    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: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
