That's what I was referring to. At around the 250m mark they'd be burning up and reaching for the oxygen bottles.

Every year the subject about umpiring is discussed.
Its an argument that will never change because we are dealing with individual people's views/interpretation...
umpire veiws a decision one way the player another and the spectator another..
when your watching your team your focused on your player so of course you will see things that yo I believe should result in a free...
It all comes back to the unpire being consistent. .....if the decisionsare consistent both ways I can handlr that.
umpires also have to stop being so "precious"... a player swears in heat of battle let it go ....they are men playing sport...
my deep thoughts finished.....
how good is the race for top 5 now...
buffs...vikings...sharks...all pushing for spots....
bring on saturday see what surprises are install..

Spot on pirate, agree with every word bar the last one -- should read " in store ". Great to see someone put the umpiring debate to bed -- hopefully permanently
( on here anyway).

Sandgate and Coorparoo high school education twinkles...skipped a few spelling classes...
I dunno. 400 in 90 seconds just once when fresh is very achievable for most i world have thought.
I remember i could do it in 51.9 secs in year 12 (20 years ago). Id back myself to do 90 seconds easily now on the wrong side of 100kg and wrong side of 35.
Wouldn't want to do repeats though!

Can someone tell us who plays who in rep games this week?
Qld v W.A ammo's. Qld team is on AFLQ site
Suns, Kedron and Pirates look to be top 3. Fourth and fifth spot still between 4 or five teams. The outcome of a few games this weekend could be critical to final placings. I'm tipping the team who finishes 5th will have more losses than wins.

Blokes too fat to run 400m!!! at least for an under 30 yr old.... 
Blokes too fat to run 400m!!! at least for an under 30 yr old....
knowing Wade I feel he will hang on to that claim that someone said he was under 30 for years to come....
Smy.
I did the 400m challenge last night.
I'll set the scene. I've been injured for 2 weeks, trained with the boys last night in a pretty light session and decided i needed a bit more running.
Went home, put the joggers on and went for a quick jog. I had a GPS watch on and the first 400m were covered in 74.3 seconds. I did it easy!
I had to walk home though, as i was rooted and it wasn't much of a jog.
35+ year old fat bastard (100kg+).
So I reckon your estimation was a bit off.
I reckon most QAFL midfielders would smash out a 400m in under 65 seconds or thereabouts.
Pretty much every QAFL player would do it it in under 80 seconds, if Thommo claims he can do it in 75 seconds. I reckon most of the young blokes in our 3rds team would do it easy as well.
Would you play seniors in QAFA A Thommo?

I reckon Thommo's watch is faulty and he ran 300m.
Having said that, he would definitely play seniors in QAFA A at pretty much every club I would have thought.
