    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.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
