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.

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
