I wonder if McEvoy participated.

He is usually in the top 5 isn't he?

Maybe not, he finished behind Jono last year though so who knows. Maybe others have just gotten fitter.

Not bad for a bloke with only one leg

 

[Great 2008]

Will be nice to have Stratts back fit too.

Looks like they separated them into two groups, one group did the time trial and one did the endurance test. I am guessing both groups will do the other test at another time. Doubt they would do both those tests on the same day. Bit hard to read into the results until both groups have done both tests and the
y won't be publishing times either. Smith would be best at both tests you would think.

Great efforts by Nash and Morrison. To be honest I was more surprised by Morrison than Nash as the latter looks pretty athletic for a big fellow. Obviously I underestimated Harry. I believe he had an ACL injury a few years ago so I hope he has built up his endurance.

Nash excites me

Good mover with size - some of his gaelic footy highlights show his pace

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Looks like Ollie has put on some size!

 

[HairyO]

Harry Morrison second in the 2k, with a shock... Conor Nash third. That's promising for the big fella, 196cm and third in the time trial. Both of the irish kids look likely.

Wait til the proper run early next year. More than half the players only just started their training.

He's put on a fair bit of muscle. How un-Hawthornlike!

Nice zoom skills.

Doesn’t really look like he needs to add much more either, which is good.

Wow Morrisson and Nash finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 2.2 km time trial.

Wow. Who came first?



I actually already know, but y'know... just wanted to ask the question.

Looks like Ollie spent his summer in the 'Take On Me' film clip.

would have been nice if he took Timmy O as well

Timmy has added kg’s too.

I heard he was hopping mad about the result

 

[Leather Poisoning]

Great to see O’Rourke getting some good times in the trials. Hope that translates to better fitness and a longer run at it in 2018

Wasn't he 3rd last year between Smith and Hartung too?

 

[eldorado]

Last year, JOR was looking very good, at training and Box Hill.

The second hamstring injury last year was such a shame, I'm sure he was about to get a solid run in the ones.

People who kept wanting him delisted will hopefully be surprised...if those bloody hamstrings give him a chance...

Don’t expect them to come on here & tell us though.
Some seem to want him to fail

Yup - the bucket of crab mentality is strong here sometimes.
