Hopefully he may live up to the dizzying standard set by Ricky Petterd in #15.

We're due to have a #15 that can play. The last one we had was Paul Hopgood, since then we've had Funcke, Smith, Petterd, Rodan and Stretch (source: DemonWiki) - all borderline AFL but NQR players.

We've  had way more than our fair share of funke

3 mins 12 secs per km

Not bad. 

Especially given the undulating terrain and mostly gravel surface!

We all have differing opinions, but I think you're being generous with Paul Hopgood's ability. I'd go back to Stephen Tingay (and if he doesn't qualify because he played his best football in #2, all the way to Stan Alves).

Now he could play!

Yep - the tail end of Hopgood’s career was around when I started paying enough attention to know the ins and outs of each player, so I probably am being generous. Definitely wouldn’t count Tingay, so Alves it is.

Anyone know what the typical 3 km time is. I just ran 16 flat but am 39 with a crook back. Still knackered.

Anything sub 10 minutes is very good, getting down towards 9:30 is elite. If your mids can do around 10:30 and bigger guys at around 11 then that’s handy.

Im surprised we haven’t followed the draft combine and most clubs in doing 2kms but really I doubt it matters much. 

The repeat 200m runs and repeat sprints that they do at the end of sessions are probably a better guide for how a guy might play.

That’s faster than May ran it day 1 last year.

Not full on at all

Both about a few kilos fitter than last season 

Big big year for Trac and back to 2018 year for  Hibbo.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
