Now imagine do that 42 in a row for the marathon.

I mean, he was flying.

And athletics is in a wonderful place.

And that's just a snapshot.

Probably the most embarrassed I've ever been in my footy life, to be quite honest.

To play like that tonight, you know, and again, there's obviously a few things the off-field staff's doing wrong, and I'm included in that.

So obviously I ain't doing my job as well as I should be.

So to come up with a performance like that, the opposition play really well, but to come up with a performance like that and a lack of effort like that on Anzac Day is embarrassing.

Gerard, how are you?

He's the most intriguing case study in Australian sport right now, Craig Bellamy, because of what he's going through compared to what he normally goes through as a team who he's basically had in the finals for 20 years in a row.

Well, the theory that no one has mentioned that I reckon is theory A and the root cause of it above anything else, Gerard,

is that I reckon they've got a broken heart because they narrowly lost the last two grand finals, and particularly to Brisbane last year, they had that game won, and I just don't think they can climb the mountain again.

We've seen that syndrome in AFL a little bit with Sydney at times.

They got thrashed in a decider.

And other times when teams that have been feathered out of it as cider, but it's just after being so good for so long.

And I know Storm fans will contact and say, well, we got this guy injured, we got that guy injured.

But their ability to rebuild, Gerard, I used to joke with you annually, didn't I, about how

in our pre-season tips when they'd say, team who will fall down the ladder this year, I'd always say the Melbourne Storm because one by one their superstars left, Cameron Smith, Cooper Cronk, Craig Inglis, and yet they just kept rebuilding and turning water into wine.

But suddenly the tap is off.

Suddenly they're playing dreadfully.
