How about this for some Football Royalty! Check out Club Legends Graham Cornes, Peter Carey & Neil Kerley in some SANFL "Carpool Karaoke". This clip was one in a series of videos featuring club legends from other SANFL clubs singing (questionably) their theme songs. Brilliant Viewing! Not sure about Cornsey's driving here either...

TIGER'S RIDE TO FIGHT CANCER

Glenelg under-18 footballer Adam Beaumont is riding to the MCG in a tribute to his mum, Sharon, an avid Tigers supporter who passed away last year.

Sharon, who was just 51, had pancreatic cancer. Adam, who has played with Glenelg since the under-13s and was an under-16 premiership player, will ride with three close mates 1000 km via the Great Ocean Road to the MCG in nine days in October. His aim is to raise money for the Pancare Foundation to try to raise awareness of pancreatic cancer, to research early-detection techniques and develop treatments.

You can help Adam made a difference by going to Facebook page Shaz's Ride to Cure. The Go Fund Raise Page is on
