What time do they do the 3k in?

In the first 3k time trial for the year Jones ran just over 10 minutes from memory.

Low 10's and anything under 10 is "elite".

From @MelbourneFC Twitter.

"The boys had a time trial around Princes Park today. Top 3 were@jtren9 followed by youngster @TomMcDonald92 and then@nathan2jones.

Two of the three are expected, nice to see Trengove beating Jones though. But Tom McDonald - He continues to impress. For a big boy, 194cm & pushing 90kgs now he sure can run.

Full Forward in the EFL Division 1 team of the year

Who is that?

Stuart Grimshaw is Managing Director and CEO. Joined them start of November.

Dont forget free agency is introduced end of next year I think?

Stuff trading for these players, lets just bloody go get one.

Gold.

Think he was always a rookie prospect at best.

RORY TAGGERT

It needs to be decided ahead of time. I think the cut off was 2-3 weeks ago.

Each team is required to make 3 deletions to the senior team list each year. However, I believe there is only a minimum requirement of 1 selection in the national draft as rookie upgrades can be included as a "selection." For example, if we had decided to upgrade Nicholson to the senior list (which I was a little suprised we didn't) then we would only have to use picks 36 and 52 as live picks with 54 allocated to upgrading Nicholson. Conversely, we could use picks 36 and 52, then pass on 54 to utilise a PSD selection although I fail to see any advantage in this.... unless we have come to an arangement with a pre-listed afl player that hasn't nominated for the national draft.

I agree that Couch would most likely be a rookie selection if it all.

Nah, clubs must take a minimum of three players in the draft, inclusive of rookie upgrades and you were right, father son picks are included in the 3.

We wont be participating in the PSD this year. Our 3 spots will be filled in the national draft.

Live on fox sports from 7pm Thursday.

If we want Couch on the senior list, we have to take him in the draft. We won't be participating in the PSD this year as you must take 3 picks in the national draft, and we have 3 spots left on our list if I recall correctly.

If we wanted Couch, it wouldn't make sense to wait to the PSD anyway.

He will either be on the senior list after this Thursday (doubt it), a rookie, or bust.

I didnt know we put alot of work into Waylen Manson?

Don't feel bad, neither would most people.

He has officially nominated for the draft. You wouldn't think he would nominate unless he has been in some talks with a club.

Players can have their own boots sponsors, so they would provide runners too.

Do all of you having problems have Quiktime player installed?

Pretty sure it runs through that.

It's a fitness guy.. He was the hare for the race. He was wearing a different colour top as he is apart of the fitness team

Correct. Nath Jones has confirmed that it is a Uni kid working with the fitness team.

It's not JV. And I doubt it's a player training with us. Odds on that he will be some sort of fitness bloke.

In other news...it's definitely not Tom. Looks nothing like him.

It is definitely not Tom McDonald on the footage. Tom is much taller than this guy.

From what I saw, there is a small glimpse of a warm down at the start of the footage and that guy is in track pants and is also in a red top different to every player. I would assume he is involved in some capacity as a fitness coach.

I would post a picture but I have no idea how.

Craig Lees?

I cant believe that he gets a potential "second chance" after allready having 3 strikes (chances).

If we're happy to consider him, knowing that he was/is a recrational drung user, then why not give Fev a chance too?

I can't decide whether this is a anti-Tuck post or a pro-Fev post, or both?

Fev has been a serial DH at two clubs. You can't compare the two.

You need permission to train with an AFL club. If this is indeed in the works, then it will need to be finalised with the AFL.

So, anything actually happen with this today?

RIP Marco.

A champion of your sport.

Worked up tonight Belzbub?

Fair to say they would have advised against it. But unless you want to lose a massive job like that, you do what your client wants.

Unless you have knowledge that it was either their recommendation or that they in fact never thought of it, then fair enough. But you are getting a tad over excited on the issue.
