Wedding belle for young Hawthorn star Harry Morrison after heartwarming proposal
Young Hawks star Harry Morrison has announced on social media that he is getting married to long-term girlfriend Olivia Higgins.
Morrison proposed to his beau on the beach, the couple pictured sharing a touching embrace after she said yes.
'The Next Chapter,' the couple posted to Instagram.
Hawthorn teammates including Jarman Impey, Massimo D'Ambrosio, Conor Nash, Mabior Chol, Jai Newcombe and captain James Sicily were quick to offer their congratulations.
'Epic,' Jack Ginnivan posted with a heart emoji.
'Magical!' added Lloyd Meek.
New recruit Josh Battle also congratulated the pair, commenting: 'So good. Congratulations.'
Morrison, born in Benalla, Victoria in 1998, began his football journey with the Murray Bushrangers in the TAC Cup.
Despite suffering an ACL injury in 2014, he returned strongly the following year and helped the Benalla Saints secure back-to-back premierships.
In 2016, he was a standout in the TAC Cup Grand Final, which led to Hawthorn selecting him with pick 74 in the national draft.
Morrison made his AFL debut in Round 23, 2017, against the Western Bulldogs.
The following season, he became a regular on Hawthorn's half-back flank, played 21 games, and earned a Rising Star nomination in Round 20 before suffering a broken jaw.
Over the next few years, he developed into a reliable wingman, reaching a career-best average of 19.2 disposals per game in 2022 and securing a contract extension through 2024.
In 2024, he maintained his form with strong performances across 12 games, including finals, which led to another two-year deal keeping him at the club until the end of 2026.
By mid-2025, Morrison had reached 117 AFL games and kicked 28 goals and has become a trusted figure in Hawthorn's evolving lineup.

Victoria Beckham fans race to bag 'free' luxury beauty item this week
The deal is only available while supplies last, so fans keen to add to their collection may want to shop sooner rather than later Victoria Beckham's eponymous beauty brand is treating fans to a luxurious little bonus this week. For a limited period, customers can bag a complimentary Artist Palette with any purchase over £50. The Artist Palette, reportedly a staple on Victoria's dressing table, is a sleek, curved flat surface crafted for blending or applying water-based or cream formulations. Simply add a few drops of makeup or skincare to the palette, then use a brush to mix before applying to the skin. Compact enough to hold in one hand, it's engraved with the Victoria Beckham Beauty logo for a hint of subtle elegance, making it as much of a showcase piece as it is a functional tool, reports OK!. Bear in mind, though, it's only available whilst stocks last. As noted, shoppers will need to spend over £50 to secure the complimentary gift. M&S shoppers praise 'versatile' suede jacket that 'goes with anything' The new ghd curling range provides 'all-day hold' and leaves hair 'shiny and smooth' For those unfamiliar with VB's range, the Concealer Pen (£64) is a favoured starting point. Delivering light-to-medium, radiant coverage, it functions as skincare too, with the brand asserting it can enhance the complexion within four weeks. A clinical trial revealed that 100% of participants agreed the concealer didn't settle into pores or appear cakey after eight hours of wear. One delighted reviewer commented: "My favourite concealer ever. It covers all my imperfections, has a perfect tint, and achieves the exact coverage effect I want. I had the sampler first, which helped me find my perfect match to order." However, a mixed review states: "The actual product may well be good, but the terrible applicator choice and design are horrendous for desiring a timely effort in doing one's makeup for the day or evening." Another popular concealer option is Rodial's Banana Lowlighter (£38), which boasts a solid 4.8-star rating. This delighted shopper commented: "Gorgeous texture and goes on like silk, can't even tell you're wearing it. Lovely match." Alternatively, the Colour Wash Blush Water Tint (£44) is another favoured selection. This watercolour-inspired flush, offered in three shades, seeks to deliver a natural, glowing appearance. Most customers adore it, with one declaring: "This is genius! Long-wearing, not sticky at all, sinks into the skin, and looks stunning. Brilliant formula." Yet, someone else remarked, "Pretty flush, but it took a lot to build up to show up a natural flush on my cheeks." A different blush option is Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush (£24), which is renowned for its weightless sensation and enduring formula. An amazed buyer enthused: "This liquid blush is perfect in every way. It doesn't sit on top of the skin or emphasise texture - melts in seamlessly, leaving a beautiful, radiant finish that looks like it's coming from within." Finally, newcomers to Victoria Beckham's beauty range might fancy the Bronzing Brick (£68), which arrives in a stunning tortoiseshell compact featuring gold accents - a genuinely luxurious treat for any cosmetics collection. The product contains two complementary tones, both enriched with nourishing elements like cocoa butter and moringa oil to deliver a moisturising result. One five-star reviewer gushed: "The two shades appear very natural on my skin tone, providing the right amount of 'tan'. It applies perfectly without feeling cakey. I feel like it sets my makeup well also." Though another customer observed: "It clumps together on my skin." As an alternative, my present favourite bronzer is ICONIC London's Shape and Shade Sculpting Stick (£23). It's perfect for contouring, delivering chiselled definition instantly, and it smooths effortlessly for a radiant, authentic look.

Wednesday stars including Jenna Ortega share MAJOR spoiler for part two of the hit Netflix series at fan event in Sydney
The cast of the Netflix hit series Wednesday dropped a major spoiler for the upcoming part two of the second season, while on a promotional visit to Sydney. Jenna Ortega was joined by her co-star Emma Myers for the event, held on Sydney's Cockatoo Island. Also on hand was Hollywood director Tim Burton, who also serves as executive producer for the cult series. But the heart-stopping moment came when Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a moon backdrop. Gwendoline announced to the shocked crowd that her villain character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, would be back from the dead in the second part of season two. 'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily! I was never gone. You just stopped looking,' Gwendoline told the audience while in character. Meanwhile, Jenna, 22, wowed onlookers in a daring ensemble which featured a hairy black and white overcoat, a matching shirt, and lace-up high boots. Sporting her signature 'Goth' look for the event, held on Cockatoo Island, Jenna wore her long dark locks out in a 'messy' chic style. 'It's such an honour,' Jenna said about the role, which has brought her global attention. 'Oftentimes, you don't get to revisit your character, so to be able to do it with someone like Wednesday. I feel very, very lucky.' During the promotional event, Burton, 66, revealed how closely he identified with the character of Wednesday, who has her origins in The Addams Family cartoons from the 1930s. 'I love the character,' the director of Beetlejuice and Ed Wood said. 'I agree with everything she says, everything she feels about family, school, psychiatry and society, so that's why we're here in this beautiful place. It's something I really identify with.' Also at the launch were Wednesday's creators and showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. Wednesday dropped on Netflix with four episodes on August 6, while part II of the series will premiere on September 3. It comes after Jenna was living up to her Gothic character as she went for a quick wade at Bondi Beach on Wednesday. The star, who flew into Sydney this week, stopped by the iconic seaside location on Wednesday and couldn't resist a dip. Dropping by in between promotional duties for the hit Netflix series, Jenna was clad head-to-toe in black leather - but that didn't stop her from experiencing the ocean. Jenna slipped off her boots but kept on her long, leather trench coat and her sunglasses on as she took advantage of the sunny weather and soaked her feet. The Hollywood actress is Down Under for the opening of a fan festival in Sydney. The first four episodes of Wednesday's second season debuted to critical acclaim at the beginning of the month. The show, a spin-off from hit comic series The Addams Family, made headlines in 2022 after its first season nabbed the number one most popular English-language TV title ever on Netflix, according to Variety. The second season is predicted to achieve similar success after it amassed over 50 million views in its first five days of streaming on the platform. It has been announced that not only will Wednesday be back for a third series, but a spin-off show is currently under discussion, according to Hollywood Reporter.

Aussie tennis player slapped with hefty ban after admitting to doping breach
Thomas Fancutt has become the second Australian player to receive a ban this year after admitting to a breach of the sport's rules against anti-doping. Fellow Aussie Max Purcell, who reached a career high ATP Tour singles ranking of 40 back in 2023, accepted an 18-month suspension after he breached the International Tennis Integrity Agency's (ITIA) doping rules. On Thursday, the ITIA confirmed that Fancutt had accepted a 10-month suspension. He had admitted to a breach of Article 2.2 of the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP) relating to the use of a 'prohibited method'. Purcell had admitted to contravening the same provision back in December before being handed his suspension in April. He received two infusions that were over 500ml back in 2023. His cooperation had resulted in a reduction in his sanction. However, he missed the Australian Open in January after entering a voluntary provisional suspension. Fancutt, meanwhile, had contravened the regulation after he received an intravenous infusion that was deemed to be over the limit permitted by the TADP in December 2025. Under the governing body's rules, players are only allowed to receive a 100ml infusion across a 12-hour period. Fancutt's suspension will expire before the 2026 Australian Open. Following an investigation, the ITIA explained that Fancutt had admitted to the breach, and had informed the governing body that it was not intentional. 'The ITIA sent the player a notice of a potential Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) on 7 March 2025. On 19 March 2025, the player requested to enter into a voluntary provisional suspension, which came into effect immediately,' the ITIA's statement read. 'Following a full investigation by the ITIA, which included evidence gathering and interviews with the player, Fancutt admitted to the breach, and the ITIA accepted that the breach was not intentional. 'In determining sanction, the ITIA considered relevant precedents across all WADC-compliant sports, in addition to the player's early admission and full co-operation.' His time served under the voluntary provisional suspension will be credited back to his ban. During his suspension, the ITIA states that he is banned from playing in, coaching or attending any tennis event authorised by the ATP Tour, WTA Tour or Tennis Australia. In March, the 30-year-old Aussie, who reached a career-high singles ranking of 107, spoke of his 'devastation' following the news. 'At the end of my 2024 season, I unknowingly violated an anti-doping rule by receiving a 500ml IV infusion to combat severe fatigue,' he wrote in an Instagram story earlier this year. 'The contents of the infusion were solely vitamin B, vitamin C and magnesium. 'The IV infusion amount, however, exceeded 100mls which regardless of its contents, is prohibited under anti-doping regulations, something I was completely unaware of at the time.'
