He is not on the injury list.

He did not play last week for Casey nor the MFC.

He has not been mentioned in despatches.

SO

Where is he?

    Will probably play at Casey because I can see Moloney and Bate being promoted this week after playing well there last week against Collingwood.

    I dont really know.

    The last thing I saw of his was "The Bucket List"which was a pretty schmaltzy kind of "48 Hours" for retirees.

    Nothing since the 70's has really been any good with him.

    I enjoyed "As good as it gets"

    "The Crossing Guard", directed by Sean Penn was his best movie in last 30 I reckon.

    Heart breaking.

    Last I can see is jaw injury - Nicholson to miss up to three weeks - from the 30th July.

    He would be a chance this week.

    Thanks Paul.

    He seems to be a forgotten man as he hasn't and doesn't appear in any injury list and nothing was mentioned about him in this week's Burgan/Misson injury update video.

    Maybe we are keeping him as a smokey for the finals?

    Included in the squad of 25 for Sunday...

    Rather than take five easy pieces he's been working on his game down to the last detail and by all reports is simply shining. Expect his game, if he is named as one of a few good men in the final squad, to be as good as it gets. He's no easy rider is our Nicho!

    Randall Patrick McMurphy is the one most Demonlanders can probably relate to .

    One of the best roles ever,

    Nicholson just needs to work on.......

    The Last Detail-What a freakin classic bit of film that is.

    Got to agree with the "five easy pieces" one hardtack

    Still think it is the best ever JN movie.

    Surprised you know it from memory that was 1970

    Great year for the pies as well

    Anyone seen our man Nicho in "The King Of Convent Garden?"

    Wouldn't 1968's Easy Rider have been his first feature role? Five Easy Pieces was 1970. He and Dennis Hopper were two of my favourite psychos... Nicholson in The Shining and Hopper in Blue Velvet.

    And how could we forget One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
