We played one game this season where our total physical output was 15% more than any other game.  Can anyone guess which game it was? Source is Burgo's podcasts.

    I would guess Prelim vs Geelong but only a guess.

    Such a fantastic podcast. In disappointment terms, Burgo's departure ranks a close second to Jurrah and ahead of Jako for me. I'm not sure that everyone really appreciates what we've lost - one of those blokes bagged us a flag. And sports science isn't going to go away anytime soon. To stay ahead, our club needs to recruit the best in the business from the worldwide pool.

    What is "physical output" a measure of?

    You would need to ask Burgo.  I would assume they measure total energy for the game for every player using the GPS and efforts etc but don’t really know.

    Does anyone have a calorific indicator?🤣

    Felt like we outnumbered the Tigers in that game and had an extra couple of players on the ground so I'll go with that one

    This looks like the super duper version. https://support.catapultsports.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001343976-What-is-Metabolic-Power-

    Burgo has a PhD so he worked it all out.
     

     

    That's brilliant @Watson11 - my hypothesis was correct :)

    Salem and May’s bone crunching hits in the first were pretty big. And they definitely made a point of roughing up MaCrae in the first.

    For those interested, the podcast where Burgo spoke about our output was this one https://brukieandburgo.podbean.com/e/series-2-episode-2-matthew-innes/

    Matthew Innes is head of high performance at the Bulldogs, and it was not the most interesting podcast.  Innes spoke about the finals and the travel and quarantine the dogs dealt with etc.  Burgo slipped in the conversation that Round 20 against Gold Coast, despite spending the entire previous day sitting on a plane etc, then having the game scheduled early the following day the MFC players performance was off the charts and 15% higher than any other game this year. It was also the week after the wet slog against the dogs.

    You have to feel sorry for gold coast considering our performance after that game.

    I said before that the GC game was a watershed game for us. We played our best footy for the season after that.

    Fascinating that they could do that under the circumstances of the previous 24 hours and play that way WITHOUT a crowd 

    It really turns every piece of preparation upside down!!

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
