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
