Time Trials - Friday 13th January, 2012

We drafted four players in the December rookie draft. If they and the two new boys drafted in the draft in late November didn't do the previous trial then Fan's proposition is quite possible. One's first run at a distance whilst technically a "personal best" isn't usually regarded as such.

    I don't believe the proposition is possible. Sheehan, Tynan and Taggart were all at AFL draft camp where they ran 3 k's, Crouch was at an AFL-affiliated club, and hard to think that in quite a few (pre) seasons at VFL level, Magner hasn't done a 3k trial - not to mention, he was already doing pre-season training with St Kilda before he came to us. That leaves Williams, who I'd put in the same basket as Magner, if he even ran, as he hasn't been doing full training.

    There would not be a player or rookie in the AFL that doesn't have a 3km time trial under their belt before they enter the comp.

    “We only had two players [from Friday’s three-km time-trial] who didn’t better their times from last time.

    “We had 23 out of 25 who ran PBs (personal bests).”

    Well there you go. I could have sworn the first report I read on the trials referred to improvement on the December trials and didn't mention PB's.

    The 23/25 figure is truly sensational for PB's and indicates that the work is paying dividends.

    Hopefully, this can translate into similar results in terms of the skill set training being undertaken and, if so, we should be in for a good year.

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
