I would guess Hosko. But Thomas? Seriously? He gets caught often while trying to out sprint average opposition.
Magpies love pies(Lol)

I do P&C. Also do you or any “older” posters remember having the “Footy Olympics” where players competed in many events? That was good fun to watch
Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!

They are probably the same as the Selection committee

Anyone who's less risk of tearing a hamstring is good. Maybe they should have chosen Steele. :wink:

Is Josh originally a Gold Coast boy? He’s probably the only one left up here in Qld seeing relatives?

Last man standing I guess.

Do the players actually run timed 100m in pre-season ?
No. It's irrelevant to playing footy..
They used to many years ago.
I think that it was at a Fitzroy pre-season in the late 70's or early 80's they received a bit of publicity for having to run 100 100's in one training session, all within a set time.
I think all clubs rostered the 100x100's, back in the 90s?
I can't see why it still wouldn't be practical these days either?
Providing their water intake is consistent, during the session.
