Time Trial

[sunsaint]

not sure about your voice JB
but maybe curls is a lone sole
you know born with two eyes - but as it grows older one eye migrates so you can only see "one side"
especially where umpires are concerned

[To the top]

Hill has been a class footballer at a top Club

And a class footballer at a middling Club

He has the skills and character to be a class footballer at (we all hope) a rising Club

He was curtailed by an injury suffered during a match in 2020 - not serious enough to keep him out but it impeded

The more class we can add to this side the more he will shine

I think Hill will dominate at Etihad under the roof

I feel you are being very kind in your assessment sunsaint.

I believe the issues you refer to are based more upon intellect than physical deformity.

He played four games at Etihad last year. I didn’t see him dominate.

I think you are right BM. Lots of critics of Brad Hill here but I am not sure we used him correctly last year. Also a player of Hill’s caliber will always attract a top defender, leaving the others to run amok. Hopefully.

I don’t know why we cant accept one of these about Hill:
1. Didnt care
2. Didnt try
3.Protecting a healing injury
4. Just isnt as fast anymore

At Hawthorn he fought every year to win time trials, same at Freo. There's several news articles quoting the man saying time trials matter and he can't wait until the next year to take first back from whoever he lost it to ....being older and slower doesn't mean he's not smart and still has speed late in games ( endurance over acceleration).

He 100% is slower. He 100% cared about time trials at every preseason before coming to us

So ......

So.... what's the problem? We're only paying him 900k a year.
He'd want to pull his finger out and get productive.

Winning a club's time trial is great, but it all depends how fit the players are at each club. In other words, if Hill's times are roughly commensurate with previous years but we simply have a lot of players who have vastly improved their fitness and have gone past him, then this is a great result. BUT, if what is more likely, and that is that each AFL list is roughly as fit as each other, ie the median time is about the same, then this is an alarming result from a bloke who has 4 years to run on a 900k a year contract.

He's got a taste for fine food and he enjoys a drop of Pale Ale every know and then.

How many calories does a seafood platter have? Can you put on weight if you eat too much lobster mornay?

How many time a week should athletes be eating a dozen oysters?

These are all very important questions that someone who is trying to establish himself in the cut throat world of AFL should be asking?

Or maybe he pushed himself too hard at the start of the run, gassed out and just didn’t do as well as he would have liked

There in lies the problem with time trials.
They are only valid if the runner does them regularly and so knows what pace to run the first 95% of the distance.
Then and only then they can show any improvement in how strong they can finish.

That is a very obvious attempt at deflection, scollop. Putting unnecessary pressure on your fellow molluscs and crustaceans. How shellfish of you.
