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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
