"We highlighted some of the efforts like Kyle Cheney, who was one of the guys cramping, but he managed to walk nine kilometres cramping without complaining at all.

"Guys went out of their way to help him and they spoke about how much more trust they've got in him, because he won't let them down on game day."

"We've had some really good examples. Guys had to walk eight kilometres up a hill and some were cramping in their quaddies and calves. Blokes were willing to take their packs and help them out for a while.

"They also gave them a rub down, so those things help develop trust."

    Fantastic to see the team bonding and pushing one another, but from an elite performance perspective is this the ideal way to challenge your body? Especially given the recurring nature and frequency of soft tissue tears in footy.

    I somehow doubt that the sophisticated training methods employed by the world class clubs would have their athletes doing this kind of training ie does Kobe do it?....if he does..then rock on!

    Fair point. I wonder if the club would send our fitness staff on a tour of the USA to look into the conditioning of their athletes? Not just the NBA but the NFL would give us some very good information.

    Great stuff! I might be old-fashioned, but I can't see anything but positives from this initiative ..... absolutely no negatives at all!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
