Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
Yes, its not a game of footy but its great news that Mav is looking fit. He looks ripped.
Mav finished just behind Seb Ross. Geary 1st and Phillips 2nd.

I think Con just really wishes he was as good looking as him.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
Hey he coaching and development squad have a lot to answer for with Mav last year. The decision to persevere with him injured has utterly destroyed his reputation amongst a few fans at least.
Eerily similar to what GT did with Raph Clarke years ago. Took a guy that wasn’t match fit, exposed this to the point of ridicule and persevered with him to the point it pissed most off.
At the start of the year I thought he was a top 10 player... was happy he was in the leadership group. He was a favourite.
Now I question whether he’s even best 22 and it feels like he’s a poor season away from being cut.
Really hope he hits back

I’m worried that we have 40 blokes slower than Mav.

Maybe Mav is a good runner anyway, fit and over his issues. Heaven forbid! He beat Sinclair, Acres and Steele.kosifantutti wrote:I’m worried that we have 40 blokes slower than Mav.
Anyone that comes 4th in a 3km trial at any AFL club is doing ok in my books.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
Interesting...
In Jan 2017 3km time trial, the placings were:-
1. Geary
2. McKenzie
3. Phillips
4. Freeman
5. Weller
6. Ross
7. Newnes
On 1 Dec. 2017
3km Time-Trial December 1:
1. Jarryn Geary
2. Ed Phillips
3. Seb Ross
4. Mav Weller
5. Jack Sinclair/Sam Gilbert
So, looks like Freeman has dropped off (maybe because of the ankle), Ross has stepped up, McKenzie is down and Sinclair/Gilbert are coming into good running form.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
I stated on a previous post he put in a a lot of hard work and shed a lot of weight, also he's been told he will get some time in the middle next year to which he is looking forward to
And the president said " I did not have sex with that woman"
And our former president said " Football is like golf"

If the AFL had any integrity they would save problem gamblers wasting their money and simply award the 2018 Brownlow to Mav now.

I think he will. I knew he was injured which is probably why I was not as harsh as some.skeptic wrote:Hey he coaching and development squad have a lot to answer for with Mav last year. The decision to persevere with him injured has utterly destroyed his reputation amongst a few fans at least.

But yes while players often play injured, sometimes it really sets them back. ie Playing Kosi at Kardinia Park.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
Seems we regularly played a number of injured players last year, Mav, Koby and Jack Steven among them.
Not good.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
I think you'd find every club plays players who aren't 100% fit during the season. My main with it would be were we missing out on getting some games into some of the younger players. I guess the people in charge of selection have to balance it out while giving us the best chance of winning each week.saynta wrote:Seems we regularly played a number of injured players last year, Mav, Koby and Jack Steven among them.

Affects speed and therefore decision-making time, and confidence, which spirals downwards to lead to poor decisions. You’re an intelligent guy so I’m sure you know this.Con Gorozidis wrote:I hadn't realised an ankle injury affected decision making and made you hungry.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
What does a 3km time trial have anything at all to do with speed? Its an endurance test and Mav has always had a good engine, especially now that he has gotten over his injuries.kosifantutti wrote:I’m worried that we have 40 blokes slower than Mav.

Re: Mav comes 4th in 3km time trial
If he stays injury free and fit then I believe Mav will have a good year. Its a good start in any case.
Whisper is they are looking to get him trimmer and fitter to play more midfield time. If he plays good footy in a 50/50 role between the midfield and HF (and kicks over 25 goals) then things are looking up.
We all want him to have a good year no doubt. Its time for Mav and everyone to move on from the season just passed. No point looking back now.
