Don’t think it’s that uncommon for new draftees to win or be on the podium at their new AFL clubs . I think Brando may have or gone very close .
great form guide those time trials , ahh the great days of Hyde and White
they must be rapt The Tan is in the olden days?
4km?
pre-season in Ballarat was always a time trial 6km around Lake Wendouree.
I used to stash my pushy in the rushes the night before, at around the 800m mark
I was found out one year, when I
eye of the tiger came on the Walkman at the 4km mark and I accidentally beat Steve Monaghettis lake record (16mins 10 secs)
that's 5.37 2km pace, for 6 km!
I was completely rooted, standing up in the stirrups in 5th gear (it was a Gove 5 speed), thighs burning, chucked it under the jetty on the home bend, and I just pipped him.
