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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
