00:00 Well it's Monday, debrief time for the Illawarra Mercury Sports Department, a huge weekend
00:04 of action.
00:05 Great to see all the footy codes starting to get the ball rolling as we head into winter.
00:10 Agron Latifi, there was a lot to like about the weekend, but what's that got for me?
00:14 Michelle Hayman, are we seeing a fresh fairy tale heading towards the Olympics?
00:17 I'm hoping so, and I think so.
00:18 I mean, that was a highlight for me, seeing her come on, seeing her score a goal.
00:24 And she did really well.
00:25 I mean, Sam Kerr's missing, we need her.
00:27 And how good was it to see two other Illawarra products score a goal in, Caitlin Ford and
00:31 Mary Fowler?
00:32 Yeah, indeed.
00:33 Wollongong 3, Uzbekistan 0, a banner from heaven.
00:36 If Michelle Hayman can get along on that fairy tale, we'll have a lot of fun riding it.
00:40 The other thing caught my eye definitely was the Dragons, the Bully Boy Dragons.
00:44 They came out there against the Tigers in Mudgie.
00:45 Now it was just the Tigers, who many think are going to have their struggles this year,
00:49 but what stuck out for me, Gronny, was the physicality, the intent, Ben Hunt laughing
00:54 and smiling.
00:55 Whatever way you look at it, it is only a trial, but I like to like hitting into round
00:59 one.
01:00 For sure.
01:01 You can only beat who's in front of you.
01:02 I mean, they're looking much better than they were this time last year.
01:06 Shane Flanagan's got them believing, and I think that they're in for a good season.
01:11 Yeah, that shades of the Cronulla era fighting over a bone, so if they can play that way
01:15 for the rest of the year, it'll be good to see.
01:18 Everything else making news on Monday morning, the Steelers, Day of Steel, they go 2 of 2.
01:21 Steve Ball, Tasha Gayle sitting top of the ladder, Kyma Sevens, Bert Bampton Cup, it's
01:26 all there at the Illawarra Mercury Sport website.
01:29 Get over and check it out.
01:30 We'll see you this weekend.
01:32 Definitely.
