“It’s a funny one,” he told the ABC. “I win gold in Rio and come back a national hero and everyone wants a bar of you. The appearances and things I was doing were out of this world and things I couldn’t have even dreamed of. And then you win silver and it’s such a massive achievement — I was half-a-second faster than I was in Rio, I swam a PB but was touched out by 0.06 of a second. It’s just funny the change in how much Australia celebrates gold compared to how much they celebrate silver.
Instead of the abyss, suddenly all was good with the world – and all because the bloody thing went through. Yes, yes, yes . . . we all know that sport can be a wondrous lover, keeping you warm on cold nights, thrilling you to the very cockles of your soul, and romancing you on lazy summer days.But it can also be a brutal black mongrel dog, a hell-hound south-bound bitch from the bowels of the earth, sent without mercy to savage the first poor bastard she comes across.Ideally, the Wallabies can now form an extended relationship with her. But don’t get me started. I can go on a bit.
Great teams nurture that hardcore and keep them intact. Of all the things that ail the Tigers, that is the worst. Letting Marshall, Woods and Farah go was as insane as the Bulldogs letting James Graham and Josh Reynolds go a few seasons back – right at the time, not coincidentally, they started blowing smoke from their port and starboard engines as they lost altitude. And yes, every bit as insane as Souths letting Adam Reynolds go at the end of this season.They clearly didn’t.
Gracias, they said.

Cricket's brave invitation to PC rage machinePiers Morgan has led the outrage against an important yet polarising change to cricket's laws made by the ICC. 9WWOS Just leave it alone and move on. What a surprise that this spanker is outraged. It’s a total non-issue for most people, who’ll continue to enjoy the game as they always have. Now it might just seem a little more inclusive for females. Oh the humanity !! In baseball and softball, it's 'batter'.
