Jansen looked like he came in 5th from the pictures. While I know that Bell and Bastinac are noted endurance runners its always a little alarming when two guys come straight in and finish 3rd, 4th and 5th. I know there's a difference between running a 3km time trial vs gut running in a game as well but you can't help but be a little disappointed in our some of our existing group.
Kinda agree. Bell + Bastinac though were top 2 for their respective clubs in the running department so I'm not totally surprised. When you factor in the fact that these new recruits are still acclimatizing to the QLD weather it makes it even more of an achievement.

It's something for the others to aim for - got to be a good thing. And the weaknesses in our previous fitness regime should come as no surprise.
 
Quick Google says he was second in North's time trial last year to Sam Gibson. Tested well when he was drafted too.
Norf supporters will be devastated to learn that we have 3 players who run a faster time trial than Bastinac.

Oh please. I did a 3km run on that exact same track only a couple of hours earlier and I was fine - it wasn't that hot. If I hadn't been so busy serving Queen and Country, I would have totally whooped those boys a new one!

:p

If Joel Patfull was waiting for you at the finish line, I have no doubt you would flog them. :p

I thought it was 48 degrees AND somehow hailing? At least that's what Robbo told me when discussing his impressive victory ;)

Yeah, hail stones like golf balls!
 
Should be interesting seeing lions time trial video later in the week.
