    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
