    You sure it's not just him getting some gym photos?

    I am fairly certain he could do that throughout the week. Highly unlikely he drove to the club on a saturday night just to take a photo of the gym

    So a guy whose barely played in 2 yrs (obviously through no fault of his own) is doing an extra session on a Sat night. Given his large salary and clear commitment to the club I'd call that par for the course. Great guy and love watching him play, but don't think it's too unexpected.

    I wonder how many other players on big salaries would be doing this

    You reckon when Buddy did his hammy he was in the gym on a saturday night ?

    You think any of our players do this ?

    Not by the look of this photo they don't

    Firstly, most people don't think buddy did his hammy.

    Second, anyone on about $600k p/a and unable to do their job for much of the last 2 yrs due to injury should be putting in extra hours (yes even on a Sat night) to get back to work.

    No offence tingles but this is hardly inspiring.

    I've just knocked off from a 14 hour day and I'm going to the gym too. Am I committed? No I'm bloody stupid because I should be going to blow the froth off a couple.

    But anyway.. "Yay Mitch!"

    How about you give credit when it is due....great stuff Clarky, I hope he gets the rewards for his hard work. Set the example

    Perhaps you didn't use much energy over 14 hours at work.

    Yeah sure, good on him, but no big deal.

    How committed do you really have to be to not go out and get [censored] on a Saturday night? People have been doing it for hundreds of thousands of years.

    I am aware that he should be doing it .. the point I was making is how many of our players do you think actually do things like this ?
    Clarky is setting an example and by the looks of the empty gym it seems he is the only one there. I am aware some other players may have done it but judging on our performances of late I am not sure many do extra work

    It's called dedication.

    Sorry, but I don't understand what anyone is talking about here. And I don't really understand the twitter jargon.

    I opened the link and saw a load of photos from what appears to be a US trip. What is the big deal?

    I'm impressed that Mitch is 'dedicated' enough to respond to your tweet Tingles, assuming you are luke_tingles.

    The extra session is what a guy of his ability, standing and professionalism should be doing. And yes, good on him for that.

    Yeah I was happy with that

    Yeah as I stated I am aware he should be doing it however my point was are there many on our current list who would be doing it ?

    I believe Jimmy Magner used to turn up to the club at sparrows f@rt to do early gym sessions. Look where that got him! ;) ;)

    Given he could have been big noting himself at the portsea polo today with the likes of dane swan Dustin Martin and Harry kewell...

    Jimmy was limited as a footballer but I still say good on him for doing it

    Had a reasonable year at VFL level.

    But what about the Tapscott's, Bleases, Trengove's and the like. I'm also tipping Cale Morton and Jordan Gysberts never did it

    Do you know for a fact that Tappy, Blease or Trenners do not do extra work on top of their Club sessions? I don't, but my guess is most players do extra work, whether it be gym, running, bike, swimmjng, etc. I don't think Mitch would like the implication that others are slack because the gym was empty on a Sat night. Is that your point? No offence, but I just don't get the purpose of this thread.

    Good to see he's a professional.

    On a scale of 1 to Robert Harvey I rate it at 'affirming nod'.

    Not exciting, just pleasant.

    I also must give an affirming nod to "Most people don't think Buddy did his hammy" as being one the finest pieces of diplomatic language I've seen in a while. Well done Moonshadow.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
