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

    • 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.
