Craig Jennings

Anyone else catch the end of afl 360 tonight? 

They had an eye opening interview with our assistant coach Craig Jennings, who in the pre-season after considerable urging went to our club doctor who found a melanoma in between his ear and temple.  If he'd procrastinated and put off  catching up with the doc any longer it would've spread, so luckily he'll pull through. 

He's very highy rated throughout the league's coaching circles and its the first time I've ever seen him interviewed.  

Good luck to him in his recuperation!

 

Good story and a high praise for the AFL Coach's Assn. and our Club's medical staff.  

Also a timely reminder to everyone to have annual skin checks.  As it was in Craig's case, it could be a matter of life and death.

Interesting in the interview that Jimmy was told on numerous occasions to see someone about his lump but ignored the advice including, I'm pretty sure, a referral from his doctor to a specialist. You gotta wonder.

A lesson there for everyone.

Didn't know that.

Ironically there are drugs that cure it now but prevention is obviously the best cure.

Fantastic that he appears to have beaten it. He was getting high, high praise on AFL 360. Slobbo kept banging on about how he could easily be a Head Coach one day and David King credited him as being the person responsible for our Demon Diamond.


Very lucky. It makes you wonder about how much time both players and staff spend out doors and what UV is doing to their skin?

I went away on a trip to the States in December-January this year. I walked around in the sun without sunscreen on for about 4 hours one day in LA. Didn't get burnt at all.

I came back to do a bit of coaching in February in Melbourne and was out in the sun for about two hours and got completely burnt. 

The hole in the ozone in the southern hemisphere is insane. The UV is usually very high in Melbourne as a result. Sunscreen is a must if you're out in it three times a week.

I hope in the future the club thinks about having an in side training shed, same as the bummers have because they are out in during the worst time of the year.

Hope your sun burn wasn't too bad? Hate getting burnt it's not fun.

Massive wraps on him from a couple of Bulldogs people I know. They weren't sorry to see McCartney go but very sorry to lose Jennings to us.

It was a big coup. I think McCartney was a coup too, but each to their own. ;)

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
