Sorry to hear about your foot Jane. Old age stopped my running career but I have found a great substitute in cycling( leisurely pace of course). Give it a go if you already haven't done so. Go Demons!!

I take spin classes Bobby but would never cycle here in Melbourne. The roads are crazy where I live. Perth must be a more cycle friendly place than Melbourne despite all of our bike lanes!

Great effort by Jess - a true Demon spirit effort - let's hope it inspires the footy club AND the supporters to finish off the season in a spirited fashion.

If anyone is interested, she has a website, including some interesting blogging. Not a huge site or a whole pile of content, but a bit of insight into the exceptionally disciplined and focused person she is.

Don't worry about her acceleration, or injury. When Jess gets drafted she will switch her training program to develop the required strengths, and she has already shown she can manage injury through one of the most grueling training programs there can be,particularly when it comes to coping with niggles.

Can't remember what sport she was in before switching to marathon, triathlon maybe? Like Nathan Jones, and with the same work ethic and consciousness of improvement.

Take a small positive out of a cr@ppy injury, at least he was able to see his sis bring home the bronze live. Fantastic effort from her, sounds like she's continually improving so congratulations to her.

(Oh and Jack should've given her a Dees flag to fly as well!)

Sounds like he is preparing for a " tour de pants".

Some riders are good up the hills- and some like a fast decline.

I'm good at crevassing.

I've heard the cobblestones can give you a real knee trembling.

I imagine you waiting at the rear of the pack- ready to come from behind.

I picture you in Lycra now- I'm scarred for life.

Was rapt to hear the news this morning and happy that Jack was there to share it ( although would prefer he was fit and still playing for us).

I am in total awe of all marathon runners. I've been trying to improve my running since the start of the year and my pace per km over 5 km is still about half as slow as the pace they hold for 42 km. If I was to run alongside them, I reckon I could manage that pace for maybe 200 metres. They are all simply amazing.

I only need a sniff.

The vending machines in Tokyo might be your best bet.

You'd struggle to get near Jess with your health issues.

It's time you trawled the bingo halls and CWA scone teas for some action like poor old DC.

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. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
