has the club ditched this stupid fad diet yet?

Bloody ridiculous it was ever implemented,

Did you bother to read that they aren't doing a true paleo or that it's being tailored to the individual's need? Or is it just easier for you to make brash statements in the shock jock style of Alan Jones?

What are you on about? Chris Dawes lost 8 kilos from it and now in career best form!

People point to T Mac to say the paleo works, what abut the 10 other senior players that are out of form?

T Macs improved form is just natural progression and hard work

No room for Hollywood fad diets in sport, whether slightly modified or not

Well put Alan Jones. Are you a dietician or sports scientist by chance? Thought not......

how do you reckon they'd go at 120 minutes of afl footy?

different requirements

They go alright running repeat twenty yard sprints in 40 degree heat for days on end.

The blame the diet outrage in this thread is baseless. The comment was that 'fad diets' have no place in professional, elite sport. There are however many examples where special 'fad' diets have very positive effects on elite sports men and women.

Gazza jnr seem to do pretty well on the paleo diet!

see my prev post

Then why are you questioning a cricketers ability to run for 120 minutes based on what they eat? Seem you are saying that the paleo diet doesn't allow for that to occur, Gaz is a pretty good example of the fact it isn't the diet that is the problem.

no, no. just pointing out that different sports have different physical requisites and probably different concurrent nutritional requirements

additionally the cricket example is more anecdotal and opinionated than scientifically assessed

He could do pretty well eating nothing at all

I was advised to remove myself from the diet.

It gave me a tendency to try and drag girls back to my room by the hair.

So i've gone back to using a club.

Yes. Whenever I am really desperate for a kip I skim through Moonie's posts. Nod off immediately.

Yes ,the inner city Greens go on a bit.

It's like a cup of Horlicks for the brain.

Would it have something to do with the two flagons of cheap red you have guzzled?

Couldn't possibly be any worse than those tree-changer, rampant breeding, grow-your-owners that one hears about in the local police reports. I pity their neighbours. Can never get sleep within 500m of the stench.

I'm surprised you read up on things outside of cafe society.

Clearly these rural types dont belong near the cattle yards and meatworks of yuppie Melbourne anymore.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
