    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.

    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.

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

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
