Don't give a crap if he wins, as long as he doesn't do his hammy!

    Or if he rips the hammy off his bone in front of over a billion people. Personally, I'd prefer to keep our blue-chip draftees in front of the tv for GF day.

    Agree. Why didn't they put someone like Strauss or Bennell in ?

    Because he's faster. Second fastest non aboriginal at DC in 15 years.

    Why do people worry about a player doing a hamstring in a footrace when said players repeatedly practice their sprinting over summer ? I hate it that some supporters spend their lives worrying about things that may, or may not happen. It reminds me of my elderly Mother.

    Thanks for sending me up H. Your mother must have been something else to think along the same lines as me. B)

    Is the race really that significant though H, that we submit JW ? What does the club get out of it btw ?

    Good luck to him anyway, I hope he beats Jetta by a short half-head.

    What are his odds?

    I would give 25/1-however he is quick over 5/10 metres.Sorry changed to 6 to 1 after Hannabal's post.And furthermore after serious thinking, the FD would not allow him to run if he didn't have a fair chance.Odds shortening the more I think about it.

    He was the fastest in one sprint, never seen him do that in a game.

    Hahaha - if they continue with the handicap trend, he should get a solid head start one would think!!!

    I don't give him much chance at all... but then again I don't really care. It's a bit of fun, sure... but all I care about is that he has one of the best pre-seasons, puts on 10kg's, is uninjured and is fit and firing for 2011.

    Odds on he will slip over....

    2.82 at DC, but prior to that has a 2.79 against his name at a state screening, so it's not just "one" race.

    Game day fast and sprinting are two different things. He'll learn the former.

    Thats potentially a billion..lol

    Get your AFL spin correct :)

    he's only 19...body should be able to do this stuff without any worries...he's quick runner according to his stats.

    if he wins it doesn't mean much and if he loses then he's used to embarrasing himself...

    good luck jack...enjoy the day.

    Personally, I'd prefer them to be playing.

    Alright then. Potentially 'over' a billion. :)

    That too. He has missed the trip to Bali.

    Every success adds a bit of confidence. The FD believes in him. Many supporters are beginning to believe. He just needs to grow in his own self belief. Every goal counts, every pass counts, every mark counts, every smart play counts. A good sprint in front of the billion????? counts. Every win in front of your opponent counts. I am going for the win.

    Good point. Chance to perform on GF day; even if it is a sprint.

    ohhh i reckon we have to lock in J.WATTS now.

    Rhys Stanley is still at long odds to get a game tomorrow. and has pulled out of the sprint.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
