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.

"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?

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.

My favourite Nicho lines:

"I want you to hold the chicken... between your knees" (Five Easy Pieces)

"He wanted the cheese melted" (The Last Detail)

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

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!!

Rehabbing: Great to see Kentfield back (much slimmer), walking with Tholstrup, TMac (suspect just a management thing), Viney (still being cautious with that rib cartilage?), Melksham (

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
