One of the dumbest things I've ever seen, why would anybody talk during a beep test? It's like telling somebody practicing archery not to poke them self in the eye.

And a fair effort for a kid with a 195cm frame to break the record, not your typical endurance runner at that size. Seems the prime candidate for a development ruck-man.

mclean talked during his beep test when he was at the draft camp. he was trying to spur on his his murray bushrangers teamate. so there you go. it does happen.

and no i havent done the 1000 steps before.

    I have no doubt freak ran 16.2, it's a good score but it's not impossible. He's not boasting to be a better football than any draft camp participant over the last 15 years, he's just better over distance.

    I can run a better beep test than Jack Watts, doesn't mean I wanna play on him any time soon.

    cheers Watts=saviour.

    Appreciate it. Some people just can't handle it if demons players aren't the best at everything. at the end of the day, they're just footy players. At 17/18 they haven't had afl pre-seasons.

    its ok, in my opinion anyone who can 15 + beep tests and 10 min 3kms and not play afl footy is obviously a dumb footballer with shite skills, sorry freak no offence

    To be honest I think some of these figures have fallen victim to Chinese whispers.

    Actually, I left out the ones that couldn't provide reasonable verification. There are many unconfirmed reports of people finishing (23+) the test, but nothing that has been verified or recorded. The 19.2 by Håkan Mild is, I believe, the highest score ever recorded.

    Trengove did it in his beep test this year to,he was the only one that kept pushing the other lads & kept encouraging them.Thats 1 of the things that impressed the talent scouts,said hes a natural leader & onfield leader

    I did a beep test once... made it to about 6 and spewed... probably shouldn't have done it with a killer hangover.

    Ah school, so much time wasted on meaningless crap biggrin.gif

    Happened to come across this thread when searching the interwebs for some information on beep tests, and thought the thread was worth a laugh for any of us who have been around here for a while.

    Importantly, I don't think Alex Stopp was ever drafted, however he did play at Norwood (along with a fine list of players for SANFL that year with lots getting a go at the big league http://www.safooty.net/norwoodredlegs/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4993)

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
