From @MelbourneFC Twitter.

"The boys had a time trial around Princes Park today. Top 3 were@jtren9 followed by youngster @TomMcDonald92 and then@nathan2jones.

Two of the three are expected, nice to see Trengove beating Jones though. But Tom McDonald - He continues to impress. For a big boy, 194cm & pushing 90kgs now he sure can run.

I got sucked in.

I went down and paid $15 in the carpark opposite. ($15 because there was a special event on)

Then got told about the time trials.

What a loser.

In the first 3k time trial for the year Jones ran just over 10 minutes from memory.

Low 10's and anything under 10 is "elite".

I heard Misson mention he expected AFL players to be getting low 10's. I attempted this and only managed to get 2km in 9 min. It really is amazing how elite these guys are. (disclaimer: not very fit myself)

I wonder if Rohan Bail was fit enough to do this time trial. Either way, with his tweaked groin I would have been surprised to see him finish in the top three.

Is Bail ever not injured?

If you want to be really fit, it seems you have to walk that line between chronic injury and super endurance.

I heard lots say that. That's a kilometre rate of 3:20. Elite for a footballer maybe, but miles off 'elite' running pace.

The current world record for 3000 metres is 7:20.67 ... a kilometre rate of 2:26.

Craig Mottram has run 5000 metres at a kilometre rate of 2:36.

Ron Clarke ran 10,000 metres at a kilometre rate of 2:45 on his way to the world record way back in 1965.

World class marathoners run 42,195 metres at kilometre rate of 3:00!

Hahaha good stats. I think the word 'Elite' gets thrown around very loosely. Having said that 'Elite' distance runners aren't getting Bumped, Tackled and having pin point passes from 40M are they? Footballers ARE 'Elite' athletes.

Yeah, I meant "elite" for footballers.

No chance they will run times like long distance Olympic runners, completely different specimen.

Not to mention the runners don't have 90+ kg of muscle to lug around.

Now that last is just hellishly impressive. It's insane how fast those buggers go over such distances.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    The tough on baller won his second Keith 'Bluey' Truscott Trophy in a narrow battle with skipper Max Gawn and Alex Neal-Bullen and battled on manfully in the face of a number of injury niggles.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
