Footy fans lose it as AFL great turned commentator Dwayne Russell reveals his BIZARRE go-to drink
Footy great turned top commentator Dwayne Russell has left AFL fans baffled by posting a video of his bizarre mid-show drink.
The former Port Adelaide and Geelong star now hosts Dwayne's World and covers games for SEN radio, and shared footage as he prepared a strange milk drink during an ad break during his program on Thursday.
Russell takes a one-litre bottle of low-fat Pura Light Start milk and adds a sachet of Nescafe Blend 43 instant coffee to it, then shakes the mixture and chugs it down.
The clip startled some footy fans when it was posted to X, with one commenting, 'Like watching a little kid at recess.'
'Full bottle of milk is crazy,' another wrote.
'@VictoriaPolice there's a mad man on the loose,' added a third.
Russell, 60, blew fans' minds when he detailed the incredible amount of sugar and caffeine he consumes when he's covering AFL matches
'The man's arteries defy science,' another fan commented.
'Bro is walking a tightrope between sane and bats**t crazy,' another added.
Russell, 60, ups the ante when he gets hungry and thirsty while covering matches.
He has previously revealed he consumes an incredible amount of sugar and caffeine while he's covering matches.
'Every day that I do a game I do a Coke every quarter, so a can of Coke, two Red Bulls, and normally a family block of Caramello [chocolate] just to get me through,' he told Seven's The Front Bar last year.
Asked if he had a favourite variety of milk, Russell confessed he had 'stolen many a milk from the MCG fridge'.
'I stole the last carton at three-quarter time a few weeks before and I thought, I'll bring my own.
'I'm a bit of a milk lover, a connoisseur.
'You can probably tell your different beers, and have a blind taste test of beers.
'You can put four or five milks out front and I could probably tell you where they're from.'
Russell played 71 games for Port in the SANFL from 1981 to 1986, kicking 133 goals, then switched to Geelong from 1987 to 1991, bagging 51 majors in his 50 matches for the Cats.
His career in the media began in Geelong in 1989, and has worked for the Age newspaper as well as Nine, 3AW and Fox Sports.

Wayne Carey opens up about his 'street fight' drama as he and Sam Newman blame 'activists' for barring them from footy event
AFL legend Wayne Carey has opened up about his recent scuffle outside a popular Melbourne pub, as he and Sam Newman lashed out after being blocked from speaking at a fundraising event. Carey, 54, was embroiled in a heated exchange outside the Albert Park Hotel on the night of June 5. The Kangaroos great and an unidentified man appeared to engage in a shouting match with a third man wearing a backpack. Carey was later seen grabbing the backpack-wearing man by the sleeve of his shirt while the other man implored Carey to 'relax'. Carey later said he had been harassed by the man with whom he became entangled. 'Unfortunately, there are antagonists who target you based on your experiences as a has-been footballer,' he said. 'This individual is a serial harasser - and he chose to repeat his behaviour through vile and obscene slurs, again, last night.' On Wednesday, Carey addressed the issue on the 'You Cannot Be Serious' podcast, explaining that the the man involved had since reached out to him. 'I have received an apology,' said Carey. 'This has happened a couple of times, the same person, the same person has since apologised to not only myself, but my partner Jess and other people that he involved that night.' The AFL icon didn't want to go into too much detail about the person involved, but suggested that he was seeking help. 'I'm not going to be a hypocrite and hang him out to dry, what I am going to say is he's put the first step forward, he's sent a message to myself and Jess apologising... and said he's got some stuff to deal with. 'And I appreciate more than ever someone who owns what has happened.' Carey also expressed his frustration at how the incident was reported, saying that it wasn't a 'late-night fracas' as some media reported. The incident comes after Carey and fellow footy great Sam Newman had their invitations to speak at a fundraising event rescinded. The pair were asked to speak at the Barwon Heads Football and Netball Club charity event on June 21 at the Barwon Heads Hotel. However, they were told not to show up, according to The Herald Sun. It is understood that committee members had not been happy with the appearance of the 'You Cannot Be Serious' podcast hosts attending the event. Newman addressed the issue on his podcast saying that he and Carey 'don't give a f**k' about the decision. 'It's the weak, feckless, insipid people who run those clubs who are controlled by some activists,' said Newman. Carey said he was happy with the decision because he had agreed to appear as a favour and he can now spend his time elsewhere. Elsewhere in the podcast, Newman brought up recent comments where he referred to the AFLW as a 'lesbian league', as reported by Daily Mail Australia. 'The Daily Mail, they're so good to us,' said Newman. 'They reprinted the entire conversation we had about the women's football league. 'And I said - throwaway line - "the lesbian league", and they said "disgraceful comment". Newman questioned why it was considered disgraceful, claiming it's just a fact that a lot of lesbians played footy.

Here comes the bride! 'Australia's Most Sexually Active Woman' Annie Knight teases potential wedding dress as she prepares to marry Henry Brayshaw
Annie Knight is working hard to ensure she looks radiant for her upcoming wedding to fiancé Henry Brayshaw. The adult content creator, 28, dubbed 'Australia's Most Sexually Active Woman', shared a photo to social media on Thursday which captured her trying on a gorgeous wedding dress. In the photo, Annie posed wearing a traditional white wedding gown that was shown from the waist down. The gown featured a long train, subtle lace detailing and diamantes emblazoned on the skirt, completing her look with a simple veil. Annie let the photo speak for itself as she did not write anything in the caption. 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. Last month, Annie hosted a lavish $10,000 party to celebrate her engagement. The happy couple, who have been friends for ten years, got engaged in March - just one week after rekindling their relationship. Henry, 27, popped the question over a romantic dinner in Beverly Hills during a trip to LA. The star recently shared intimate details to Daily Mail Australia about their celebration. 'We spent $10,000 on the night including venue, cake, decorations, drinks and accommodation,' Annie said. The event was hosted at the upmarket George on Collins in Melbourne, which specialises in contemporary dishes with an Asian-inspired twist. The sex worker said she and Henry forked out the cash to make sure their guests could drink and eat whatever they pleased while they celebrated the couple's love. It comes after the eye-watering cost of Annie's huge diamond engagement ring was revealed. Sparing no expense, Henry, who is the son of sports commentator James Brayshaw, proposed to Annie with a three-carat diamond, which Daily Mail Australia revealed is worth up to $200,000. The enormous oval cut stone takes up almost the width of Annie's finger and is placed on an elegant gold band. Austen & Blake jewellery expert Tony French exclusively told Daily Mail Australia that 'a natural diamond of this carat could cost anywhere between $140,000-$200,000. Annie said she has already started planning her wedding to Henry, with the couple hoping to tie the knot in late 2026 in Australia. 'I'm a very organised person. I love planning,' she gushed to Daily Mail Australia. Annie also revealed her mother Karyn was the first person she called after Henry popped the question, but after informing her father Simon and her friends, she went straight to OnlyFans to tell her subscribers. The blonde makes millions by selling sexually explicit videos and images to her devout fans on the adult website, and Annie made sure they knew she wouldn't be going anywhere despite the ring on her finger. Earlier this year, Annie made it clear her relationship with Henry won't stop her from bedding hundreds of men before her wedding night. She said her fiancé is completely monogamous and faithful to her and is forbidden from sleeping with other women - but the same rules don't apply to her.
