Chasing Monday's 2km time trail results?

[3066]

Does anyone know the times that the boys did on Monday? In particular what Clarke did and how much of a standout he is rather than guessing from Bluey's boner.

Also wouldn't mind knowing what Pebbles did too if he apparently came last? He really does need to pull the fitness out more than anyone at the club. Fair enough he came back from a major injury and he probably slowed more than expected as the year went on but cardio work is cardio work and I doubt he played at his listed 104kg.

If the results aren't known then does anyone have an idea what an AFL player is generally expected run over say 5km?

Someone has to come last. You'd bet it would be the heaviest guy on our list as well.

Probably expect most to do 3kms in the 10 - 12 minute range.

Yes and people tend to forget he did kick something like 40 goals at the half way mark of the season.

He will have a full pre-season this year but I'd think his CHF days may be over and he'll play maining out ofthe goal square.

they ran a 2km time trial....marty clarke came 1st with bout 6.25ish he beat butters which is the 1st time in 10 years butterss has been beaten ...the top 4ish was him,licca,nicholls,cook and (cant member the other) medders had sore quadies so he wasnt running at %100.....and yes big rocca came last but what you dont realise is he beat last years time by about 30 seconds!!!! when the boys get back from U.S its expected they loose roughly 20 secs off their time if they havent blugded over there!

Excellent thanks for that.... exactly what I wanted to know. Great to see Licca up right up there too.

Who are you if you know so much about the time trials? Mmm?... and your club is listed as Geelong. This is Neil Blame?


Just a side point about Rocca. I get the feeling that some may think I was having an easy shot and having a bag because he came in last. I'm a Rocca fan and he IS a champ but I thought my views were on track about him slowing down towards the end of the year. It's brilliant news to hear he has improved by 30 seconds from last year and that's all we need to know..... and that's he's getting fitter.

GO PIES!

Can't wait till these guys are getting regular games. Will hopefully signal the end of our medfield mediocrity with O'Bree and Lockyer getting pushed out.

Now that is great news. It not only shows that Pebs is ahead of where he was last year but the whole squad has improved (unless Pebs finished last, last year but I don't recall it) out of sight.

haha neil balme ey?..dont worry bout who i am mate!...just a footy follower i was impressed to see nicho and cookie up there! but yes great to see pebs doing his thing and getting better before the pre season has started!marty clarke is a freak! and licca keeps doing his usual business! (someone must finish last)

 

[Dazman]

You've got me thinking. How would anyone that supports Geelong even know who Cooky and Nicho are...

 

[GRANGE_GSM]

LMFAO the geelong supporter knows more than you jk (maybe it is balme or a geelong recruiting scout).

 

[spartan-magpie]

i think what ari was trying to say is the team should be competing against each other for times... not the guy who should be monitoring their pprogress.
