Fair play to BBC correspondent in Paris - Hugh Schofield - for checking out the water quality in the Seine (and without a wetsuit).🇫🇷

what I don’t get about the Tarryn Thomas convo is that he’s extremely replaceable as a footballer? There shouldn’t be this insatiable urge to get him on your list as if he’s won three Brownlows. Plenty of other footy players out there, recruit someone else.

My colleague Paul Dowsley spotted this car driving without a wheel and gave chase. Sparks from the driver’s rim had allegedly caused spot fires in the area. When the man ditched the car and fled -Paul ran after him - alerting a local who stopped him. Superb work @paul_dowsley
Victoria's fire fighters are racing to be ready to face a deepening crisis in the state's west. Local communities are on high alert, leading to a citizen's arrest after a trail of spot fires, blamed on a driver running on a rim. 7NEWS.com.au @paul_dowsley #7NEWS

Supreme Court users in Darwin should be mindful that a Bush Stone-Curlew has laid an egg near the entrance of the court. Mother curlews can be pretty protective of their eggs so keep a look out for it.

A sad but fond farewell to @Mad_Morris, who’s leaving News Breakfast (and the ABC) on Friday. Madeleine has been a key part of our team for many years, both as a superb finance presenter, and as co-anchor (where she has always had my measure 😁). Go well, Madeleine!

Rarely mentioned part of grand final ticket allocation is that all 18 clubs get tickets which they legally flog as corporate packages.

Loved this extremely wholesome interaction between a creative young fan and @masonsixtencox today. "How old are you? Are you 100?" he asks Mason. "100 years old? Nah, I'm not Scott Pendlebury's age." Mason replies.

Love this little clip moments after JD’s 1:43.99 @pbol800 rushes over to congratulate training partner and best friend @j0sephdeng on breaking his own National Record by 0.01! Then runs off to the start of his 1500 and drops a 3:34.52 pb Project #sub143 is underway #teamwork – at Lyon, France
