Dear members and supporters,The official start to the 2025 season is now only a few short weeks away, and as usual at this time of year, there is plenty happening. Coach transition planWe recently announced AFL senior coach Ken Hinkley advised the club he will step aside from the role at the end of the 2025 season. Ken and the club had open dialogue over the pre-season which ultimately resolved that this would be the best time to finish.
Saucony Peregrine 14 Review

Oct 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

The Saucony Peregrine 14 provides a ton of comfort in such a speedy model. Sometimes the outsole falls short on mixed terrain, and we think Saucony could stiffen the midsole ever so slightly to boost confidence when really running hard. However, this still is a model we love, offering excellent cushioning while remaining light and lively. Performance Comparison The cushioning found on the Peregrine 14 is less stiff than some of the competition in its weight class.
Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra Review

Oct 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

The Adidas Terrex Agravic Speed Ultra is designed for runners who excel in form and seek a competitive edge. Its standout feature is a dynamic, springy bounce, the most pronounced among the carbon models we've tested. We enjoyed the premium materials but found the upper to have higher-than-average volume, which didn't lock down our feet as well as others. With its high stack and intensely rockered profile, it's great for easy to moderate trails.
Garmin Forerunner 165 Review

Jul 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

The Forerunner 165 is a great lightweight option that offers many features athletes may appreciate, and the smaller display may be appealing to those with smaller wrists. It also comes at a great price. Performance ComparisonOur accuracy assessment involved testing both the GPS chipset and the heart rate sensor and scoring for accuracy accordingly. To evaluate GPS accuracy, each watch was taken through a predetermined 2.8-mile course, and their total distance was compared to the actual distance.
Garmin Forerunner 965 Review

Jul 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

The Garmin Forerunner 965 is built with running in mind. Its lightweight, slim design feels featherweight on the wrist. The Forerunner is built for everything from the city to the trail, and its battery life should last for days to weeks, depending on your configuration. Ultra athletes should consider if they plan to go over 24 hours of GPS recording time. This is a group where this watch may not be sufficient.
Fitbit Charge 6 Review

Jul 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

The Fitbit Charge 6 is a simple and affordable GPS tracker, perfect for those prioritizing basic features. Its small display isn't ideal for detailed data, so it functions better as a tracker than a watch. The Fitbit mobile app is user-friendly, providing easy access to your tracked activities, steps, daily heart rate, and sleep information. Performance Comparison We have determined our accuracy rating through a series of tests involving the GPS chipset and heart rate sensor.
Garmin Vivoactive 5 Review

Jul 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

The Vivoactive 5 isn't the most rugged or athletic-looking watch in our lineup. Its slim fit makes it easy to wear under sleeves and keeps the look unassuming. While this may not be the top pick for a GPS watch, it's great for those who are health-conscious and won't need an altimeter or advanced navigation features. Unless you need a multi-day battery life, this is a great option.
Garmin Enduro 2 Review

Jul 3, 2024 | outdoorgearlab.com | Matthew Richardson

If you like the Garmin ecosystem and battery life is your top priority, this is a great option for you. The Enduro 2 is large, but we were surprised by the wearability of the model; the wider straps actually make the model just as comfortable as the smaller 47mm cases. The larger screen fits more data and reduces the need to switch through data pages. The dedicated flashlight is one of our favorite new features, and personally, we wouldn't buy a new watch without one.
From the CEO: 10 April, 2024

Dear Members,It’s important to address the offensive homophobic slur Jeremy Finlayson made to an Essendon opponent during Friday night’s game at Adelaide Oval. Without question, Jeremy made a significant mistake and has taken full responsibility for his actions and expressed his remorse immediately. Today, both the club and Jeremy accepted the AFL findings and subsequent sanction of a three-game suspension.
