The Headlines ... that weren’t

CHOKE-OVIC LOSES IN FIVE

A normally composed Novak Djokovic lost the Australian Open final on Sunday, with Andy Murray pulling off a stunning comeback winning in five sets.

Murray, who is widely renowned for his lack of mental fortitude, finally put it all together and pushed the demons of finals-past away, over-powering Djokovic around the court.

The doubters that circled the Murray camp have certainly been silenced, and the weight of a nation lifted off of Murray's shoulders.

ST KILDA PLAYERS LAUDED BY DEMETRIOU

At a press conference held yesterday, AFL Boss Andrew Demetriou has praised the St Kilda Football club for going a day without making the Herald Sun front page.

After a summer of St Kilda players acting like ‘Motley Crue’, Demetriou said it was great to see them finally settling down, and embracing a life of sobriety and abstinence.

St Kilda past greats have also gathered in support around the club and have pleaded with fans to open their hearts (and wallets) in a show of solidity.

Ross Lyon and Nick Riewoldt refused to comment on the matter.

LIVERPOOL HAVE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IN SIGHTS

Liverpool fans have gathered at Anfield to show their support of the board and the players, after years and years of heartbreak and anger.

Whilst sitting a mediocre seventh on the table, the transfer of Fernando Torres to Chelsea has given fans hope, and the future is looking much brighter.

Mid-table mediocrity is now a figment of the imagination, and the Champions League is now well and truly in their sights.

The decade of Liverpool silverware has just begun.
