SUMMER is here and our favourite players are back on the track.

But who is lighting it up this pre-season?

With players across the competition beginning to run gruelling time trials, we take a look at which of your club’s chargers are already starting to push for a Round 1 spot next year.

RICHMOND

Injury-plagued Tigers midfielder Nathan Drummond continued his successful return by taking out the club’s 3km time trial. Battling it out against the club’s one-to-four-year players, Drummond saw off Kane Lambert and Kamdyn McIntosh to claim the race.

The hacks always dominate our time trials....we have the fittest duds...

[1965]

What does this tell us?

[Diocletian]

That we have the fittest duds...can't you read?

[🏅Dooks]

Going out on a limb here.....but does anyone think we may have the fittest duds?

Duds or not, they're putting in.
It's what that fool dimmer does with them in preparation that incapacitates them.
I'm convinced.

Most duds tend to be fitter  because that's all they have going for them.

Running around the tan or where ever is one thing, being able to beat your opposition over 5 or 10 metres is another....just saying....just saying

[Diocletian]

Drummond on track to to be led to the ball even quicker...


Lambert on track to double his output and play 6 good quarters for the year....  


McIntosh on track to actually stick a tackle, not over hit every handball and kick to an actual target once in a while.....

McIntosh can blaze away at times but I have seen him do some pretty superb kicks on more than the odd occasion

What is the knock on Maccas tackling?

True but speed is less of an effort thing (in terms of pushing yourself in training and during the trial) and more comes down to natural ability whereas fitness can be improved significantly.

Another thing, I'm not really sure how Rance usually fairs in the time trials but if I had to back anyone to run 3km at the end of the game to win us the match i'd be picking him

Blazes away far too often when he still has time & space....like an outside version of Tuck...

What is the knock on Maccas tackling?

For a player of his size it's pretty ineffective....

Exactly this. One of the few players who will bust a gut no matter how exhausted he is. Like the final round against Syd I think in 2014? He was cramping in the final quarter but still kept getting to the contest

[tdy]

As much as you gut a hate B Ellis he also busts a gut. He just is so buggered by the time he gets to the contest his disposal is crap.
