And who's turned up fitter than they've ever been?

 

Geez, I hope that Petracca player and that number 13 work themselves into a bit of shape. They look like they could really be something.

Have a look at Tomlinson, he wants back in the side and a premiership medal, he looks like he’s in ripping form.

He is a beast!

i remember hearing Burgess last season or the one before that, saying that heat was our friend - the hotter the better. 

Obviously you want the heat training to be controlled, but it has been proven in sports science that this type of training can be extremely beneficial to fitness and performance.

When I was at my fittest, I specifically chose the hottest part of the day to run, as it gave you a heap of benefits with minimal pounding of the joints, which you'd otherwise have to do to get the same amount of stress into the body.

Seemed to work for me, though it's obviously not always too pleasant.


Totally for this, he had a moment, under supervision, it's interesting to test yourself and am sure he doesn't regret it one little bit. He could also be a little extra fatigued from a young bub or even picked up a sniffle from the kid (although exercising with a cold should be a no no). I am so curious about their times, am always searching online as I'm sure some of them have smoking times, but no-one seems to publish.

I am old, 51, and 6 kg overweight, but do 5 1km reps averaging 4m (best 3.50 worst 4.20) in heat up to 38deg here in Sudan (HR ~182). Kills me, need about 4lt of water afterwards and a lie down. Also my intervals are more like 3m... My holy grail is 5km in 20m never got there, best was 4.96km in 19m40s when i did my hamstring, was so [censored].

Tipping Jake was going alot quicker, he'll be fine, personally i hope all the new kids were throwing up by the end of the session... getting to know you so to speak

Well well well look who’s dropped in for a chat. I hope you loved the premiership and had the scooter decked out in red and blue tassels.

Whats with those man bras? Is there something scientific in why they wear them?

Or is it for scratch match training skins v jumpers?

<edit> Clearly not that - looks like Pink v Blue

They hold the gps monitor

I'm sure i saw him, wandering off into the change rooms.  It was from a distance though.

Yes.  You get a quick glimpse of him (sans moonboot) in the interview with JJ on the MFC website.

Umm... 'Train with' bloke with the beard is going to find it tough to make the list?

Well someone had to say it... Go easy on me!

Removing skinfold tests is really making it tough to see who is and isn't in shape......

By the look of those photos, Tomlinson might have stolen Jack's spot as the angry beast of the team. He wants back in.

Yep if otherwise fit and no vascular related concerns, then you just need to ensure you maintain electrolyte balances and are well hydrated. 

Still it is something you work up to and perhaps Lever went too hard too early. But he will be better for it no doubt!

That is enviable. Im 41 and my best 5km was ~25 minutes. Didnt get to do much interval training as my back and knees finally caved... Now its just walking!

  • 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.

    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?
