    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.

    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

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

    Or is it for scratch match training skins v jumpers?

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

    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: 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?
