I said Pearson previously but this is a fantastic suggestion and a great recognition of his win in London and of his representation of Australia over several Olympic games and world champs.

Don't care, Russell Mark is a flog.

Don't care, Russell Mark is a flog.

At least he isn't a wife beater and a bully

That ends any remote chance Michael Diamond had of being flag bearer.

I'm hoping it's Anna Meares.
One of Australia's greatest ever sportspersons, a World and Olympic champions, she fought back from that life threatening fall on 2008 and it will be her final Olympics. I can't think of anyone more deserving.

 

[Underarm]

ABC just put up an article saying its going to be announced much earlier.

Jaime Dwyer would be a good option, But I'd go with Anna Meares I think.

 

[eth-dog]

Has to be Meares or Dwyer.

Perfect choice. Congrats Anna.

Was hoping Jamie Dwyer would get the gig, but Meares is a good choice.

 

[GreyCrow]

Congrats Anna , another good SA choice

I put Jarreds claim first but also happy with Meares

Good try, but Anna will always be a banana bender.

She will always be a coal miners daughter.

All SA is good for is producing Cyclists and wine

Was hoping Jamie Dwyer would get the gig, but Meares is a good choice.

Especially seeing he was told he was going to struggle to make the team and just about told to retire 2 years ago
