9.89w  for Rohan Browning in Austria this morning.
3rd Aussie athlete in history to break 9.9w
It was blowing a gale-wind 4.7+ but he took the win.

But just to put it in perspective....
Browning ran the B Final.
Shortly after Lamont Marcel Jacobs the 2020 Olympic champion ran 9.67 in the A final and ran the third fastest time in history behind two of Bolt's times.

Yep, TC. In terms of effort, endeavour and spirit Deano and The Derk would give their all... but... the physical size of Lynch would be too big an ask. But if Young comes in, who goes out? Maybe Iso is given a rest, and The Derk goes forward? Be interesting to see what the MC does with this conundrum.
If we win clearances and keep the ball moving forward with some efficiency it will / should take care of itself.

This week won't be easy at all, fans thinking that Nthmond are lowly will be surprised by the pace they have around the footy, and that pace basically matches up well with our current game style.

Lynch? Dean is undersized physically, Derk is undersized height wise. There's a tall backman with good size who has been performing well in the twos. Is he our break glass in a case like this???

Thank goodness that circus is over! Where was the 'gracious in defeat'? Where were the words of encouragement to a 20 yo who idolised you? Where was the 'courage' to answer questions after a defeat (it's always been very easy after a win!!)? Where was the acknowledgement that you were actually defeated by a better player? The attitude hasn't changed over 28 years of Grand Slam tennis.....why should it change now?? (Give me Rafa any day!!)

This game worries me - we have really played crap against Richmond lately and they would love nothing more than to stop our winning streak.

But - i think we have it in the bag, and easily. We have some tough players now, including the new young ones and recruits who were not in form in out first game.

I think we win by 10 goals.
