If they are going to kick over a dummy they might think of getting one with arms above its head.  And go real high tech and have the arms waving about.

I was going to include something about this is my report today but forgot! I agree 1000%. What's the point of a dummy if it has no hands? These things seem to be designed for soccer walls and not for AFL footy. A simple redesign with some waving arms couldn't hurt!

    You sure about that, Binman?  If you're gonna use Saty, surely, to be effective,  he needs to be perched on top of a step ladder...!!

    Agreed, I only just outdo one of the witches hats, seems a bit of a silly argument, to be game realistic it would have to wave arms, move side to side and do trash talk, I wonder if Bill Shorten is free?

    Gonna post some pics on here and Insta the quality is not very good but thought I may as well

    have always thought that part of the arms race will include specialised AFL training equipment.

    Could be fun thinking of what they might come up with

    Do they use the machine that shoots the footy out (a la clay pigeon targets) at training?

    Good to know that at this time of year Santa is training the house down. He’s got a hard gig coming up in the near future.

    yes. he came back from the break badly overweight with poor skinfolds. a major time trial looms and will certainly test him in 10 days time

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
