Staff writersPerthNow April 29, 2019 2:23PM Fremantle skipper Nat Fyfe is free to face Adelaide this weekend after Match Review Officer Michael Christian declared he had no case to answer for his bump. Fyfe faced a nervous wait after a hit on Western Bulldogs youngster Ed Richards, which resulted in a free kick for high contact. But the Dockers star didnt even warrant a mention among the cases cited or assessed when the league released its findings this afternoon. Its not too late to sign up for tipping and Pick 7 fantasy!

The news wasnt as good for West Coast defender Tom Cole, who was charged with misconduct for an incident involving young Cat Gryan Miers yesterday. Cole can accept a $1000 fine with a guilty plea. Bulldogs midfielder Tom Liberatore was also fined $2000 for rough conduct after felling Michael Walters following a Dogs goal on Saturday night. The off-the-play bump led to players from both sides getting involved in a skirmish and resulted in a centre-square free kick for Freo.

Facebook page Get Naked Australia is encouraging Aussies to get their gear off and trim their bushes on Saturday to celebrate their bodies. In a post announcing the official date for World Naked Gardening Day 2019, Get Naked Australia organisers said its a day that allows people to get comfortable with their bodies in private. We know there are a lot of people who want to be comfortable with their bodies, the post said. World Naked Gardening Day offers a chance for people to be comfortable within their own homes, yet challenges them by stepping outside into the backyard. It went on to encourage people to share their photos from the day. The post has been shared more than 12,000 times on Facebook, but not everyone is happy about the big event. I could think of nothing worse!! Imagine having to put sunscreen all over, one person wrote. There are some serious OH&S issues here, another wrote. Get Naked Australia defended the international event, saying its a great way to boost body confidence. Part of the problem in society is the perception that nudity is inappropriate and that no one wants to see nudity other than the perfect bodies exposed on the big screen and in magazines, they said in the post. The negative perception is all in our heads. Lets break the stigma and get naked. Who doesnt want to feel good about themselves? If you do decide to get involved, steer clear of the cactus plants. https://www.perthnow.com.au/lifestyle/garden/people-encouraged-to-get-their-hoses-out-for-world-naked-gardening-day-ng-b881181368z 4/25/2019 0 Comments West Coast Eagles suffer midfield blow for Geelong trip with Jack Redden ruled outCrowd boos Pendlebury after medal presentation

On Sunday about 200 people gathered in the principalitys capital Nain about 93km from Geraldton to say a final goodbye to the 93-year-old patriarch. The self-proclaimed prince, who seceded from Australia and formed the micro-nation in 1970, died in February. During the service, friends, relatives, neighbours and supporters shared stories about the man who was no stranger to thumbing his nose at authority. Camera IconRichard Casley and Prince Graeme Casley pause for a moment to remember their father, Prince Leonard Casley, the founder and first sovereign of the Principality of Hutt River.Picture: Francesca Mann/The Geraldton GuardianWhen Prince Leonard was nine he sold wildflowers to cruise ship tourists without a permit, and after serving in World War II he went up against agricultural boards. He became a household name when the family withdrew from the Commonwealth on April 21, 1970, after a dispute with the State Government over wheat production quotas. Prince Leonards youngest son Prince Graeme said his father had touched many lives during his 47-year reign. He welcomed everyone who came here and his eyes always lit up whenever he got a next level question about Hutt River, life, mining, anything, he said. As pictures of Prince Leonard were displayed, Frank Sinatras My Way played in the background a fitting song for the rebel farmer who went up against the State, Federal and British governments. A headstone dedicated to Prince Leonard was unveiled opposite the headstone for his wife Princess Shirley Joy Casley, who died in 2013. Prince Leonards ashes were then scattered around the headstone. Now dad will never have to leave home again, Prince Graeme said. The service was also a chance to celebrate the Principalitys 49th anniversary, with the family planning celebrations for next years golden anniversary. https://www.perthnow.com.au/news/wa/prince-leonard-of-hutt-river-remembered-in-final-goodbye-to-principality-patriach-ng-b881176176z 4/22/2019 0 Comments More bombs found in Sri Lanka after Easter Sunday attack, Australian victims namedLive in Sri Lanka
