Rival radio stars Andy Lee and Jack Post clash during 2025 AFL Round 13 at Melbourne Cricket Ground
Andy Lee and Jack Post went head-to-head at the 2025 AFL Round 13 match - not on the field, but behind the mic.
The duo, who are rivals when it comes to the footy, exchanged some friendly back and forth banter on Sunday at Melbourne Cricket Ground as they introduced the much-anticipated game.
Aussie comedian Andy, 43, who supports the Carlton Blues, wore a blue v-neck sweater over a white tee and some jeans, paired with a Blues scarf repping his team, and a logo-emblazoned cap.
Media personality Jack, 37, who cheers on Essendon Bombers, opted for an oversized red and black hoodie over a pair of jeans.
'We are actually doing the pre-game,' Andy said in a video posted to Instagram before the showdown.

'It's going to be a little bit like Katy Perry,' he joked.
Despite the Carlton Blues claiming victory, both Andy and Jack wore huge smiles throughout the night as they enjoyed the neck-in-neck game.
Andy was spotted jetting into Melbourne on Saturday after a stint in New York, where Hollywood heavyweight Hugh Jackman weighed in on Andy's new business venture: an Aussie pub in the Big Apple.
Andy opened his Australian-themed pub Old Mates in Manhattan, back in February.
And last Tuesday, the Wolverine star, 56, took to social media to gush over the establishment which is backed by an owner's group that includes Hamish Blake, surfing legend Mick Fanning, as well as Hugh himself.
'Old Mates - how Aussie's eat in NYC. This pub is amazing!' Hugh posted on Instagram.
He also shared a gallery of snaps including one which shows the fan favourite flashing his famous grin and posing in front of the venue with his arm around Andy.
Hugh also shared a photo taken inside the bar with Andy and Australian-born NYC restaurateur Eddy Buckingham, who is also an investor in Old Mates.
A third post shared to Hugh's account showed a stained glass window feature of the bar which spelled out 'New York'.
Located in Downtown Manhattan's Financial District, the pub is in a heritage-listed 1840s Greek Revival building that spans all three floors.
With the staff dressed in iconic, hard-yakka-inspired blue collared shirts and rugby polos, the pub wouldn't look out of place in The Rocks or at the end of Collins Street.
The investors also include Andy Stone (Bluestone Lane), Pat Cummins, Ash Barty, Mick Fanning and Patty Mills.

Nicole Kidman's niece Lucia Hawley posts sweet birthday tribute to partner Henry Poole: 'My favourite boy'
Lucia Hawley has shared a sweet tribute to her long-term boyfriend, Henry Poole. Lucia, 27, and Henry, who have been dating for four years, generally keep their romance relatively private. But the niece of Nicole Kidman took to Instagram on Friday to share a series of photos celebrating her beau. The first showed the couple huddling close and beaming broadly as Henry held a glass of red wine. Lucia showed off her svelte form in a pink off-the shoulder dress, while Henry wore a blue shirt tucked into a pair of beige chinos. The pair looked every inch the loved-up couple as the posed under an archway on a manicured lawn. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Happy birthday to my favourite boy @henrypoole,' Lucia captioned the romantic photo. A second photo showed the couple, backs to camera, walking along a rain slick road with their arms around each other. It appears that the couple were not able to celebrate Henry's birthday together, with Lucia captioning that image: 'Miss u extra today.' A third photo showed the pair enjoying a chat via Facetime. Henry could be seen taking time out from a dip in the ocean to chat to his ladylove. Lucia, meanwhile looked over the moon to be chatting to her beau, captioning the photo: 'never a dull moment.' Lucia recently revealed Henry's reaction to her 'flirty' interview with Elvis star Austin Butler. The 7Bravo reporter became very flustered while interviewing the Hollywood star, 32, at the State Theatre during the Sydney Film Festival in June last year. The interview quickly went viral causing Lucia to share her longtime boyfriend Henry's reaction to the exchange. Taking to her Instagram Stories, she joked that Henry was 'not happy' as she shared a screenshot of the comment he left underneath footage of the friendly interview. Henry hilariously penned: 'Eyes where I can see em @austinbutler,' as he poked fun at the 'flirty' chat. Reposting his comment, Lucia quipped of Henry's response: '@henrypoole_ has weighed in guys... (he's not happy).' Lucia has been dating Henry for more than three years but only spoke publicly about their relationship for the first time last year, sharing their plans to move in together in 2024. Lucia, who has followed her mother Antonia Kidman's footsteps into the world of media, revealed, last month that she's hoping to find work in London. 'I am chasing the artistic pursuit of writing. I have been keeping a journal since I was 10-years-old. I think it's pretty competitive in London in the media space, but I'm going for the experience' she told the Daily Telegraph. 'So hopefully I'll land a job in media over there either writing or in broadcast. 'I've started like cold emailing editors and a few of them have actually responded which is awesome.' Lucia said she is excited to be 'a little closer to my aunty and cousins' which she called 'a real comfort.' Her aunt Nicole, who is based in Nashville, will now be a much shorter flight away than she was when Lucia was based in Australia. Lucia started her TV career after studying Arts at the elite University of Sydney. Following her degree and internship at Vogue Australia, she started working at a production company as an assistant and later applied for a job at 9Honey — Channel Nine's women's network. She eventually landed a role with NBC Universal, who launched 7Bravo in 2022, a role she left last year.

AFL fans react to Geelong's t-shirt stunt ahead of Patrick Dangerfield's 350th career game - as Brisbane Lions flex their premiership muscles
Geelong's bold decision to fill GMHBA Stadium with a sea of white t-shirts ahead of their clash with Brisbane on Friday night backfired after the Lions cruised to a 41-point victory. The away side didn't read the script, kicking four early goals to assume control in what was a statement performance. The triumph also ended the club's long losing run in Geelong. Promoted pre-game as 'a sight to behold' and a 'slice of history' on the Geelong website, the Cats decked out every seat at the venue with white t-shirts. It is a move often seen in US sports, with the Indiana Pacers and OKC Thunder doing so in the NBA Finals. On a night when the club was also celebrating captain Patrick Dangerfield's milestone 350th AFL appearance, the commentators backed the concept. 'They have kitted out the Cattery with the white T-shirts on every seat, inspiration drawn from the NBA and college football in the US,' Gerard Whateley said on Fox Footy. 'It is quite the sight as the local heroes emerge onto the field. 'Patrick Dangerfield said one of his favourite parts of this would be (his children) Winnie, 'Flip' (Felicity) and George joining him to run through the banner. 'All the kids are fully aware of what they're part of, his place in Geelong folklore, which grows tonight, game (what is) a special night.' But numerous footy fans weren't on the same page, taking to X to question the move from the Cats. 'Lol white out is a roaring success so far,' one posted before halftime as Brisbane assumed control. 'I don't think the white out worked,' said another. 'White out turning into a whitewash,' a third weighed in with.

Heartbreak High's Chloé Hayden: ‘I left the op-shop bawling my eyes out'
In a bunker in Sydney's north-west, the Heartbreak High actor Chloé Hayden poses on a white circular plinth. Pink Pony Club by Chappell Roan – one of Hayden's favourite artists – is playing on repeat, and the revolving floor beneath her is surrounded by objects: an old wooden rocking horse, a tattered teddy and a pair of embroidered suede Miu Miu boots. Hayden is filming a video for a new exhibition at the Powerhouse museum, one she has co-curated about textural objects. Every object in the exhibition has been selected by the 27-year-old from the Powerhouse's vast collection. 'All of the objects here represent me in some form – the cows are my favourite,' she says, referring to ornate miniature cattle dating back to the 1870s, made from papier-mache, beeswax and cow hair. 'It's very common for autistic people to build connections with inanimate objects, and these cows are very similar to the toy animals I have at home.' The fragile figurines will be on display in a new exhibition series titled Powerhouse Materials. Hayden is the inaugural guest curator for the series, which showcases a fraction of the items from the 500,000-plus objects in the museum's collection. Hayden was given the theme 'textiles'; later in the year, children's author Andy Griffiths will curate an iteration with the theme 'paper'. Sign up for the fun stuff with our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Hayden spent a month working with the museum to whittle down a long list of objects to 17 items, including a child's Annie Oakley costume from the 1950s and a silk chiffon Barrier Reef dress and accompanying seaweed cape by the fashion designer Linda Jackson. It's Hayden's first time working with an institution on a project of this scale. 'Chloé is an activist and advocate for many things, including her personal style and sensibility,' says Clare Holland, director of program at the Powerhouse. 'Her unique way of engaging with the world has shaped the materials she has chosen.' Hayden, who is nominated for a silver Logie this year for best supporting actress as Heartbreak High's Quinni, frequently shares TikTok videos of her colourful and textural outfits, as well as her experiences with autism, ADHD and chronic illness. Quinni has been a 'huge part of my identity', says Hayden, 'but it's one facet'. 'I feel like I wear many faces. The one I know – that my family, husband and friends know – isn't the face the public knows. This is Chloé,' she says, gesturing to her clothing and the items around her. Since finishing filming the third and final season of Heartbreak High (out later this year), Chloé is reconnecting with her first love, horses, on her farm in regional Victoria. Hayden says horse riding was her 'whole identity' before the Netflix series. 'Now no one even knows that about me.' One of the Powerhouse collection items she has chosen to represent her country lifestyle is a men's Driza-Bone jacket, gifted to the museum in 1994. 'My first Driza-Bone was one my mum wore when she was a little girl … I wear one every winter when I ride my horse.' She competes in an equestrian sport called Extreme Cowboys. 'The best way I can describe it is like an agility course for dogs – but you're on a 500-kilo animal. You have to do the obstacles as fast as you can, as accurately as you can,' she says. Sign up to Saved for Later Catch up on the fun stuff with Guardian Australia's culture and lifestyle rundown of pop culture, trends and tips after newsletter promotion Her mother, Sarah Hayden, who wrote Parenting Different about raising neurodiverse children, runs an equine therapy clinic. In the book, her daughter writes that 'riding with a group of 'cowboys', who … only judged me on how I rode and loved my horse, gave me a time in my week to stop masking and just be Chloé'. Embracing her special interests – animals, horse riding, fashion – come through in the items she has selected, such as a skin-tight green Jordan Gogos outfit made of fabric scraps. 'I think fashion should be fun,' she says. 'We play dress-ups as kids and we forget how to play dress-ups when we grow up.' Today she's wearing an embellished halterneck and miniskirt by Camilla, created in collaboration with Wicked the Musical. Another connecting thread is toys and childhood nostalgia. For the exhibition, Hayden chose a Japanese teddy from 1927, a Mickey Mouse soft toy and a silk-printed teddy bear backpack designed by Akira Isogawa. She says she gets emotionally attached to toy animals. At home, Hayden has accumulated 140 model horses by Breyer and Schleich – a collection only outdone by her teddy bears. 'I have 150 of them,' she says. 'When I was 18 I went to an op-shop and found this mangled teddy bear deer. He was missing an eye and his ear was off, but I had to have him. 'I left the op-shop bawling my eyes out. My mum, knowing what I was like, drove an hour back to the op-shop just so I could pay the lady 50 cents and take this deer home.' She still has the op-shop deer. 'Once they come home with me they never leave, that's why I have 150.' Overall, the Powerhouse exhibition is a way for Hayden's fans to see all her passions together, in material form and not just in a 30-second reel. 'I think there are definitely things that people who don't know me intimately would go, 'That's an interesting choice' but people that know me would go, 'This is the most Chloé exhibit you could ever think of.'' Powerhouse Materials: Textiles is at Powerhouse Castle Hill from 28 June to 9 November
