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

Well I am hoping he only means trade period and therefore Tyson, Michie, Vince and maybe Riley but yes it would be a fair case of MFCSS to think that none of those guys can give us better service than Cross.

Either way it's a bit irrelevant to this thread. But I am expecting Cross to be a bit of a love-hate guy over his 1-2 years with us as a players. His kicking will frustrate as will his lack of speed with the ball, but his work rate and courage will impress. I'm hoping a new club reinvigorates him, he was a bit hard to watch in some earlier games with the dogs this year

I am sure that Cross will impress most Demonlanders in 2014 [even those who kept clambering for the Club to play Magner].

The Vince article on mfc website states that the first 10 players ran under 10 minutes. This is a great effort. Anyone know who was the top 10?

Does anyone know if the Princess Park circuit is a true 3km's? Browsing through historical draft camp results only 10 people in the past 10 years have run the 3km time trial in under 10 minutes which is less than 1% of the total tested.

I think they shortened it a little to ake it as close to the 3kl mark ...Started at the sheds, city side of main oval and finished around 70 metres from the starting position.

Princes Park is 3.179 km.

I ran the circuit for 12 years.

Forrest Gump was an amateur.

Hope you kept your fluids up.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
