Australian Athletes on Twitter

This will be the permanent page for the Twitter list database.

With Twitter recently launching its lists feature, which allows you to easily organise and follow profiles, here are some examples from major sports for Aussie Twitter lists. To create a twitter list for yourself, click on the profile you want to follow, hover over the ‘lists’ button and then click ‘add new’ and name your list.

Please check out my lists for all AFL Players on Twitter, AFL Teams, NRL Teams and NRL Players on Twitter.

But just a warning to athletes out there if any social media policy is introduced take note, otherwise you may get fined.

If I have missed anyone please contact me on Twitter or email.

  1. Nice work with the Twitter listings. Perhaps you could also devote some time to developing a sports stadium list?

    The MCG is on twitter – twitter.com/MCG_News and there are bound to be others?

    Keep up the good work!

    • Thanks for the feedback Shane. I’ve added in a stadiums section, but I’ve looked around the net for twitter accounts for SCG/SFS/Gabba/Adelaide Oval and the WACA but can’t find anything. If you can find em, leave them here and I’ll add them in for sure.

  2. Top aggregation of information here – valuable collection of contacts that is no doubt handy for many people (especially for sport celeb stalking!). Thanks Anthony!

  3. Hi Anthony.

    Great listing & very comprehensive.

    Would like to add some suggestions for you, names & sports only, you can find the Twitter handles:

    Brett Hodgson (rugby league)
    Pat Richards (rugby league)
    Sam Burgess (rugby league)
    Rocky Trimarchi (rugby league)
    Matt Abood (swimming)
    Robert Hurley (swimming)
    Allison Shreeve (windsurfing)
    Cameron Pilley (squash)
    Rachael Grinham (squash)
    Ryan Cuskelly (squash)
    Casey Dellacqua (tennis)
    Greg Bird (rugby league)
    Andy Raymond (Fox Sports commentator)
    Danny Weidler (Channel 9 league reporter)

    I also think the Beau Ryan account may be fake.

    Hope this helps. Will keep a lookout for any stadium accounts & let you know.

    Cheers,

  5. What's happening with the Spring Racing Carnival 2010, Anthony?

    (And what do you think about animals having their own Twitter pages?)
