I heard a quick interview with Kevin Sheahan on SEN and he mentioned that Morton could have done a fair bit more on the beep test as he basically stopped once he knew he had won it. Is this a good or a bad sign?

    Depends. If its true I'd like to hear his reasoning. If he said something like 'I was saving myself for the other tests' I could agree with it. If he said 'because I'd won', I wouldn't be overly impressed, though I doubt I'd care too much.

    I would be expecting 16.9's. And their 3km time trials should all be under 10 minutes.

    ur an idiot...firstly 16.9 is actually rediculous. good on you if you can get 16.9, if you can u must be an athlete.

    which brings me to my second point...these guyz are 17-18 yrold footballers...they are not proffesional athletest...to play in the midfield you need a beep test of mid 15. every one of these guyz will work on getting this over the summer.

    the record ever in the afl in Jarryd Mcveigh, and he couldnt even get 16.9. and youll notice that mcveigh, despite being an excellent athlete, is a pretty shitty footballer.

    as long as these guyz are working themselves to their capacity, and pushing eachother along, anything above 14.5 is very acceptable. above 15 is excellent.

    Kruezer top 15 in the beep test.

    For a ruckman/forward that's incredible. He's going to be covering a lot of ground.

    You're right. I think everyone is expecting too much of them at the moment. And you make a good point about McVeigh. In 4 years time some of these players will be star athletes regardless of their 18-year old beep test results

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
