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 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.

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

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form
