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

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
