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.

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

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
