    Odd coincidence! I was just reading down this thread thinking about that very matter when I found your post DC. However, I am yet to arrive at any "best fit" explanation so I'll sleep on it.

    Perhaps Biffen may have ideas. Heavy/blunt/curious instruments are quite popular at the Gat.

    Nicely done R+B. I was trying to come up with something like that.

    BTW. And yes I am being a pedantic arse but what we are discussing, and certainly what is pictured, is correctly called a "jemmy" or ".prise bar". A crow bar is a different species.

    We rough and tough rural types know about tools as we are constantly handling them.

    Thanks, BBO. I bow to your superior knowledge of tools, decent or otherwise ... :-)

    In my youth, my cousins on the farm would agree with BBO - the curvy item about 40cm long is a jemmy, and a crowbar is about six feet of straight black solid metal, with which one could do some really serious damage ...

    But true to the imprecise and informal times in which we live, crowbar can refer to all kinds of similar instruments, it seems ....

    Ok, you can go on with your lives now :-)

    being further pedantic, i would dispute jemmies are about 40cm

    i inherited four from my father-in-law ranging in size from 25cm to about 100cm

    as you were, carry on

    BBO here a test of your skills.

    Do you know which tool is the can opener?

    The first season was a real laugh.

    It was a between seasons filler which run for three season I think.

    Looks like being very damp Redleg only mudrunners do you think?

    AS to 12 left this year I seem to have low interest in the recruiting up till now and then drafting in twelve days time.

    I think it is due to our complete inability to recruit any one who is more than average or who can play more than five or six games a year over the last decade.

    I find myself firmly in the " yeh lets see how good he is after 15 rounds" group.

    Even I think it is sad but a decade of disasters has me cynical about our recruiting.

    Are you going to the races tomorrow Redleg?

    I know you've been looking forward to it.

    Actually no and I was invited to the Chairman's club by the Chairman of Coolmore.

    Can't believe I declined.

    My partner has Spurtonic in the Emirates.

    • 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.
