Fremantle chief Simon Garlick rages over Melbourne comments on Luke Jackson
Fremantle chief executive Simon Garlick has taken a swipe at Melbourne's leaders over public comments that fuelled AFL trade speculation around star ruckman Luke Jackson. Demons coach Simon Goodwin last month signalled his strong interest in luring 2021 premiership player Jackson back to the club. Goodwin said 'we'd certainly be interested' if Jackson, who is contracted to the Dockers until the end of 2029, became available. Dees captain Max Gawn also hinted at Jackson's possible return in a radio interview, but later apologised for his comments, which he said were intended as a joke. The speculation around Jackson — whose partner, former Australian netball star Kelsey Brown, is from Victoria — has come amid rumours around Melbourne star Kysaiah Pickett's possible interest in joining Fremantle. However, Pickett is now set to stay put, with the Demons tabling a monster nine-year deal. Garlick on Wednesday dismissed the suggestion of a Pickett-Jackson trade and hit back at Melbourne. 'To borrow an infamous line from Will Smith, I think Melbourne should take our players' names out of their mouths,' Garlick said on SEN radio. 'It's interesting. Hearing the captain and coach speak specifically on Luke was really disappointing. 'It's not a practice that we engage in, but that's their prerogative.' Jackson has starred for Fremantle this season, splitting his time in the ruck, midfield and forward-line. 'He's in phenomenal form,' Garlick said. 'He's an unbelievable character around the footy club in terms of his enthusiasm, his infectious nature, he's a great teammate and we just love having him being a part of the club. 'He's clearly signed for a long period of time, he loves the footy club, and you can see that in both his actions and his words. 'It (letting Jackson go) is not even a consideration for us ... he's a cornerstone of our club for a long time to come.' In March, Jackson said he 'definitely will' be a Fremantle player long-term and ruled out a move back to Victoria when asked directly about the prospect by reporters. Garlick also brushed off trade rumours around 21-year-old midfielder Neil Erasmus, who is out of contract. 'We see him again as a really important part of the midfield,' Garlick said. Meanwhile, Fremantle youngsters Isaiah Dudley and Aiden Riddle have both signed one-year contract extensions to remain on the club's rookie list until the end of next season. Exciting small forward Dudley has kicked eight goals in nine games this season, including two as the starting substitute, while ruck-forward Riddle is yet to debut.

F1 Academy driver Joanne Ciconte blazing a trail for Australian girls in motor racing
At just 16 years of age, Joanne Ciconte is living life in the fast lane. The Melbourne-born teenager spends a significant portion of her life on planes, travelling around the world in pursuit of speed. Ciconte is the youngest driver in this year's F1 Academy, mixing it with some of the world's most talented female racers. She joins Aiva Anagnostiadis as the first Australians to contest the all-female series, who will this year compete across three continents over seven race weekends. A junior karting star who won the prestigious Pink Plate in 2023, Ciconte is in just her second year of single-seater motor racing. Now she wrestles a car with a top speed of 240 kilometres per hour, which from a standing start reaches 100kph in 3.6 seconds. "I think that this year has been a bit of a rollercoaster in the F1 Academy series," Ciconte told ABC Sport. "Jumping into the field of many mixed-experience drivers and older girls is something different. I'm always used to driving against boys." The series is in Montreal this weekend for the fourth weekend of the season. The Aussie teen has had a troubled year so far on the track, plagued by incidents often out of her control. But she does have a top 10 finish, which earned her two championship points, becoming the first Australian to achieve that feat in F1 Academy. "I think my attitude this year has [been to] make sure to try and progress and learn as quick as I can," a positive Ciconte said ahead of this weekend. "I believe the results will come from there." The profile of the F1 Academy has grown year-on-year, with each round of this year's series being part of a Formula 1 weekend. A new series on the entertainment streaming platform Netflix has recently been released. The program, F1: The Academy, aims to attract new audiences, similar to what the popular program 'Drive to Survive' did for F1. "What I'm most amazed about is how F1 Academy, and Susie Wolff (F1 Academy managing director), is doing such an amazing job bringing a spotlight on us female drivers," Ciconte said. "I think it's great to see how more and more followers and supporters for the series has grown over the years." As more eyes tune in to watch the women of the F1 Academy battle on track, the spotlight on each driver shines brighter. For Ciconte, the growing spotlight has allowed her to become a role model for young girls in Australia starting in motorsport — something she is embracing as she continues her own journey. "It's definitely part of the experience that I'm building in," she said. "I do get reminders that there are a lot of younger generation girls who want to be in motorsport and aspire to be in the position that I am."

British actor Jim Sturgess joins Teresa Palmer at the Australian premiere of new Aussie series Mix Tape
British actor Jim Sturgess added some international star power last night at the Australian premiere of the new Aussie series Mix Tape. The 47-year-old – who has gained fame on hit films such as 21 with Kate Bosworth, One Day with Anne Hathaway, and The Other Boleyn Girl with Scarlett Johansson – walked the black carpet at Sydney's Oxford Art Factory to promote the new BINGE Original Series, which premieres tonight on the streamer. In this series, his leading lady is played by Aussie actress Teresa Palmer, who, while heavily pregnant with her fifth child, accompanied the actor to the event. Sturgess and Palmer, 39, play former 80s high-school sweethearts Daniel and Alison who are now living in Sydney and Sheffield, respectively, but reconnect in the modern world through songs from their shared past. The pair's romance ended abruptly when they were kids, so when a chance encounter brings them back together after 20 years, they are forced to confront their past. Stream Mix Tape from June 12 on BINGE, available on Hubbl. The series is already generating buzz overseas. Back in January, it was selected to premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film and Television Festival in Austin, Texas, where it won the coveted TV Spotlight Audience Award. It is a story about love and loss, family and friendship, and the power of music – and this resonated strongly with viewers at the festival. 'To have had Mix Tape even selected to premiere at South by Southwest was massive,' Palmer previously told 'I was hearing rumours of it, maybe this was happening. Then when we found out that we got into South by Southwest – that was just a huge accomplishment.' 'And then to find out we won the Audience Award, which is the award that you want because we know that it resonates with an audience, it's huge. It's truly exciting.' Also in attendance at the premiere were co-stars Ben Lawson, Julia Savage, Jacqueline McKenzie, Chika Ikogwe and British actor Rory Walton-Smith, who plays the younger version of Daniel. Bridgerton star Florence Hunt, who did not attend the event, plays the younger version of Palmer's character Alison. caught up with Savage on the Sydney set last year and she couldn't contain her excitement about the 4-part miniseries, directed by Australian filmmaker Lucy Gaffy. 'I'm so privileged and so lucky and grateful to be part of it because I think Aussies have some cool stuff going on,' 18-year-old Savage – who was nominated for Best Lead Actress at the 2022 AACTAs for her stellar performance in the psychological drama Blaze – told us. 'We make great project and it's really cool to be being part of these other great projects in Australia and be able to really show how our film industry works and what we can do when we are given the chance.'
