The Wallaroos player buoyed by her dad's legacy
Annabelle Codey hopes years of learning from her former Wallaby dad will pay dividends when she takes the field at the Women's Rugby World Cup. Rather than training on the pitch, practice with her dad, David Codey, involves sitting on the couch and watching sports. David is a one-time Wallabies captain, star of the 1984 Grand Slam tour of Europe and part of the Australian 1987 World Cup squad as well as a former QRU and Rugby Australia president. Annabelle has only watched snippets of her father's relentless and unforgiving style of play as a loose forward. But as she works toward for a World Cup debut in England this month, 28-year-old lock Codey's hoping the endless hours on the couch with her dad, critiquing other rugby players, can help her make a mark. "Dad and I always joke, he's had his time. It's my time," Codey told AAP. "Throughout my childhood, I was either playing sport or watching sport, and that's exactly what our relationship is like now. "When I go home and see mum and dad, it'll annoy mum, but we'll just be glued to the TV watching some form of sport. "He gives me tips and tricks here and there. He's my harshest critic, but my biggest supporter." Annabelle also takes inspiration from her dad's ability to balance work and rugby. David missed the 1986 New Zealand tour due to work commitments. Annabelle juggles being an athlete with her full-time HR role. "I feel like I don't mind being similar because he understands what it's like to balance rugby," she said. "He tends to call me closer to tournaments to give his fatherly advice. "He really is just taking it all in, especially because it's been quite some time since I've been a part of the squad. He's just relishing every moment." Annabelle fought to earn World Cup squad selection after debuting for the Wallaroos in 2022 before missing selection for two years and being overlooked for the Pacific Four series in May. Taking a leap of faith and moving from Brisbane to Sydney to play for the NSW Waratahs was a defining moment, she said. "I just didn't want to reflect on myself as an athlete. I wanted to play a bit of the blame game," she said. "There were definitely moments where I wanted to throw in the towel, but ultimately I'm just really proud that I was resilient." The Wallaroos will play their first group match against Samoa on August 23.

‘People are spinning': Footy legend drops $25 million bombshell
Essendon legend Tim Watson has dropped a bombshell Harley Reid rumour that would explain murmurings of dressing room drama at St Kilda. Watson on Tuesday morning said West Coast figures are under the impression the Saints have made Reid the biggest offer in the history of Australian football. The former No. 1 draft pick's contract saga has been a rollercoaster this season with Hawthorn and Essendon the clubs previously suggested to have been at the front of the queue trying to entice Reid back to Victoria. However, Essendon icon Watson said on SEN Breakfast on Wednesday it is the Saints that have now caused a stir behind the scenes with an offer of $25 million. FOX FOOTY, available on Kayo Sports, is the only place to watch every match of every round in the 2025 Toyota AFL Premiership Season LIVE in 4K, with no ad-breaks during play. New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited-time offer. 'They've also made a Godfather offer to Harley Reid of $25 million over 12 years. That's the number that's coming via the West Coast Eagles at the moment,' Watson, a former Channel 7 news presenter, said on SEN Breakfast. 'I'm not making this up. This is what I was told yesterday. This has absolutely got everybody in the footy world spinning. 'That's the information that I received, that the West Coast Eagles believe that there's been an offer tabled by St Kilda around $25 million over 12 years.' It was reported last month that the Eagles had dived further into the piggy bank to present Reid with multiple contract offers, including one reported to have been worth more than $20 million. Watson said the rumoured plot to snatch Reid away from West Coast partly explains the playing group unrest at the Saints. St Kilda is already fighting to retain superstar Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera and have reportedly already reached an agreement with Tom De Koning from Carlton. News reports broke on Monday night to suggest a group of senior players at St Kilda are not happy with list-management decisions made by football department boss Graeme Allan and recruitment chief Stephen Silvagni. The most damaging news surrounds All-Australian defender Cal Wilkie, with reports claiming he will 'seek his options elsewhere' at the end of this season. The 27-year-old's deal at the Saints runs through 2027, meaning any departure would have to come via trade. The Saints are thought to be offering Carlton ruckman De Koning $1.7 million per year, while they're said to have tabled $1.4 million per season to Wanganeen-Milera to stay at Moorabbin. They've also been strongly linked to and are expected to land out-of-contract GWS defender Leek Aleer on a considerable sum. However, SEN SA's Michelangelo Rucci reported on Monday that Wilkie, Jack Steele, Marcus Windhager and Rowan Marshall could be part of a mass St Kilda exodus at the end of the 2025 campaign. Watson said the reported monster money for Wanganeen-Milera, Reid, Aleer and De Koning would explain why St Kilda players would feel 'disgruntled'. 'When you think about it, if all that money was being paid out to those four players, particularly, you have to wonder what's left,' Watson said. 'What do they have left to be able to pay the rest of their list? If all those (contract offers) landed and maybe they hope they don't all land, then they have the irons in the fire and they have the potential to get some big names and keep NAS (Wanganeen-Milera), then they are serious about re-shaping their list, St Kilda.' SEN's Sam Edmund also said rival clubs believe Wilkie is 'gettable' because he is 'disillusioned' with the Saints. 'He's particularly concerned about the list management workings of his football club,' Edmund said on Seven. The news about Reid is another blow to the Eagles, who were already fighting suggestions that Hawthorn was throwing the kitchen sink to land the star midfielder. Nine's Tom Morris reported last week the Hawks were 'all in' on Reid and Port Adelaide's Zak Butters. Reid's management has reportedly made a counteroffer to West Coast in the vicinity of $24 million over 10 years — a two-year deal until 2027, then a nine-year extension — with the Hawks, Bombers and Cats among the rival clubs most consistently linked to the 20-year-old.

AFL coach blows up at filmmakers in ‘really strong scenes'
The Lions coach was caught off guard when the film crew came to the Gabba. AFL staff have had to step in and watch over Prime Video filmmakers after they 'ruffled feathers' at Brisbane during production for the upcoming documentary. Prime Video are currently going behinds the scenes with several AFL clubs to make a docuseries called Box to Box, not dissimilar to Netflix's famous Drive To Survive franchise that has been a raging success for seven seasons and changed the sport of Formula One forever. WATCH THE VIDEO ABOVE: Brisbane annoyed with Netflix documentary makers. But it appears there was one fairly important person who was left off the email chain before filmmakers turned up to follow Brisbane, with Lions coach Chris Fagan 'absolutely filthy' at how it played out. 'AFL staff themselves have now gone on the road with this production crew because they have ruffled feathers,' Caroline Wilson told The Agenda Setters on Monday night. 'But the really strong scenes took place at the Gabba. They (Prime) turned up the week of the Q-Clash, Chris Fagan was absolutely filthy, said he had no idea that they were coming on board, and had he known, he wouldn't have agreed to it. 'I think he agreed after a conversation with (footy boss) Danny Daly. Perhaps he hadn't really been paying attention, but I don't think he was thrilled. 'But they've left the Gabba now, they won't be back. 'They're at the Gold Coast — I think there was some dissatisfaction too at the Gold Coast, at how many players they wanted to get involved. Certainly Touk Miller's involved there. 'And interestingly, the Melbourne Football Club have become involved in recent days since the sacking of Simon Goodwin.' Stream The Agenda Setters for free, live or on-demand, anytime at 7plus Since the success of Drive To Survive, Netflix and other streaming giants have explored similar ventures with several different sports. This will be Prime Video's second AFL series, having produced one from the 2020 season as well. The Test has been a huge success for cricket on Prime Video. Netflix's Full Swing, which is golf's version of Drive To Survive, has been a major success over its three seasons. Break Point, which was a similar show for tennis, was not received quite as well, and only lasted one series. Others include Tour de France: Unchained (cycling) and Quarterback (American football), which are both on Netflix.
