Hey Kev, perhaps you should delete  old pics you’ve posted and that are no longer needed. You just go to your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and select the pics you don’t need, and delete. 

Thanks WCW, cleared the 6 attachments, and I now have 4.88 MB.

Wohoo

    I have more really good shots, but the site won't let me upload any more because it would exceed the "max total size of 302.47 kb". Is there any way to get around this?

    Demon Army did a fine job on the snags from the looks of it, very popular from what I saw!

    Hopefully, your selfless sacrifice will be rewarded with a victory tomorrow night.

    My ‘selfless sacrifice’ has already been rewarded, HT. For health and safety reasons we can’t use the unsold (and uncooked) food. Long story short… I’m on my way home right now with five loaves of bread and 72 sausages! Imagine how happy my son will be when he realises it’s sausages for dinner every night for the next month or so. 😁

    I hope so! Sausages don’t talk back to you. And sausages don’t have a messy bedroom. Nor do they stay up really late on school nights then bit*ch and moan the next morning having to get up early. Need I go on?!

    No but I can’t imagine it’d be any harder than living with a moody teenage boy.

    Apparently Viney was exposed to the same gastro bacteria as Goody and Hibbo

    Now the bacteria have a bad case of the Vineys that they can't shake

    The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent.

    No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news.

    Here's a few pics from the session.

    Ahh...all is right with the world. We're still training (and playing) in September, crowds have turned up for our training session, and if I look closely at the fifth of these photos, I think I see Satyr wearing a jaunty, white beret to match his beard.

    Back to actual training talk.

    Viney was tutoring Sparrow at the end of training on the art of dodging your opponent at stoppage by starting behind your opponent and then grabbing them and shoving them behind you as you go forward. He was then tutoring him on grabbing the ball with your arms up so you can still handball it off in a tackle.

    Viney may be our next HC, Max Hawn for president

    I was there too .... easily identifiable because I was wearing a yellow (high viz) cycling jacket. (I incorporated the visit to Gosch's Paddock as part of my morning ride.)

    Caught up with the lovely WCW and snagged myself a snag. Good set up there although it was sans coffee when I got there (about 10.15 am).

    Nice atmosphere ... Training session seemed pretty relaxed/low key.

    Would be nice to meet some D/Landers there next week ...

    Good to see the seconds on the paddock, about 3/4 of the way during the first squads run.

    Given that they have the bye, my guess is that they will be around the team all today and tomorrow, offering support, learning about the lead up to finals, and being, generally involved.

    They're really great photos, thank you for sharing.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
