I am sure that I am not the only poster that has trouble understanding the abbreviations, idioms, nick-names etc used in the Forums. There are a number of reasons why posters abbreviate but every day I come across posts that I struggle to understand. Could I ask that a glossary be created as a pinned thread in the 'Melbourne Demons' and 'Double Dip Drafting and Trading Board' forums. I'm not sure how you would go about it but I would love it. Today I read about training and the term "run throughs" was being used - I think I understand what this means but I'm not sure. I asked somebody else and they were not sure either. Too many times I have had to review posters names or get out the team list or check coach's names or admin names to work out what or who certain initials refer to. 'fd' for Football Department is one I'll never forget.

Cheers

cf,

It's a good discussion piece, do you have any other examples.

"Run Throughs" generally means repetitive sprints or 3/4 pace bursts during drills or recovery work in running. For example it could be done at the finish end of a drill (repetitively) after having received the ball and executing it to a teammate. Or recovery work such as 10 x 200m with 30sec rest in between.

Have a look at some threads or perhaps do a "Glossary" search in the forums, there may already be something similar which you can Bump if need be.

I'd suggest starting a thread on the main forum - your initial post can be updated as people come up with new info.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
