Kosi Pickett delivered a sensational performance to secure an 8-point victory for the Melbourne Demons over the Collingwood Magpies, keeping their unbeaten home run intact. This highly emotional King's Birthday match featured incredible goals from Nick Daicos and debutant Mitch Podhajski, alongside tense moments as Brayden Maynard and Brody Mihocek suffered serious injuries, and Luca Kentfield celebrated a debut goal. Meanwhile, the Geelong Cats prepare to face Ben King and the Gold Coast Suns, with Connor O'Sullivan gearing up for a tough defensive challenge alongside teammate Max Holmes.
Next, we head to track and field, where Australian pole vaulter Kurtis Marschall pulled off one of the greatest upsets in modern athletics history. Competing at the Stockholm Diamond League meet, Marschall defeated the seemingly invincible world-record holder Mondo Duplantis, clearing 5.90 metres to claim an unforgettable maiden victory.
