IT HAS been 100 days of chaos.

Embrace the chaos of MA-GAA revolution

The reigning order sundered.

Former allies betrayed.

New dangers to be faced everywhere.

Old certainties consigned to the bin of history.

The dawning of a new Golden Age of MA-GAA disruption - of Making GAA Great again.

Yes, Jim Gavin's revolution has made Trump's first three months seem like an orderly handover at a tidy towns AGM.

In a mirror opposite of the Donald's new American nightmare, Gavin has staged an anti-authoritarian insurrection - a democratic big bang in the football republic.

The 100-day yardstick has been used to measure the dreams of those who seek to change the world since FDR came to power after the Wall Street crash a century ago.

Just consider the sweeping impact of Gavin's Football Review Committee in that mythic window of time.

It has ushered in an end to football's own Great Depression - born of a chill north wind that has held the game in an icy grip since the birth of the counter-cultural blanket defence movement.

DEEDS

The FRC has delivered the promise of a New Deal for the have-nots.
