I saw on the MFC twitter an hour ago what looked like the start of a time trial.

Does anyone have anymore info on this?

    Looks like they finished not long ago at Princes Park. Bugg, Jones and Neal-Bullen top three with Tmac rested. They've also put up some photos on the website already!

    ANB finishes top three in timetrial

    Good to see ANB and Bugg doing everything possible to improve and get into the 22

    ANB might surprise a few

    Is Jayden Hunt suddenly really bulky or fat?

    I'll go with bulky, there's no fat there he is in great condition.

    Very pleased with ANB, there has been talk about his tank and this will go some way towards disproving this.

    Looking like a man now instead of a whippet! looks like muscle bulk - if he can maintain  his pace with  the extra size.... wowee! Only concern would be hamstrings with the extra size and his pace - dean kent i'm looking at you.

    Last year, Bugg was second only to McDonald. ANB is one of the better distance runners.

    3km time trials should basically be used as individual benchmark for the players. To suggest that ANB will make it because of a top 3 finish ignores the reality. Being a great runner doesn't make you a great footballer - just look back at some of past players who were great in the 3km time trial but fairly average footballers . What it does show is that ANB is in the best shape he has ever been in since his arrival and that gives him the best chance of making an impression.

    Geez Nibbler is on a mission isn't he!

    Congrats to any players who ran PBs. That is the key improvement you want to see across the group. Sounds like ANB has come back in ripping shape but it won't mean much if he still struggles to hit a target. All the best to him though hoping he can turn into a Lenny Hayes type.

    So you mean we shouldn't be offering Craig Mottram a Cat B Rookie spot?

    Dan Nicholson would've been a triple Brownlow Medallist by now if the time trial was an indicator of form on the football field in 6 months time...

    Gees some of you miss the point... I don't think anyone was suggesting ANB or Bugg are walk up starts now they've finished top 3 in a 3km time trial... Merely pointing to the fact they've come back in good shape & have obviously worked hard during the break to give themselves the best shot at being the best player they can be aswell as earning respect & a spot in the best 22 ....

    I am old ( fact of life ) and cynical but I am constantly surprised Vagg.

    The most surprising thing is that I am still surprised.

    e.g. That a new clash strip thread every year gets double figure pages.

    Waggers has put on some size too

    I predict him to hold down a spot in the 22

     

    ps. how the F do they run 3:15 min Ks?  doesnt seem possible.  I work in Parkville so I just did 2 laps of prinny park at lucnh today - no need to divulge my lap times.  *a-hem *cough*

    Good to see the boys have returned Fit and Ready. 

    Looks like Roosy's advice sunk in. 

    Now the work begins...

    Pretty sure the target is to break the 10 minute barrier for the 3km time trial.  With that in mind, and going by Gus' watch, he's closing in on that mark, and you'd expect with another preseason under his belt, that in 18 months time we should expect him to break that barrier.

    It'd be interesting to know where Gus did actually finish, and how far behind those in front of him he was.

    Nice pick up 2803.

    Problem, where was the photo taken? Was it with 100m to go, or 50m past the finish line or was it at 10:19am?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
