    A bit of a guess, but having done some recent knee rehab, I'd say the snow provides a slightly less stable but soft surface to get the muscles around his knee more active in supporting his knee.

    Seems strange to me Dee. If you have ever run through snow its a difficult exercise because of uneven ground and uncertainty about footfall. Does not seem like a controlled exercise at all. I would prefer him at home under the supervision of local medicos/rehab people. Being o/s and earning big bucks does not mean anything.  

    Ernie, did you see the photo? He was running on a soccer pitch covered in snow. Soccer players complain about Docklands being a cow paddock. I would think it safer than running on a beach.

    Hi It's Time... Is "little own" similar to "let alone"

    One of these at the end (?) would have helped me to not having to read it 5 times.

    Edit: Having written that noticed what a convoluted sentence it was. 

    2nd Edit: Stop now while I am behind.

    I think its a lot about perception',  'feel',  and 'trust' for the player.

    The snow hides the ground surface, so you have to trust in the feel of when the ground comes into contact with the foot.   So probably as much mental attitude as anything else.  The upshot of trust, is probably much more important.  I wonder if it changes the minds perspective of being too cautious, and loading the wrong way when running and stopping quickly.  Learning to use the leg again.

    other than the snow running. I'm really not seeing any value at all in the os trip. there is nothing in the rehab ex's posted that is either special or not exceptionally well covered by Australian physios and exercise physiologists. got me stuffed why spend all that cash when it all can be done locally.

    I believe the benefit of running through the snow is the cooling effect of the ice on the knee bone, it keeps any potential swelling down.

    The idea of the  exercise is clearly to see if it'll ping pre-season, rather than during... not a lot of upside.

    And FFS don't show that clip to Greg Champion. Don't need more Bulla jokes with bad tunes.

    p.s. I'm running with 'little own' henceforth. Happy to pay royalties I.T.

    Running in the snow worked for Rocky . 

    Is Jake going to start punching a Beef carcass in a cool room?

    He will mos def make a strong comeback if so.

    I hope we can find a gnarly old coach to speak like a pirate to him as well.

    Money well spent!!

    Personally , I think we should hire a cute little kid to say “cmon Jake, I believe in you champ”! to him when he runs.

    If he has relationship problems that are magically resolved with his triumphant return that would be a huge bonus.

    Potentially, a quiet chat to the man upstairs during his dark night of the soul wouldn’t go astray.

    God bless America!!!

    From the expert on the effects of Ice - your own words -  but I do wish they'd stop calling this absolutely pernicious and evil drug Ice...

    Time hath not blunted your wild erratic fancies...

    Sometimes I wish I could bowl a bouncer or two at  you and regret I didn't get the opportunity when you were playing with PH Mitchell...

    Mitchell was the most selfish cricketer in Park cricket history.

    Quick threes off his own shots and slow , limping singles of his partners shots.

    if you were as quick as you say I would encourage you to hit him from the non strikers end.

    Speaking of encouragement, The kid we hire to inspire Jake should be disadvantaged in some severe way- either a drunk mum , perhaps a total orphan even. Failing that, a terminal disease would be nice, but nothing that makes the kid look ugly.Jake could be the kids best friend and take him on his journey- not in a MJ kind of way- just a nice unlikely relationship.

    Quite irrelevant to the topic Roger...I'll see your monicker and raise it to Jeremy Futcher, his dad's a butcher. One issue, featuring your good self, (Aus/NZ no 6), also featured 'The return of Terry F***witt, Buster Gonad, and of course Johnny Fartpants. One of the leads was "Is your neighbour a Vicar...how to spot the tell-tale signs". Not to mention "I was the third Kray twin". Classic British humour.

    There is a certain Gardiner player who, when Gardiner 'blended' with Ewing, told my brother - who is 67, won the bowling average for the seconds in this club's current incarnation, though he played more games in the first than the seconds - that he came in to face me on a hat-trick at Central Park in 1976. He told my brother I was the quickest bowler he has ever faced. True dinks. Another time, at Secondary school level, I was bowling to the captain of St Pats East melbourne who kept despatching my full tosses to the cover boundary. His big fat coach who stood at point rather than change over when a right hander was batting, called me for chucking. I knew I didn't throw the ball he called - I bowled big turning off-cutters - but I let the next ball go, it was short of a length - on the famous Rupertswood Ashes pitch - and it flew past his head.

    The wicket keeper pulled me aside at the end of the over and he said, When you bowled that bouncer the batsman turned to me and said, 'Fluck, I heard that whistle as it passed.' Then he said, " He also waltzed over to his coach - the square leg umpire - and told him not to call me again because he was bowling [censored] and they'll take him off."

    It just shows how long I've been lurking on this site. I'm sure all of the Vis characters would have be banned here years ago. Another couple of faves: Two Fat Slags, Finbar Saunders and Milly Tant. Roger's Profanasaurus is not to be missed too.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.
