walker usually goes well

Any player that has been in the system 3 years or less retruns to training on Tuesday 23rd.

If my 2 workmates weren't out of the office, i'd take the day off and go down and have a look.

Jacko wins these
Walker 2nd

what about hampson top 5 ?

 

[marcmurphy3]

Bannister is usually up there. Gibbs came 4th in the second time trial last year as well.

Agree. He'll be right up there.

 

[Beloved]

How does Setanta go in the time trials? He's a dasher I know, but how is his endurance?

 

[DonFletch]

dont pay too much attention to these times....remember callum chambers used to dominate them

 

[kouta6]

can u belive eddie betts came last last year even with lance in it

 

[DamianBis]

small man with a small motor.

 

[Blue Dimension]

small man with a small motor.

But that motor is a part of an excitement machine.

 

[DamianBis]

well.

I'd compare betts to a mitsubishi lancer.

Small car. small motor but it does the job.

 

[setanta17]

id say betts cd be compared to the old duracell batteries, do the job for a few minutes then lose their battery.

last year suntan Terry asked Craig Mottram to join the Tiges for their time trial.

He gave them all a 2 min start, ran past the leader ( Foley I think ) like he was standing still, and won by a fair margin.

Not bad in a trial lasting approx 13 mins.

that shows how fit richmond are,
lmao

 

[setanta17]

It shows how far all AFL footballers have to go in really pushing their bodies past what they think are their limits.

That was the whole reason he was invited

ye, true
carlton have a fairly fit team, but obviously struggled the latter period of this year.

And what an effect it had.

Yeah...that's right! We could of beaten Geelong any day of the week, except we weren't fit.

Also need to take into account Mottram has a runners body while footballers are required to bulk up to take the hits. I'm sure there are a few footballers who would make excellent long distance runners if they did the right training.

 

[smithos]

Motram does the tan in just over 10mins, any footballer who does it in under 14 is doing very well, so getting reeled in isn't anything to be ashamed about.

 

[whippety boy]

Callum Chambers usually wins the 3.2km run around MC Labour in a canter.

Exactly, even Mottram's second lap of the tan, is faster than the first lap of anyone in the AFL.

 

[Faz 2000]

I'm sure Mottram would cry like a female refugee if slammed into the ground in a Waite tackle though, too, so it's horses for course.

As all-round athletes who have to be quick sprinters, have endurance to run for 2 hours and take/dish out physical punishment while kicking, jumping and changing direction constantly, AFL players are pretty damn fit.

Interesting to see the difference that focussed training makes though, isn't it?

 

[The Grover]

Setanata and Aisake finnished side by side last year, midfield IIRC.

Waite did quite well also.

Ackland was a dud in the time trial ( came near last in 06 )......shyte I hate him.

Betts struggles

Watching Setanta this year I had question marks over his endurance, to play CHB he's going to need to be very good in this area.

There are few visions that bring me more joy than Waite coming charing in, diving at an opposition player, wrapping them up and then BODY SLAM!!!
