I tweeted the Club asking for details of the 3k time trial, wanted to take some photos for Twitter, they said not for publication, assume they just want the run done and dusted, did say there is open training session tomorrow from 9.30am, if anyone wants to attend, last one before Maroochydore.

Its not open for publication because of the fact opposition clubs send spys down to try and get data down and see who is burning up the track. Most club take this matter pretty serious.

Well, since the Bombers' runs were plastered all over the 6pm news, one can only assume that Jim knows their players will be suspended for the majority of the season and not worthy of spying on.


I'm glad that, for the first time in years, I can hear about the time trials without mentions of Sam Blease coming last

...unless we hear the results from the Geelong time trials. :)
 

I like that three of our mid-poor kicks finish first, second and third haha.

But it also shows that Bail and McKenzie are are at least trying and who knows what may happen this year (i am one who thinks jordie would be lucky to get a game, but this is a good start for him).

Go dees :)

So seriously, what was Tom's time, checked the twitter nothing... bah humbug

The club usually doesn't broadcast players' times. They'll tell you how many ran PBs and the order that they finished, but its unlikely you'll find out times.

The club won't release times.

If Jordie is getting a game in 2015 then we have not developed or improved as a team as much as we all wish / need to.

I think it was around the 15 minute mark.

Does anyone know if Hogan ran?

He ran but finished the 3kms in 5 minutes. The cameras weren't set up in time to catch him crossing the line.

Remarkable. Give him the Brownlow now.


N. Jones, Dawes, Watts and Hogan didn't run. The top 23 all finished within one minute of each other:

1. T-Mac (6 seconds ahead of Bail)

2. Bail (5 seconds ahead of Jordie)

3. Jordie (3 seconds ahead of Grimes)

4. Grimes (7 seconds ahead of JKH)

5. JKH (was stoked with himself, probable PB. Finished 2 seconds ahead of Cross)

6. Crossy (filthy at himself, or just exhausted)

7. Howey (finished right after Cross, along with the next 5 in quick succession)

8. White

9. Stretch

10. Viney

11. Lamumba

12. Newton (elated at finish line, probable PB)

13. Dunny

14. M. Jones

15. Toumpas

16. Salem

17. Vince

18. Brayshaw

19. Harmes

20. O-Mac

21. Pedo

22. Tyson

23. Jetta

20 seconds later were Kent, Michie, Fitzpatrick, Vandenburg and Petracca (absolutely exhausted).
25 seconds later Frost, then 5 seconds later Garland, then Garlett 5 seconds after that.
Didn't recognize the player who came next (99% certain this was Kieran Collins, our AIS trainee), and King was last.
*May have missed a few players in the mix but top 20 is accurate.
 

Kind of surprised at Tyson. Definitely needs a bigger tank.

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • NON-MFC: Round 08

    Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
