Walker’s Gather Round plea

Taylor Walker has weighed in on Gather Round as it returns to SA for a fourth year.

Adelaide forward Taylor Walker has made a plea to the AFL to continue hosting Gather Round in South Australia.

This season’s Gather Round was officially launched on Wednesday, marking the final year of the current hosting agreement of all nine games being played in SA.

Speaking at the launch at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital alongside Carlton’s Harry McKay, Walker said Gather Round had been a huge success and South Australia should retain it.

“We are pretty chuffed that we’ve been able to have it for four years, and hopefully we can get a deal done for a long period of time,” Walker said.

Ahead of South Australia's last confirmed year of AFL Gather Round, Premier Peter Malinauskas says he is trying to secure the event's long-term future in the state.

The AFL chief executive has not put a timeline on when negotiations will be finalised.

Gather Round is being held from April 9 to 12 across three venues, including one in the Barossa Valley.

South Australia's premier is continuing to push for a long-term contract to host future Gather Rounds, but has hosed down the likelihood of an announcement being made this weekend.

The chance to see ARIA award winning artist Tones and I play a gig in Wollongong was too good to pass up, so Angie Pinney made her love for the singer public.

Earlier this month the Dance Monkey singer put out a call to her 600,000 fans on Facebook – make the most noise and she would play a one-off show in their town.

It didn't matter if the town was big or small, she would do it and tickets would be far cheaper than her usual concert series.

Plea to help Australian mother Samantha Baillie, injured in Bali accident which left one dead

Friends and family have rallied to support an Australian mother suffering life-threatening injuries after an accident in Bali raising more than $50,000 in a day for her medical bills.

Samantha Baillie was on her first overseas trip when she was injured on December 27.

While details of the accident have not been disclosed, a fundraiser set up by a friend said she was in a critical condition, and another Australian she was with at the time had died.

The fundraiser was set up on behalf of the Baillie family by friend Savannah-Leigh Homer, who said both she and Samantha’s mother had flown to Bali to be by her hospital bedside.

Regional Queensland news presenter ROB BROUGH farewelled by 7 NEWS

The on-air acknowledgement aired at the end of the night’s news, where current presenter Nathan Spurling addressed viewers before a short montage of clips from Brough’s time with the network was shown.

Spurling thanked Brough for his commitment and contribution to Seven Queensland, marking the end of a lengthy tenure with the broadcaster.

“Rob’s been a familiar and trusted voice across Seven Queensland, and above all, our thoughts are with him and his family,” Spurling said.

The farewell comes after Brough was last seen presenting the bulletin around 15 months ago, having been on extended personal leave from his regular role across Seven’s regional Queensland bulletins, including the Sunshine Coast, Wide Bay, Central Queensland and Cairns.

Breaking: Seven farewells Rob Brough

TV Blackbox reports that longtime 7News Queensland regional newsreader Rob Brough has been officially farewelled by the network.

Brough, who emerged from regional radio and appeared on the ABC and Nine in Brisbane before joining Seven, hosted Family Feud in the very late 1980s and early 1990s.

He was sacked from the game show without explanation and replaced by John Deeks. Years later, he told an interviewer: “They called me into Seven, nobody knew what was going on. Then management just said ‘we’re going to make a change’, and they didn’t tell me who was going to do it (host the show).”
