Glen Waverley: Agents' bizarre sales tactic is no bull
Two Melbourne real estate agents are going the extra mile to steer buyers towards a house with an out-of-the box listing video showcasing a Spanish matador character battling a bull. BigginScott Glen Waverley director Ming Xu, along with his colleague Eric Liu, are managing the advertising campaign for 2 Callaghan Ave, Glen Waverley, that's for sale with $1.7m-$1.8m price hopes. Taking inspiration from the five-bedroom home's Spanish Mission-style facade, the agents donned matador and bull costumes for the clip. RELATED: Brendan Fevola's huge real estate play pays off Agent's extreme act to sell home with showgirls, Indiana Jones Wayne Carey: AFL great becomes a real estate star to market house with its own pub Dressed as the bull, Ms Xu chases Mr Liu and other colleagues they recruited for the filming through the residence. The matador eventually defeats the bull with a fake sword before everyone involved enjoys a tasty beef dinner at the house. Mr Xu has made other creative listing videos in the past, including one voiced by Hollywood actor Liam Neeson. Earlier this year, Mr Xu had the listing for a Mulgrave house owned by an assistant director's family who know Neeson. They recruited him to star in their home's online advertising clip, a humorous tribute to the Taken film franchise. Mr Xu said it took about two hours to film the Glen Waverley video. 'It's good fun, I think I told Eric, 'I'm going to be the bull', Mr Xu said. 'It did not take much convincing for him to be the matador.' The video's aim was to showcase the house's Mediterranean-inspired build which Mr Xu described as a standout among Glen Waverley's many French Provincial-esque homes. A Bayside-based builder constructed the residence, featuring a formal lounge room, rumpus room, lake views from the upstairs balcony and entertainer's deck, about 19 years ago. The kitchen is fitted with stone benches, an insinkerator, Electrolux oven, DeLonghi gas stove, Miele dishwasher and breakfast bench. A tiled dining area boasts a bay window with plantation shutters, while multiple sets of sliding doors provide access to the garden where there's a lemon tree and magnolia border trees. The main bedroom suite has double-glazed windows, a walk-in wardrobe and dual vanity spa ensuite. Other highlights include a powder room, laundry, solar panels, video intercom and a double garage with internal access. The house falls within the Brentwood Secondary College zone and is close to schools, Monash University, sports facilities, shopping centres and public transport. The house will be auctioned at 3pm on July 5. Sign up to the Herald Sun Weekly Real Estate Update. Click here to get the latest Victorian property market news delivered direct to your inbox.

Don't miss out on the headlines from AFL. Followed categories will be added to My News. Channel 7 AFL presenter Abbey Holmes and her husband Keegan Brooksby have welcomed their first baby together, a son named Braxton. The pair shared the news on Instagram, revealing that the birth did not go exactly according to plan. 'Mummy laboured all day on Friday, only for me to be born via c section at 5:49pm on 6/6 weighing 3.585kg's,' the caption read. 'My head was faaaar too large so we had to change our plans late in the piece!' The couple's well-known friends were quick to offer celebratory messages under the birth announcement. 'Cool dude joining a cool crew,' wrote Australian comedian Dave Hughes. 'Congrats,' wrote radio presenter and AFL great Brendan Fevola. Josh Daicos' partner Annaliese Dalins commented: 'Adorable — congratulations sweetheart xx sending you and your beautiful family lots of love.' Seven News' chief sports presenter Rebecca Maddern posted: 'Oh Abbey I've been waiting for this news! He's just perfect! Enjoy the love bubble - rest up.' Sunrise weatherman Sam Mac added: 'Glorious!!! So happy for you guys.' The Instagram post shows photos of the newborn in a blue onesie and beanie, next to a toy bunny with the words, 'my first bunny.' The post also shows a smiling selfie of the new parents carrying their newborn. The former AFWL star turned Channel 7 announced her pregnancy in January, saying her and her husband Keegan Brooksby were 'on cloud nine'. 'Keegan and I have shared a very busy year, but 2025 is set to be our biggest and best yet. We could not be happier to welcome our first child into the world, later this year,' Holmes told The Herald Sun. Holmes made the discovery she was pregnant after incredibly running the New York Marathon in November, with the news coming as a total surprise. 'We are so excited and grateful to be in this position, as we know how difficult it can be for so many people. We're on cloud nine and can't wait for this next chapter.' 'We discovered that I was pregnant a few weeks after returning home from running the New York Marathon,' Holmes continued. 'As you can imagine, it was a bit of a shock given what I had just put my body through, but I'm in awe of what the human body can do. 'Keegan and I told our families at Christmas, which was a really special time for us all. We wanted to share our news with as many people as possible in person, so we've spent the last few weeks doing that. There were plenty of tears, that's for sure. 'I've been lucky enough to enjoy a beautiful start to my pregnancy, and we're soaking up every moment.' The 33-year-old was an inaugural member of the Adelaide Crows' AFLW team and since hanging up the boots, has been a key part of Seven's AFL and AFLW commentary team. As well as being a beloved commentator, Holmes has also appeared on reality TV shows Survivor and SAS Australia. Her partner, Brooksby, is also a former AFL player. He joined Gold Coast via the 2015 rookie draft and played 14 games in his three seasons at the club. He spent one year at West Coast in 2019, where he didn't manage to make an appearance, before playing one more AFL game at Hawthorn. The couple have been together since 2017 after matching on a dating app. Brooksby popped the question in Uluru in 2020 before the pair tied the knot in 2023.

Retired Geelong great Zach Tuohy flags shock return to Gaelic football: ‘On the cards'
Retired Geelong great Zach Tuohy is contemplating a shock return to top-level action. However, the premiership hero — who hails from Portlaoise in Ireland — is considering returning home and playing the code he grew up on, Gaelic football. Before being recruited by the AFL, Tuohy was a gun junior Gaelic footballer for Portlaoise, and regularly played in under-age Laois county sides. He admits he was a late-bloomer in the sport but some of his heroics as a teenager caught the eye of AFL selectors in the 2000s. In 2009 he was invited to a four-week trial with Carlton and in 2010 he was selected by the Blues in the rookie draft. Appearing on Channel 7's The Front Bar , Tuohy — who retired from the AFL at the end of last year — revealed a return to his country's domestic code was 'on the cards'. Front Bar funnyman Mick Molloy asked Tuohy if he would have been a legend in Gaelic football if he had stayed in Ireland. The witty Tuohy responded with a grin: 'I still am in a lot of ways.' Molloy: 'Did it ever occur to you when you retired that you could go back and play a season or two (in Ireland)?' It was noted that former Irish AFL players Tadhg Kennelly (Sydney) and Marty Clarke (Collingwood) both played Gaelic footy after their AFL days were over. 'I'd love to, and it was the plan,' Tuohy admitted. 'There's a geographical issue; so much of my life here and how I commit to six months (over there) ... 'But for my home team, Portlaoise, I'm still harbouring ambition to go back and play. 'I have to work out some work stuff and see if we can make it happen. But that's on the cards, if I can.' Head here to watch The Front Bar on-demand and free on 7plus Tuohy is without a doubt one of the greatest Irish players to have made the switch to AFL. While the late, great Jim Stynes won a Brownlow Medal, Tuohy has the record for the most AFL games played by a person who wasn't born in Australia. After playing 120 games for Carlton, Tuohy then played another 168 games for Geelong, including the 2022 premiership. He also represented Ireland four times in the International Rules clashes with Australia between 2011-2017. International Rules is a blend of Australian and Gaelic football and was played annually between the two countries between 1998 and 2006. After some heated battles and bad blood between Australia and Irish, it was then played randomly over the next 11 years and the last series was in 2017. But Tuohy believes there should be a discussion to bring it back because the players 'love it'. 'I think there is an appetite from the players (to bring it back) definitely,' Tuohy said. 'And I think the rise of the W opens up a whole new potential to maybe do one in tandem with the men and the women. 'The players love it ... understand, as a spectacle both codes would argue that their own code is better than the combine code and that's been the criticism. 'But what an amazing opportunity to play for your country ... it's the only chance you get (for AFL players).'
