Brad Scott’s golden handshake revealed in extraordinary $800,000 powerplay

-
North Melbourne is reportedly staring down the barrel of an $800,000 payout to former coach Brad Scott next year if the unemployed mentor doesn’t take up a senior coaching role in 2020.

According to an exclusive report in The Herald Sun, Scott has the Roos at his mercy knowing that he can’t lose even if he misses out on a job for the 2020 season.

Scott’s decision to walk away from the Roos prompted widespread speculation the former Brisbane Lions star had already been in contact with St Kilda over the club’s vacant coaching position for next year following Alan Richardson’s departure.

However, the dramatic bounce-backs from St Kilda, Carlton and the Roos this season since their senior coaches were moved on have left the coaching market in uncertainty.

Scott, however, won’t be losing sleep over his immediate coaching future, AFL 360 co-host Mark Robinson reports, with the Roos to pay out his entire 2020 salary if he doesn’t land a gig for next year.

The 19-year-old was the toast of the 2019 Swimming Australia Awards in Sydney on Sunday night, cleaning up by also claiming Short Course Swimmer of the Year and sharing the Patron Award. Tasmanian-born, Brisbane-based Titmus already had plenty to celebrate in a breakout 2019 after famously dethroning American great Katie Ledecky to claim 400m freestyle gold at this year's world titles in South Korea in July. It marked the first time Ledecky – a 14-time world champion – had been beaten over 400m, 800m or 1500m freestyle at a major international meet since 2012.

With koala numbers in decline, one lobby group has drafted its own protection legislation

-

 Wildlife rescuer Tracey Wilson lets out a familiar refrain whenever she receives a call about a lost or injured koala: "Here we go again".  It is not from a lack of love for the iconic marsupial — Ms Wilson spends countless hours helping injured koalas recuperate from all sorts of injuries and mishaps. She was one of the first people on hand when 21 koalas were found dead and 49 so horribly injured they had to be euthanased after a south-west Victorian timber plantation was cleared in 2020. Many of the koalas that survived that incident recovered at Ms Wilson's wildlife sanctuary in Koroit. Her frustration, she said, stemmed from the fact that the number of calls to help injured koalas was increasing.
