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.




Nuts, can't even fathom that.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL Rd 5 2026 Carlton vs Tasmania in Hobart

We seemed to play a pretty small defence in the VFL last night and it did quite well.
Derksen played as much ruck and forward as defence and kicked a couple of goals
Devils had their lowest score of the year.
In fairness, they had no ruck, their KPPs are "only" Cripps size.

In fairness they run and run and run like no VFL team I've seen before. This is the direction AFL is going in, once they start making better decisions and use the pill wisely they'll hurt a lot of opposition.

It just goes to show how valuable the giants really are, if they were so easy to find Tassie would be full of them.

Big Harry can't kick goals anyhow and can't hold a one-grab mark up forward so maybe he should play mainly in the ruck - except at centre ball-ups because he would be bound to get hurt.  At least it would be something different.
Form versus ability is a tough thing to debate, when H was snapping around the corner goals from outside 50m a couple of years back he was the bees knees, now he's struggling.

We shouldn't forget what a confident and in form player is capable of, he's bigger and stronger now, he has lost no pace, and is hardly even perhaps never out marked. We need him with his head on straight and chock full of confidence, any club would.

Freo are 2nd on the ladder.

We are third? Bottom.

Thought they did well but for that 4 mins of the 4th! I was yelling, who the fck is on Bolton! I mean give it a break please, Please shut him down!  Do something to take him out of the contest!

Cripps, Walsh and Cerra and Lord try and do too much and get caught. Can we please stop that?

Overall pretty pleased with that altho i believe we are better than this and need to pull the finger out and get moving.
