Brisbane star Josh Dunkley delivers classy message to beaten Carlton players
Brisbane star Josh Dunkley has delivered a classy message to Carlton players after helping the Lions to a big win on Thursday night. Dunkley racked up 28 possessions (14 contested), 13 tackles and six marks in a brilliant performance that won him the inaugural Robert Walls Medal. Walls, 74, died in May following a battle with cancer. Carlton and Brisbane loom large in his football career. The centre half-forward was a three-time premiership player at Carlton from 1968-72 and also coached the Blues to the '87 premiership. Walls coached Brisbane from 1991-95 and was a pivotal figure in club history, helping turn them around from the 'Bad News Bears' to their first finals appearance. Dunkley was judged best afield and presented the medal by Walls' son Daniel. 'Firstly, I just want to say thank you, it is an absolute honour to win the first one of these,' he told Daniel and the crowd from the podium. Channel 7 commentator Kane Cornes also paid tribute to Walls. 'What a moment that is with Daniel ... No more popular figure than Wallsy in this game. For both clubs and one of the best media performers that I've ever seen. A huge loss to the game,' he said. Dunkley then spoke to Channel 7 and immediately sympathised with the Carlton players, who were left to lament another loss. 'Carlton have been so strong this year and the way they are still backing up after all of the pressure on them,' he said. 'A great night for us, but at the same time I feel for boys because they are trying their absolute hearts out.' Carlton's horror run continued with the 37-point loss as embattled coach Michael Voss desperately seeks to release a pressure valve. The Blues went goalless for a 40-minute period from late in the second quarter and the reigning premiers romped to a 15.13 (103) to 9.12 (66) victory at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night. A fourth straight loss poured more heat on Carlton and Voss in a tough period for the under-fire coach, who was the subject of a death threat last week. The Blues trailed 20-0 after just nine minutes in a poor start headlined by one comical passage of play. A Nick Haynes kick fell in Cam Rayner's lap when target Lachie Cowan collided with umpire Andrew Heffernan, and Rayner set up a Charlie Cameron goal. The inside-50 count at one point was 14-2 in Brisbane's favour before the Blues worked their way into the contest. Marc Pittonet gave them a lift with a 60-metre barrel that sailed through after the quarter-time siren, and the Lions led 5.4 to 3.3. Pittonet was then part of the defence that bizarrely failed to touch a Will Ashcroft shot on the goal line in the second term, but responded by kicking his second major. That and a 50-metre penalty against Zac Bailey, which gifted Patrick Cripps a goal, helped the Blues trim the margin to 12 points. But defender Matt Carroll was twice caught in possession, directly leading to a pair of Brisbane goals, as they widened the gap in the blink of an eye. A 30-point buffer at halftime grew to 52 by the final change as the Blues lost Orazio Fantasia to a hamstring injury and conceded a run of seven consecutive goals. Carlton captain Cripps (26 disposals, nine clearances) and George Hewett (33, nine) battled against the tide, while spearhead Charlie Curnow went goalless for a fourth straight week. Tom De Koning, who is weighing up a huge contract offer from St Kilda, received Bronx cheers from Blues fans and finished with one goal from 14 disposals playing predominantly in attack.

I found 18p Wall's Mini Milk lolly dupe that beats Aldi and Lidl too – and it's MUCH cheaper than the big brand
FINDING a treat for kids that isn't loaded with fat and sugar can be challenging. But the Mini Milk is a firm favourite, especially in hot weather. 7 These classic lollies were first sold in the 1970s and come in vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Not only are they lower in sugar and fat than many ice creams, they provide a healthy helping of calcium too. But a pack of ten will now set you back £2.60 making them quite an addition to the weekly bill. Many supermarkets have manufactured own brand versions, but how do they measure up? Lynsey Hope finds out: Wall's Mini Milk £2.60 for 10, 26p each Per 35ml choc lolly: 30 calories, 0.7g fat, 4.1g sugar Lovely flavour, especially the vanilla. They are lower in fat and sugar than most own brands so a great option for a kids' treat. My only issue is the price - they cost over 10p more per lolly than Aldi's dupes. Lots of them also snapped as I got them out the packet and the kids then didn't want to eat them so not great value for money. There was a good variety of flavours in the box with four chocolate lollies, three strawberry and three vanilla. No artificial colours, no additives, low calories and high in calcium. Taste: 4/5 Value: 3/5 Total: 7/10 Iconic 80s retro sweet RETURNS to UK supermarket shelves after a decade Sainsbury's 8 Assorted Milk Lollies £1.40 for 8, 17.5p each Per 35ml choc lolly: 35 calories, 0.8g fat, 5g sugar Made with whole milk, these lollies were pretty good value. The chocolate in particular was smooth to eat and gone in minutes. Honestly, there was very little difference between these and the Wall's ice creams. The chocolate ones are slightly higher in sugar and fat, and the ice cream had a slightly creamier flavour - but that only made them better. The amazing price and taste meant these were my winner. Taste: 5/5 Value: 5/5 Total: 10/10 Aldi Gianni's Milk Lollies £1.25, 15.6p each Per 35 ml choc lolly: 30 calories, 0.8g fat, 4.4g sugar Aldi's milk lollies cost 10p less each than the Wall's ice creams. Whilst it might not sound like a huge saving, the pennies add up. Taste wise they were on point. The chocolate ones had a lovely rich texture and the strawberry flavour were sweet and moreish. The box was emptied in seconds. Great taste, great value - and only 30 calories a lolly so they are a relatively safe option for kids health wise, too. Taste: 4/5 Value: 5/5 Total: 9/10 Asda Assorted Milk Lollies £1.40 for 8, 17.5p each Per 35ml lolly: 55 calories, 2g fat, 4.8g sugar Asda's lollies hold their own against the big brand. They had a lovely flavour, if a little solid to eat. But they still had a good saving when compared to the branded Walls' lollies. They do have double the fat content of other brands, but they don't contain any artificial flavours, colours or hydrogenated fats. Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Total: 8/10 Little Jude's Milk Lollies £2.95 for 8, 36.8p each Per choc lolly: 27 calories, 0.8g fat, 2.7g sugar These are a much healthier option with 30% less sugar than other brands. They also have added Vitamin D. Cold, refreshing and full of flavour for a hot day. Pricey at nearly 37p each but a great option for the freezer that won't send the kids hyper. This pack were lighter on the strawberry flavour, with only two in the pack, compared to three chocolate and three vanilla so you may need to bear this in mind if they are a favourite. Taste: 4/5 Value: 4/5 Total: 8/10 Lidl Gelatelli Milk Lollies £1.19 for 8. 14.8p each Per 35ml choc lolly: 30 calories, 0.8g fat, 4.7g sugar An amazing price from Lidl, these milk lollies cost less than 15p a pop. They were quite icy when I took them out of the packet and were a little cold and less creamy than the branded lollies. That said, they are a bargain price for struggling families and my little one, Ivy, who is five, still lapped them up. The perfect, budget-friendly treat for a hot day. Taste: 2/5 Value: 5/5 Total: 7/10 How to save money on your supermarket shop THERE are plenty of ways to save on your grocery shop. You can look out for yellow or red stickers on products, which show when they've been reduced. If the food is fresh, you'll have to eat it quickly or freeze it for another time. Making a list should also save you money, as you'll be less likely to make any rash purchases when you get to the supermarket. Going own brand can be one easy way to save hundreds of pounds a year on your food bills too. This means ditching "finest" or "luxury" products and instead going for "own" or value" type of lines. Plenty of supermarkets run wonky veg and fruit schemes where you can get cheap prices if they're misshapen or imperfect. For example, Lidl runs its Waste Not scheme, offering boxes of 5kg of fruit and vegetables for just £1.50. If you're on a low income and a parent, you may be able to get up to £442 a year in Healthy Start vouchers to use at the supermarket too. Plus, many councils offer supermarket vouchers as part of the Household Support Fund.

Jacob Walls Unveils Touch-Responsive Pangolin Seating
London-based designer Jacob Walls has unveiled Pangolin, a seating collection that visibly reacts to human interaction. Made from industrial foam offcuts, the benches are hand-dyed with thermochromic pigments, allowing them to change colour in response to body heat. Much like a mood ring, each seat retains ghostly impressions of where someone has touched or sat — giving the furniture an almost sentient quality. Walls, a recent graduate of Central Saint Martins, took inspiration from early thermochromic fashion experiments, notably Stone Island's Ice Jackets from 1989. He credits these influences alongside his personal interest in vintage streetwear. A Living, Breathing Surface Unlike typical thermochromic applications in flat or textile-based designs, Pangolin pioneers the use of heat-sensitive dyes directly on three-dimensional foam. Walls adapted the pigments by combining them with a flexible binder, ensuring the foam remains soft and crack-free during use. 'Each section was dyed individually,' Walls said, 'allowing for subtle tonal shifts across the surface. I was interested in creating a piece that didn't just occupy space but responded to it.' By exposing foam — a material usually hidden beneath upholstery — Walls shifts focus to what's often overlooked. 'It aligns with the work's intent to uncover unseen relationships between people and objects,' he explained. The process also adds value to factory offcuts, transforming them into sculptural forms that are both sustainable and expressive. A Modular Design Inspired by Nature To unify disparate foam pieces, Walls wove them through a gridded metal frame, creating a bulbous, armour-like form that resembles a pangolin's shell. The seating's modular, bulged construction not only reveals its fragmented origins but also enhances its visual dynamism. Simple wood or metal legs support the design, keeping attention on the reactive surface. Walls' thermochromic seating joins a growing field of design innovation. Fellow designers like Joe Doucet are exploring similar pigments in climate-responsive house paint, while Anrealage presented UV-reactive fashion during Paris Fashion Week 2023. Pangolin represents a tactile fusion of material innovation, emotional design, and environmental consciousness — where every seat tells a story of interaction.
