After a second, and better, matchwinning BBL effort on Sunday night, Maxwell, 36, was adamant being overlooked for what could have been a final chance to wear his baggy green again hadn’t altered his future. In two Big Bash games since missing out, Maxwell has dragged the Melbourne Stars to victory, first with an unbeaten 58 against the Sydney Sixers, then his one-man effort of 90 off 52 balls to secure his team a derby win over the Renegades.

A “genius” Glenn Maxwell produced a mind-boggling assault to drag the Melbourne Stars away from Derby defeat and closer to an astonishing BBL14 finals berth. The Melbourne Renegades reduced the Stars to 7-75 before Maxwell opted for six or nothing with the tail-end. In similar fashion to his glittering World Cup double century, Maxwell denied singles as he lifted the Stars to 165 with 90 off 52 balls. He launched 10 sixes in an 81-run partnership with Usama Mir who made a five-ball duck.

Brisbane young gun Will Ashcroft says last year’s grand final heartbreak is “absolutely” driving the Lions’ stunning form surge that has many pundits ready to declare last year’s runners-up the new favourites to win this year’s AFL premiership. The return of former No.1 pick Ashcroft from an ACL injury has been crucial in a run of nine-straight wins after the Lions won just two of six games to start the season. Brisbane is now second on the ladder, just half a game behind Sydney.

AFL 2024: Essendon coach Brad Scott calls out poor conversion rate

A post-bye injection of up to five players will give Essendon the best chance to build on the “foundation” his team has set in a surprising push towards finals, but coach Brad Scott says “really poor converting” remains his team’s achilles heel after Sunday’s loss to Carlton. The Bombers lost second place on the ladder, dropping to third, after kicking only nine goals from 60 forward 50 entries, with set-shot misses leading to 16 behinds, while the Blues kicked 15 majors from just 40 entries.

One of them should have seen that,” he said on the Channel 7 coverage.
