Are we able to use this as a valid excuse if we miss finals?

Think of it more as an advantage having a mole in the umpires camp. I trust he will threaten the umpires with endless 100x100 metre runs if they give any free kicks against us.

At the Demons for 5 years?

That's almost a lifetime in today's marketplace. 

I'm sure he would feel that he has done as much as he can at the Dees in terms of teaching, instructing, motivating and passing on his knowledge.

I enjoy his instagram videos, but surely Misson and the rest of his team have a handle on the various aspects of the job. Represents an opportunity to retain most of his knowledge and then bring in some fresh ideas.

It is disappointing that the AFL would open what surely must be an attractive position on the verge of the season starting at a busy time for strength and conditioning. Is it only with the introduction of a new head of umpiring recently that they worked out they needed new strength and conditioning programmes?

You'd think it would be better for everyone if the hiring and firing in these positions occurs over the October break time.

The timing is the only thing that is anoying me about this. Puts us on the spot to adjust, late in the preseason. But I'm sure the handover within the club will be managed well, team-based planning, all that.

For me, I'm just chalking up another mark on the 'signs the AFL HQ are a complete shambles' board.

I've literally never heard of this guy. Isn't Dave Misson our "fitness guru"?

Misson is the master, Jackson was the guru.

Umpires' High Performance Manager?  If they want high performing umpires they need to spend less time in the gym and more time studying the rules and watching game footage.

Maybe the umpires will now be able to summons enough strength to bounce the ball? Here's hoping.

And for me, its a sign that the Melbourne Football Club is no longer considered a shambles because we have people worth pinching.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
