Howe about this

Featured Replies

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere but according to the link below from Kevin Sheehan the all time running vertical jump record from the national draft camp is 102cm by Nick Natanui and Jarrad Brennan. I think this is the same height Melbourne new recruit Jeremy Howe jumped in the Tasmanian state screenings this year.

It is also interesting to see that Jack Watts holds the all time third fastest time for the 20 metre sprint and Jack Fitzpatrick the all time fourth fastest time for repeat sprints. Impressive.

Would love to see LJ's leap measured.

Was Scully ever tested? Expected to see his name in the endurance records.

 

I don't think Scully was tested, injured at the time I think.

Tom wrote the book on endurance. Your boy's going to get a brownlow with us, bookmark that.

Scully had surgery and didn't test at the Draft Camp.

If he did, his beep test record would've stood for at least a couple of decades.

Yeah, the first chapter "left foot before first" is where it all starts. Bookmarked the start of the second chapter "Need some ticker"

Tom did a 15.x beep in a routine testing session long before the camp, he was still going but they pulled him up basically on a 'yeah, that'll do, let the other kids have a go' call.

Plus he's pretty good at football.

Yeah i heard he reached 15.9 or something and was asked to stop. Ridiculous.

 

Jack Trengove also got 15.4 in his beep test, while Scully was 15.8.

I prefer the rumour the tape had finished and Sculls was still going...


I remember reading one of the coaches saying that they decided to stop him so he could "dream about how far he could have gone." (paraphrasing)

The idea was that the sky was the limit.

I kinda get the mindset, but it's very hard to put into words.

Yeah, I understand. So perhaps he could hold the thought of "not yet broken through the pain barrier"...that he could still be pushed further.

Exactly, and had he have finished on the very next level he might have that in his mind as his ceiling.

Why aim to break 15.10 when you could be aiming to break 16.5 ?

If he spiked his hair he would be a dead ringer for Sonic the Hedgehog.

a fact overlooked by many who discuss vertical leaps and beep tests and what nots.. it's a sport called footy, it's not little aths


This kid has a body that is ready to go

Lets hope his mind is ready to go .

I heard he got so far it started going backwards

I heard he got so far it started going backwards

I heard the tape melted and overheated from being played for too long

  • 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.
