Might be a silly question, but seeing as Goschs is a public park, what's stopping him from going for a run there accidentally at the same time as our training sessions?

Insurance for one.  He won't be covered by the AFL's health and indemnity insurance until he's officially allowed to train in December.  That means any injury he sustains if he tries to train with the club prior to that is on Medicare.  I don't doubt that the club has already discussed his fitness program with him for the interim, but he can't do any official work with us until he's on the books.

I don't think he's running yet

except od, mr leg. he's not drinking enough malt whiskey or eating enough bananas

My god that is true DC. Had a little interruption to things and have not had a single malt in 10 weeks. Banana consumption is down as well.

I'd imagine even a smallish AFL club could cover any medical bill arising from training out of its own funds.  Surely he just needs to be given written instructions on what training to do elsewhere, memorise it, and then borrow the EFC shredder.

He's only just recently had surgery again so would think he wouldn't be doing much training now even if he could anyway.

There is likeable logic in this.

My cheque will be in return mail.

 

Will definitely be interesting to see what they have him doing his first day of training with the club. Good to hear he's got a positive attitude, one step at a time.

12 steps at a time maybe!


Harley’s in town. Currently sitting across from him in the corporate boxes at the basketball. He’s sitting in between May and Jetta.

Waters all round for those interested.

Hope that puts to bed the rumour that Bennell and May don’t get on.

Can definitely put that to bed. When not looking at their phones, the two of them have been chatting and laughing the whole game.

Had not heard that, I'm aware May and Martin don't get on but not May and Bennell

Yeah I wasn’t aware either but can confirm they are getting along like a house on fire.

I'm pretty sure Redleg has got them mixed up here. 

I think someone may have mentioned here that Bennell is staying with May for a few weeks before he starts training with us. On his first day here he was hanging out with May.

There have been a few Insta stories with May and Bennell hanging out. Pretty sure they are pretty good mates

Yes I have. That is my second mix up today.

I guess I shouldn’t be drinking so much on the cruise I am on.

Go your hardest Leg. It's not like you have to drive home. Bung on a life jacket if you get a bit wobbly !

Good to see we've graduated from training the house down, to straight up burning them down.

Further to the point, what’s stopping any of US going and training with our favourite football team?

Drinking seems legit. But you probably shouldn't be Demonlanding so much if you're on a cruise.
