"Godfrey, in the top three at Melbourne for aerobic fitness alongside Cameron Bruce and Nathan Jones"

the story is actually about godfrey and was posted elsewhere, but im amazed that bruce is in the top 3 at the club. i believe godfrey and jones, but i thought other players up there wouldve been bell, jmac and davey before bruce...

 

nah davey would rule the anaerobic, but yeah i could see why bruce would be good. he's got the physique for aerobic exercise. to be honest i've never really seen him sprint, even at full pace he doesn't look to be going to quick. so maybe his body isn't very good at anaerobic exercise.

why is that so hard to believe.

It would've been however a shock if Johnstone, Pickett, Yze were on the list.

 

Cameron Bruce has always been up there - it is something that he prides himself on!!

At least Godders is a contributor and not being carried like Mark Bolton at the Bombers!!

This thread is bizarre

Bruce has always been one of the AFL's fittest players Probably covers more ground than any other Demon

Shame he cant kick

i just wouldnt have put him in our top 3. he never seems to chase hard, and he doesnt seem to have the run all day capacity that godfrey has. im obviously confusing the ability to run all day with the ability to run hard. he probably spends more time on the ground than many of the others...fair call...

with regards to davey, he is definetly anaerobia, ut as we saw last weekend he has the ability to just run around all day...he found himself in the back mid and forward and various times so his aerobic capacity must be pretty good too.

Tell me if I am wrong, I think I remember Bell ran in the G/F sprint not Davey

two years ago for us when Davey was fit ;)

 

you cant fault bruce on his application, his work ethic, his willingness to do the team things (i.e. negative roles), or his commitment (just because he isn't brock mclean doesn't mean he doesn't get his own ball, and go when he needs to). unforetunately for cam his kicking in recent times is one thing you can criticise.

he will finish his career having at least been AA once and probably a B&F


Bruce when 100% is VERY athletic and could out do many players.

godders does not suprise me, he is a solid run with player.

Why is it hard to believe he is top 3 fittest at the club? I'd say he was THE fittest, and top 3 in the LEAGUE if not injured. The guy was a cross country runner, and one of his main strengths as that he can run all day. He doesn't have the best pace, but he covers more ground on our team than anyone except maybe Junior I'd have thought.

Bruce kept up with Griffin, who's greased lightning. That said, Griffen did have possession, and Cam was at his absolute limit for pace.

Yeah, it's believable. Most aerobic never means fastest. I was always one of the slowest at my footy club, but one of the fitest.


easily believe it

I'm with Rogue, who seems to be with condemned.....

It really isn't that hard to believe.

It's hard to believe you find it hard to believe.


it is not only easy to believe, it is easy to see it on the park every week.

considering bruce is not a quick player, how do u explain him consistently getting 25 possies a game. he runs his arse off all day, that's how he attracts the ball

Give it a rest, he is now one of our top players and we have just found out one of the fittest but he cant kick. I would hate to be grasping at straws

i just wouldnt have put him in our top 3. he never seems to chase hard

Not chase hard?? Did you watch the Dogs game? He chased Griffin from half back to half forward, and while he couldn't match him for pace, it was a gut-busting effort. The constant Bruce-bashing amazes me.

Its amazing because it is a load of nonsense, I just dont understand how supporters can bash their own players. As much as I hate Collingwood they are at least passionate and u would rarely catch them bagging their own players

hey guys im sorry this thread went this way. it wasnt a bruce bashing thread - i love the guy, just wish his kicking was a little better. i can be an yze basher at times, but certainly no bruce basher.

obviously my mistake regarding bruces aerobic capacity, isuppose its just not really something ive ever really noticed before. i'll look closer before i post next time ey :P

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
