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 ?

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
