FRUSTRATION with North Melbourne’s rejection of a new life on the Gold Coast has been replaced by community support for a home-grown team in Australia’s largest regional centre, with the AFL confirming its plans for a second club in southeast Queensland by 2011.
Speaking at a season launch on the Gold Coast, AFL commercial operations manager Gillon McLachlan declared the league wanted a Gold Coast team "as soon as possible" and that the AFL commission, at a meeting later this month, would consider a proposal to issue a 17th licence.

HAVING been knocked out of the World Twenty20 by India and on the losing end of their only other 20-over clash, Ricky Ponting says Australia have a score to settle.
Cricket’s shortest form is the only version in which Australia are not the world’s best, and one which, until recently, Ponting admitted they had not taken overly seriously.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) – Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale chalked up the latest outing in a baffling stretch of basketball to a simple case of growing pains.
Nyeshia Stevenson scored 15 points, Courtney Paris extended her double-double streak to 79 games and the 11th-ranked Sooners routed Kansas 67-51 on Wednesday night, but it was a 25 in the turnover column that jumped off the stat sheet.
