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.

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....

It's a fitness guy.. He was the hare for the race. He was wearing a different colour top as he is apart of the fitness team

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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
