Been advised by the club that time trials will be conducted on Friday @ Princess Park @ 7.45 am.

I guess players in rehab will not perform re Dawes, Clark, Hogan etc ... but will be very interesting the report from Matt Burgan re our MFC website .

Geez - how many laps did you end up doing?

Found footage from Nov 2012 Bulldogs time trial Princess Park Cross won easily with Boyd second then Gia.

It is frustrating that the top three runners are probably the worst three kicks.

Out of curiosity why Princess Park as opposed to say the tan or Goschs Paddock which are near AAMI Park, our gym and offices etc?

Princess Park is pretty flat, unsure if that has anything to do with it. Although surely if flat ideal conditions is what you want, you would measure out a known track around Gosch's Paddock, and run a set number of laps.

Apart from the other answers, it's always good to have a change of scenery to keep the players mentally fresh.

Or do it on an athletics track.

Haven't the foggiest - however, we & many other clubs do their 3k time trials there.

It maybe the trip they make is close to the 3k. Also the MFC have got previous runs @ the same spot to compare...

I will be there, so I will ask Josh or Todd why?

Maybe cause they've always used Princess Park it adds to the data they currently have on the players.

It sounds a logical reason to me.

Just curious really as i would have thought doing it near where their hq is would mean they didn't have to lug equipment and players to and from AAMI park. Also I read somewhere on DL that after the trial its back to Goschs and AAMI for more training. It makes sense i suppose if previous data is from Princess Park that they run in the same place but still conditions are likely to be different and 3ks is 3ks.

Any who no biggie obviously. Can you bet on the outcome?

Could be an interesting warm down run through the city after the trials.

Good publicity and reminiscent of Lou Richards comments of weaving through the pedestrians as part of his training routines, althoug OHS regs would probably restrain any such venture.

Time trials mean nothing

Daniel Nicholson always comes in the top 2 or 3 and he is the worst player at the club

Folks, a quick query. Does this mean that training is restricted to the 3k? I had planned the kids to Gosch's for 9:30 training tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Time trials mean plenty. A great performance doesn't mean you can play but a poor performance more or less means you season is cooked in a game style requiring two way gut running with a cap on interchange. The most important thing is to see improvement from the start of pre-season or the previous year.

Time trials mean a lot.

They tell us that Nicholson is very fit. This is part of the reason why he's still around - Roos wants to see our players gut-running, forward and back, both when we have the ball and when we don't. Nicholson can do that, which we know because he dominates time trials.

The time for the time trial is only relevant to each individual player, not who wins. It's all comparative to how they went last time and if they have improved. The club wants to see increased fitness across the board. Obviously some players are better at running than others but if a players time improves they are on the right track and have been keeping their fitness up over the break. Not slacking off.

Can't wait to read up on the results. Fair enough it won't be times but just knowing where they all finish up will be well appreciated.

Thank you in advance to all the Demonlanders who are making it down there today.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    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

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
