Angus Brayshaw's Commitment.

Recommended Posts

10 out of 10 for effort but take away 6 points for making it public, unnecessary imo and undoes his good work, end result 4 out of 10

I believe he would have done the 100x100s under instruction from the club fitness staff for his preseason benefit. The "good work" was the session itself and I cannot see how posting it online is part of the equation. Young kids (and some old kids) post a lot on social media. It's an important part of their lives. As long as it's not over the top, and doesn't involve him kicking back with a winnie blue and can of jim beam, I see no problem. That you see a 60% loss of benefit because he posted it on Instagram may unfortunately reflect more on your lack of understanding of social media Hemlock.

so if you were jogging back to the other end, that means it would be 20km all up

half sprinted, half jogged

how long is that going to take, taking into account ever increasing breaks?

Mate I played at a low level but I never took a watch out to train all I know is it always took too long. Didnt want to know how long to go on the track or in the game it was just trying to push through the pain and trying to beat everyone in my group in as many 100s as possible, without spewing.

Meanwhile Petracca is doing running sessions with Brent Moloney & Russian.

I have no idea what this means but suggest you ease off the bong.

And also Dom Tyson.

I noticed Petracca was wearing Hawthorn footy shorts from when he trained at the hawks at the start of the year..

Did you end up successful or go down in a blaze of glory Mark Neeld style?

Certainly got more commitment to 1 % Blokes jumped when I asked for extra effort, gained a bit more respect as I also did the exercise!

Made the GF, Lost the toss got caught on an old fashioned 'Sticky" wicket! got rolled for 65 had em 9- 52 and they got up and won.

Went elsewhere next season and won a flag as CC

No sorry Boxing Day was a day off, although myself and the lady scooted from Collingwood to Malvern and back today, does that count?

Did not sight Angus Brayshaw anywhere, obviously bludging somewhere, he was wasting his time anyway, Roos doesn't like or use Twitter or Instagram

Each player has a program THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW, over the break, so he would not be alone

Where in Collingwood do you scoot from Saty?

Perhaps I could give you a lift next time instead of scootin.

It's a good sign that the young fella has done some additional running on Christmas Day - but I think more the point, is that he did 100 x 100.

Not sure if you've ever tried it - but that is one heck of a session for an 18 year old on Christmas Day.

Expecting the whole list to do that is just ridiculous. There probably isn't another player in the AFL that did 100 x 100m sprints on Xmas day.

Lamumba (sorry if that is wrong) was at Vic Park at 1.30ish Xmas Eve doing half lap sprints half lap jogs for about 90 minutes all of which were being timed by a young lady who was more a drill sergeant. Chided him a few times for the times he was osting. Wore me and the other under employed old fogies out just watching him. Looked pretty good though.

I have revised my mark to 50%, I believe this is a fair and reasonable result

Might also add, I always took the new ball bowling into whatever breeze there was for swing, but on this day, threw the ball to a quickish Abdul Qadir type who got a few wkts but wasn't the match winner I hoped for! I brought myself on at 7 for took 2 more in quick succession, but then up the other end a would be wanna be quick who I gave the opportunity to, just wasn't up to it!

I learnt a valuable lesson that day!

Happy to give others the opportunity but if you are skipper and have done it all year, don't trust anyone else to do what you know you can deliver!

Lead from the front!

Photos on instagram of Petracca & Tyson doing running sessions with Russian & Moloney, that's all. Been a while since I've looked at a bong ;)

My apologies but on face value that made absolutely no sense.

I think what you'll find is that Jamar and Moloney were getting together down on the peninsula and best mates Dom Tyson and Tomlinson were also down there and Petracca was and they all got together to do their running. It's a strange combination on face value but it makes sense if they were in the area to do it together.

Love the comments labelling the red head Sam Blease and sledging Moloney about being fat.

After a bit of searching I found it on Jamar's Instagram account.

Garlands comment was pretty funny.

Reminds me of boxing day 2012.

Tom McDonald was working hard in the gym.

Rivers, Frawley and Howe were creating a long snake out of beer cups at the cricket.

Spot the difference in professionalism.

Of course. As a footballer you should train 24/7 so if supporters ever spot you having some fun you won't be deemed to be 'unprofessional'.

As a kid growing up and taking summer holiday trips down to inverloch in the 90's. seeing Garry Lyon doing 100 100's along the back beach by the rock pools was a regular.

Certainly not unheard of this stuff and glad to hear that he is doing it. Will hold him in good stead if he is to break into the side next year.

All the mid field must have been given the 100 - 100's

HL was seen at vic park doing them.

Encouraged by his girlfriend telling him it's not good enough do more.

Viv Michie has also done it. He is wrapped the mid field is so strong.

Everyone is pushing each other along.

He is very fit and is confident he can land a mid field / flank position to call his own.

All players would have a Christmas program, for an athlete at elite level training is required you do it no matter what the day is. I'm sure is other MFC players had to do 100 x 100m sprints on the 25/12 they would have done this. Funny how training is back to this, when you think about today's game it is basically what it is, repeat high speed running over 100-150m

i am certainly not an excercise physiologist, but I would suspect that most programs would include at least some lower activity days. Any experts please comment.

Has Viv been training in the midfield group or backline?

I thought his last game where he was playing off a half back showed some real promise. His kicking is such a weapon you just need the ball in this guys hand to set us up.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
