Scare for Demons as Jake Lever faints during gruelling running session (afl.com.au)

It baffles me that the clubs (not just Melbourne) force their players to run time trials on hot days like this in direct sun. Hey fitness guy, it will be 10 degrees cooler tomorrow! Why risk the players' health? Lever's collapse comes as no surprise. We are coming out of winter and spring. No one is yet accustomed to today's conditions. And there will be very few days like this between March and September next year. Really annoyed about this lack of flexibility and common sense.

    It's not that hot today. It was probably only about 24 degrees at the time the fun run took place.

    Yeah that's what I was wondering. What the wash up with that was. Did the tear just repair itself?

    Unless it was torn off the bone requiring surgery it should've healed itself helped along with some rehab/physio I assume

    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.

    what they should skip warm days? it was not a time trial, just drills.

    its 28oC, they'll survive

    Need a little help with putting names to faces. The players 8 photos from the bottom are:

    Deakin Smith (left) , AMW and Blake Howes (right)?

    Have you been outside today? 24 deg in the shade is more like 30 deg in the direct sun. If it was "not that hot", Jake Lever must be a bit weak or badly out of shape to collapse after his runs. And you can be sure that no player was treating the time trials as "fun runs".

    I stand corrected on the distance but they were most definitely time trials, not drills, as per Jack Viney yesterday: "Ahead of the session on Sunday, midfielder Jack Viney said: "He [Griffith] wants to make his mark pretty early and he's got us training really hard at the moment. There's a bit of nervous energy about the (1km) time trials."

    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 trackers in the back. Most have been too warm to have them and shirts/jumpers (plus what in-shape footy player doesn't like getting the rig out?)

    Thanks. Didn't think about GPS devices.

    Makes sense now.

    Lever may have had a drop in blood pressure which can cause a bit of disorientation or passing out.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
