Australia, welcome to the world of solo dummies.
It's a terrifying world, to be honest. You live in fear every day knowing that it could be you. You could be the one who's sold at any moment and you could be the one to have your ankles broken at any turn but you have to push past this because it's about to get so good.

Essendon finished mightily strong in the AFL on Friday and blew Adelaide Crows out of the water in the fourth quarter to come from behind and win 96-75. At one point, they were 30 points in arrears but finished with 21 to spare - a 51-point swing - to keep them in the hunt for a place in the finals.
Throughout the win, 23-year-old Tyrone native, Conor McKenna, proved influential yet again.
The Eglish club man wasn't on the scoreboard but finished the evening with 24 disposals and took the plaudits of the entire country when he produced the moment of the night and a rare moment for the sport.
Coming down the right flank, the half back saw poor Lachlan Murphy charging in and he set him up devastatingly for a trip to the shops.
Adelaide's Murphy attempts to block McKenna's wound-up right boot only for the oval ball to disappear, back in the clutches of the cheeky Tyrone man, who rounds him and picks out a pass as Murphy is left with a shopping list and shaken ankle.

Tyrone fans are no strangers to a piece of magic like that, the elusive shape of Stephen O'Neill etched in their memories.
And, more recently, the Red Hands have kept up that carry on.
In the league a couple of years ago, Mark Bradley unleashed hell on Colm Boyle.
And Lee Brennan did the same to Mick Fitzsimons with a different method.

They famously talk about that Tyrone cockiness, the self-belief. Conor McKenna is Down Under a few years and he's not only daring to be audacious, he's introducing new skills to the AFL.
