    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
