This is what I heard:

PART A: "Getting a good 3k result doesn't mean you'll have a good year."

PART B: "Cale Morton didn't get a good 3k result, therefore he must not have any good qualities at all."

Part A is correct Chook, yes.

Part B was seperate. I am bringing Morton up because so many people love him for his running capabilities. But apparently he didn't run with the first group of runner's on Monday's training and I haven't heard his name mentioned for the 3km time trial.

I am wondering why.

Is he injured?

He wasn't in the rehab group so why is he not leading the running sessions?

Okay. Let's talk about how the team is going on the field instead. Oh wait...

It's not Tom. Watch the video of them running around the oval as a pack (0:13s) - you'll see Mcdonald in a blue top with Bate, Jamar and Davis, whilst the guy in the red is further back and he is definitely shorter than the rest (and looking at his watch - pretty sure he is some sort of fitness guy).

Yeah, fair enough, you're right.

I assumed it HAD to be him, cos he looked a little like him, he was actually a bit back from the others, and Tom was named as coming in forth.

But you're right about being able to see him earlier in the video, and even later at about 1:25secs you get a better look at Tom in the blue top near the front of the pack. That's more of the height I remember too.

In any case, my favourite bit is at 0:11 secs when one of the blokes kicking just over Misson's shoulder falls on his arse.

Not sure who it is though.

So the order is Jones, Bail, and Nicholson and then no-one knows and it is just speculation, extrapolation, and postulation?

Glad we cleared this up for everyone.

The guy in the red looks young to be a trainer. Could he be someone who's come in to train with us early? Could he be Jack Viney? He looks to be just short of Jones' height, which puts him a little under 180cm, so the height would be about right. Not sure what he looks like though. If he is JV, then it's a hell of an effort keeping up with the top few runners.

Maybe because he is not the "elite category runner" people thought he would be. Maybe he is just a very good runner ? Unfortunately, people don't prefer to spruik that, they would rather get off on the "elite" description. It must feel better....

Correct. Nath Jones has confirmed that it is a Uni kid working with the fitness team.

Some clanger that.

Is he apart from the Fitness Team, or is he a part of the Fitness Team.

Getting back to the time trial, I noticed when the first group came in, it seemed CS was running in Red, why was he the only one in red? Is this a discipline thing ?

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
