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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
