure and clarity. I bet you would feel liberated even by rearranging your room or completing an unavoidable task. The longer you put things off, the heavier they become; the first step must be taken. Gemini Love Horoscope Today There is something one has been avoiding discussing or choosing to keep on one side. This day is made to clear that emotional corner. If you are in any relationship with another person, then this is definitely the day to open up—open up gently and in all honesty. Congratulations on understanding apathy and winning trust in talking things through now. But for any of you who are not in a relationship right now, watch out for any emotional interference or ex-attachment that is stopping you. Gemini Career Horoscope Today Career-wise, it is a good idea to beat the clutter—take a day to an inbox or a desk that is bothering you, letters waiting to be answered at last, a half-finished surface.

Clarity might actually take place inside your heart or mind after you've washed your dishes, put the last invoice in its file, or whatever those pending cases might be. Gemini Money Horoscope Today Financially, these small expenses you have been sweeping under the rug—cancelled subscriptions, tiny debts, and prudent work on your budget—can now no longer sit under the big rug. Boring though this effort might sound, it is necessary if you want to get a sounder money foundation in place, for tomorrow. You may realise that the fortunate giving you money control are indeed in your hands. So, now nothing would shake you if you weighed it with clear rationality. Gemini Health Horoscope Today Healthwise, that ignorance of the aftershocks that come with bodily signals may have slowly angered it by producing little things such as tiredness, poor digestion, or fits of mood. Today is a good day to cleanse your food habits, change your sleeping patterns, and just finally get off digital strain. It can't compare to the good that a change in any manner could bring you. Too much of the time, everyone goes on vacation trying hard to get away from life and look for a change.

AFL concedes to Ross Lyon as Alix Tauru ban changed under ‘exceptional circumstances'
The AFL has conceded to Ross Lyon after the St Kilda coach branded the VFL tribunal a 'broken system' following a lengthy suspension handed to draftee Alix Tauru. Tauru was given a four-week ban at the VFL tribunal for rough conduct and it was upheld after the Saints appealed. But with byes at the start and end of Tauru's four-week sanction, the 18-year-old was set to be ineligible to play football for six weeks. Lyon compared the penalty for St Kilda's first round draft pick to that of Richmond's Noah Balta, who was suspended for four matches as a result of the off-field incident that led to him being charged with assault. 'We're incredibly disappointed, I am really frustrated, it's a broken system,' Lyon said on Wednesday. 'If you think the penalty is four weeks, that's OK, but they know we've got a bye and then at the end of that there's another bye. 'How the tribunal doesn't take into consideration that it's six weeks; Noah Balta got four weeks' stand-down for an assault off the field, with respect. 'We've got a kid that concussed a player, it's a six-week penalty, there's just no consideration — as Paul Roos would say: 'common sense is commonly uncommon'.' In a win for St Kilda, common sense has eventually prevailed and Tauru will be available to return sooner. AFL football boss Laura Kane approved a change to Tauru's ban under exceptional circumstances, 7NEWS Melbourne's Mitch Cleary revealed on Thursday night. The suspension can now start this weekend with Sandringham's practice match against a Tasmanian representative team. Tauru will now be available in Round 12 of the AFL season and Round 10 of the VFL campaign. St Kilda are in the midst of a debate about their VFL future with an increasingly likelihood of a split from Sandringham. In the same press conference where he teed off about Taura's ban, Lyon said AFL clubs would be better off running their own breakaway competition than fielding teams in the VFL. 'No wonder AFL clubs talk about, 'Let's have a breakaway group from a 22-team competition and just have four or five clubs that play each other',' he said. 'It's not worth the risk and there's no recompense or consideration or adjustment for the reality of a misaligned fixture of a feeder competition to the AFL, so I am absolutely filthy. 'What I would like is for common sense to prevail here for a young player. 'We talk about mental health ... the kid has been suspended for four and he'll miss six, how do you reckon his mental health is going at the minute? And mine.' Mixed-team practice matches were commonplace during COVID when teams were based in hubs.
