Hiya W_J

I posted this on Ology after viewing the first training run. It may be of interest to you and others.

Sam looked buggered and without any real endurance. The drill was repetitive 300m-ish runs at good solid pace with a short 100m-ish recovery stroll/walk then off again. Sam needs to put a lot of k's into those legs!!

The fastest group, Jones, Bail & Maloney, were doing it in 1 min 4 secs. The group Sam was in did 1 min 14 with Sam repetitively doing it in 1 min 25 ish. We timed them a couple of times. There was another group that we didn't time cos of the staggered starts.

The purpose of the run seemed to be sort the fit from the not so fit. It did it's job it seemed.

Thanks for that.

I think he's in for an interesting time over the next few months in what is going to be his first pre season.

    Mark Neeld Preess Conference

    The bloke just screams class doesn't he. If his actions are as good as his words, we are in for one hell of a good ride here :)

    Are you suggesting Dunaden would make a good midfielder?

    Personally I think he would only be good in a straight line, no agility. Definitely a KPB

    Plus, he cannot shake a tag. Some little French bloke had him covered for the whole trip.

    Particularly with Dave Misson on Board as well...His Press Conference today was every bit as impressive.

    For some reason I can't stand Andrew Gaze and just have to turn over the station whenever he's on. I'm not sure if anyone can be more painful than listening to Tim Watson and "You blllllokes" Andrew Maher first thing in the morning but he certainly gives them a run for their money.

    Me too. I can't stand him. Everything he says seems forced.

    Can anyone tell me why these podcasts never work for me. I click on them and it takes me to where i already am.

    Are you using firefox? I've found that it generally blocks the add-ons you need to play these things. Try using ie instead.

    I agree 100% Andrew Gaze may be a Top Bloke But he is a total [censored] on Radio......as bad as Andy Maher, and that is as bad as it gets!

    Thanks for that post.

    If you want to put it into perspective; how many reps are we talking?

    B/c if it's 10 - that's really poor. If it's 20 - that's really good.

    Thanks for info again.

    Edit: Really good = 1 min 4 sec group. Not the others. 1min 14 secs for a 300m is a canter. You'd want to be doing 30 reps to make that acceptable at this level of sport. 1 min 25 secs is a brisk walk. Not a good look.

    I'm using Firefox, and it works ok. I listened to the poscasts of MN the other day.

    He drives me nuts too but he's still a pretty good bloke

    I'm just really looking forward to the next time we have bad loss and a journo asks a stupid question at the post-game presser.

    YouTube fodder.

    I have lots of issues with MFC related SEN pods (and use Firefox), indeed I was resigned to the link not working.

    However they historically have started working for me 3-4 days after the fact - which is the case with this link which was first recorded on the 4th.

    I'll even load up IE as the last resort and still get nothing for those 3-4 days. Bizzarro.

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
