Jacko reminds me of Fitzy when he first arrived at the club a few years back, with that massive mop of hair!

I'm loving the fact that at the draft night when interviewed, he said he won't be getting getting it cut; must have sent a few on here into a conniptious (new word) state.

    How about we cut out the personal potting yeah? At least he makes it to training sessions unlike myself and most others on this site. Honestly the attacks on this bloke from the likes of yourself and old mate (dazzledavey) isn’t warranted and just details the bloody thread.
    Anyways, moving on.

    If he makes foolish statements, he must expect some return fire. 
    Many a Demonlander give us Excellent training Summaries that are much appreciated, others are what they are. 
    A late start to training as opposed to rehabilitation after surgery are two very different scenarios.

    He was indeed. It was not a track day but he was in the gym.

     

    That's brilliant! Great to see. I'm staying optimistic that he is going to work out for us.

    So, if the others are nonplussed, is Salem plussed, or nonminused even?

    Harley does certainly appear to be "giving it his all" in a last ditch bid to save his career.  

    Great to have someone at the club with this mindset, though it could still possibly not amount to anything.  Well done, son.

    I get to the corner of Swan and Punt around 8.55 I look across to see if truck is in place or any sign of red and blue life, usually get a coffee from Richmond station and they are setting up as I reach the corner again

    They have appeared between 9.00am and 9.30 every session I have been at, so you can guarantee tomorrow will be 10.30????

    I'm planning on heading down tomorrow with the camera after school drop off. I'll be livid if it actually starts at the advertised time as I need to leave just after 11.

    You're going to be an alternative Australian music festival?

    Boots have very little in the way of cushioning or flex. Runners, on the other hand, generally have heaps. When the surface is dry, runners would deliver much less impact

    Very interesting observation. 

    Footwear is crucial to foot health. Exactly correct that cushioning can be important so also can grip and responsiveness .

    Surface tension, time on the surface and compounding impact can also affect foot health

    i would hope that New Balance are consulted in all training and match circumstances .

    it would seem that we lacked a bit of knowledge in the past when you look at our record

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
