Sub Two Hour Marathon.

Kenya's Sebastian Sawe stunned spectators to become the first marathon runner ever to officially log a sub-two hour finish at 01:59:30.

Ethiopia’s Tigst Assefa also broke her own world record in a women’s-only race, winning in 2:15:41, nine seconds lower than her previous mark.

From what i can see, Wilson didn't have to do a lot of defending, so we'll see how that goes in the 1's.

I'm also a bit unsure about Wilson's 'defending' side.
He's a bit like Saad in that respect.
He's an 'attacking' defender.
But he doesn't make a lot of tackles, and a couple of times last night he failed to stick ones he probably should have made.
On the other hand he doesn't shirk the contest...so that may be a watch if he's given a senior opportunity.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 8 2026 Pre Game Predictions Carlton vs St. Kilda at Marvel
I'm going a bit more radical.... :D

McKay to CHB
Derksen CHF
Moir to the midfield.

Jagga, Byrne and Dean to the VFL to get the winning feeling.
Lord can join them for bonding as a young group.

Hewett back for Cerra
F Young for Evans
Wilson, Charleson in for Cowan, Cottrell (I told you he needed another week or two)

Chesser in for Carroll (This boy needs to be kept away from the rest of the side for his own sake and development. :D )

And I'm only half joking with some of these. ;)  :D

BTW I suspect we might see the record for most booed in a single game go next week.
If not on the field, when they flash to a shot of SOS in the crowd.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 7 2026 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Fremantle
We're off to Perth after the week from hell.
Bashed from multiple sides.
We won't have McKay, Pittonet and it's probably best we leave Ollie out too.
We're third last
We're going to play the second placed side on their home ground.
We'll suffer the usual five to ten minute lapse when they'll pile on some goals.
What's the margin???

We were always held comfortably at bay, but what didn't happen was the feared blowout.
In fact it hasn't happened all year, except perhaps the Swans game.
The team are going 'missing in action' for periods, but are never really being thrashed by a big margin.

I understand for some that's not good enough.
And long term it will have ramifications for coach, list manager and some players.
But while we can keep the margins manageable it gives us some hope things can turn around.
A win or two would be nice.

Lods will be looking forward to his boy Billy running out vs the Saints perhaps...

I’d like to see him get a game. I do rate him.
Just a few things to keep in mind. A lot of his possessions are of the “give, get straight back” nature which tends to inflate his possession numbers.

He seems to have a pretty good understanding with Boyd and if we add in Charleson, they are getting a lot of games together (stability is another key we could take to the seniors).

When he was promoted last year he took probably three games to look really comfortable and get the pace of the game. He’ll know what to expect this time. But if he’s promoted hopefully it’s not a 'straight out' if he doesn’t have a great game first up.

Thirty-One when next year starts.
I think he's worth more to us than we'd get for him in a trade.
Having said that, another club may pick him up and he'll win their B+F. ::)  ::)

I think he would fit well into another midfield that need a contested bull type but have the other pieces ie The Crows.
Jack Steele has become that player at Melbourne...

Hewett for Thilthorpe ;)

Win/Win :D  :D
