Inspirational bit of play that was! He's doing it regularly now too. Great signs from big PJ who is having a great year. How good was the crowd also?! The sound from the members wing was amazing yesterday. Kudos to us all :D

It was Green who said it.

I've been PJ bandwagon member #1 since '05 (don't believe me? check my posts :)) and saw him play juniors, and not even i knew that he was in the top 5 at the club for speed! I knew he was quick for a big man, but not that quick...

Not to take anything away from PJ, who looks really quick over 50+ metres, but we really must have a slow list...

Jump in the queue Doggo. Its not PJ it's High Tower too.

From people i know,who know PJ, they have said he always had a lack of confidence in himself.

It seems like he is starting to see himself as a real player now.

He is really attacking the ball and the man, and showing he has skill, not only agility.

By the way, if Sherman was smart, he should have changed direction and headed off to the side, PJ most likely would have run by him, and Sherman could have gotten away.Not that i am compaining, i was inspired by the play.

The running goal by Miller in the first quarter demonstrated what i mean, he was running to goal and Patful was on his tail, Brad cut in and changed direction and Patful was gone. (was happily surprised by this piece of Miller's play, did not think he could do that)

On The Couch... They pumped up his tyres a HEAP...

That one act on Sunday would have made his trade price jump from about pick 60 or so, up to about 20 something (draft pick). Coaches would have salivated at a ruckman who can play forward that has that kind of pace and work ethic, and can drill them from 55. In his early twenties, he's gonna be attractive come trade time.

Not that I'd trade him. The guy has a future, those that backed him, take a bow... but only after Hightower takes one.

Absolutely fantastic. Similar to his run down against Sydney last year (or was it the year before) when he broke his collarbone. Gives his all - that's all you can ask for.

It was better than that.

He kicked the ball forward then - realising that it was in open space - chased down his own kick, arriving at the same moment as a Swan, dived on the loose ball = season ending shoulder injury.

Later, 50m penalty against Rivers for (cough cough) not throwing it straight back, Cameron Bruce match winning snap (again) = season back on track = finals appearance.

We were 0-3 going into that game. That entire 2006 season owes itself to PJ's glorious moment at the SCG that afternoon.

Couple that with his chase down on Sunday - cometh the hour cometh the man!!

The gutsiest part of that play IMO, was that he contested the next boundary throw-in with a dislocated shoulder. He was right next to the interchange gate, and could have come off straight away but a replacement wasn't ready, so he contested and won the hitout, before coming off. That's tough and selfless.

How bout how he broke his hand in the 1st quarter against the Cats in round 3, but went onto to have 19 disposals, 12 hitouts and be one of our better players for the match? Unbelievable determination.

Truly inspirational stuff.

A guy named Justin Sherman

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
