Yeah, but the fossils who do hang in are frustratingly good.

They were frustratingly good in their 30s too. The pecking order doesn't change much.

So I have nothing to look forward to then. Either I'll fall apart or else I'll get smashed by fossils.

At the other end of the scale, there was being left in Sophie Arthur's dust (metaphorically speaking) in the finish chute at Sprint Melbourne last year.
