Ninja'd! I knew I shouldn't have grabbed that extra glass of wine while typing......................................

Not sure - but unlikely to be big enough. An olympics aths track requires about 175 m from end to end. From what I can see, I don't think there is enough space at either end or even in width. (In Europe many soccer fields are completele surrounded by aths tracks, and they are usually wider...

Because they are not interested in the sport - they are interested in the product. They want more eyes on the product - so they need to produce more 'meaningful' games - championships, whatever. They want journos to spout rubbish that is pure click-bait, they want idiotic stats like Champion...

Young kid - first national team. Not sure he's even been to a World Juniors yet. He won the Aus (open) title this year.

Talou is one of my favourite athletes - she always shows up, she always produces. Just hasn't won a Worlds or Olympics gold.

I think you copied my post from the World Indoors.

Did a quick check - I think the Aussie girls in the 4x1 may have broken their National record (the same 4 set it a month ago).

I was actually surprised we entered a womens 4x4, because apart from Beer we had no depth. (Beer won the national champs by nearly 2 secs).

Lost it on the last change - Josh had to slow for one step and that's all it took. But perfect changes are very rare - almost all baton changes are a bit of a 'practice, practice, hope and pray on the day'.

2nd change was a bit ropey, but they all ran well. Talou actually ran past Lewis into 2nd in the last 20m, but was overstriding, lost a bit of balance and Lewis got her with a dip.

Four kicks for goal straight in front, 30-40m out - and we've missed them. Really, really poor basic skill.

'High pressure' 'Intense contest' 'Throwing bodies desperately at the ball'. You know the script......................

Jesus - miss 3 sitters - Martin, Rioli and Grimes.

In all the years the VFL/AFL have had drafts (a few dodgy ones in the 1980s, got serious in 1992), there have been 40 players drafted at No 1. 4 have won premierships. Drew Banfield - (handy player, hardly a match winner. Got 8 touches in 1994 GF, 9 touches in 2006 GF) Luke Hodge - star -...

It wasn't that great, they only beat Geelong ...................................
