It appears they've set BBB for a 8 match season. Looked cooked, has knee drained and seems to be moving better. I reckon he'll play this week. Whether it works for us is yet to be seen. From what I've seen of him before the Geelong game he looked done. In the Geelong game he seemed to be moving much better. If he comes in, moves well, takes 6-8 marks and kicks 3 then just maybe he's not cooked just yet. It's pretty clear our whole season is set up only for finals. Nothing else matters. I remain incredibly positive about our chances.

Well, given there are 9 games to go, plus 3 or 4 finals, it's hopefully more than an 8 game season.

I’m thinking he won’t play all of them

I would have preferred he played the last 5, plus finals, but I'll trust the FD and fitness team.

Maybe they want to see how he goes the next fortnight and then we know what we're dealing with heading into the last 5.

I think Browns a long shot but I was wrong once before about 26 years ago

Are we talking about BBB here or lance franklin in his prime?

Territory day, is interesting.  I see the local shops are selling fireworks only on the Saturday for the festivities.

These dreams go on when I close my eyes
Every second of the night I live another life
These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside
Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away.

HEART

Oh my God, what a Dream I had last night, several Demonlanders were featured! And before some of you start thinking strange… It wasn’t one of those dreams at all. But it remains vivid and live and the scene was set at my training report at Casey. I arrived and then…………. Came the familiar song

Daht dar dar daaar Dat dar dar Dat the Dat Dar Dut da dar dar Dar …..

And before I knew it there he Was INDIANA JONES Right before my eyes WOW

 

 

Quite a whimsical adventure PF.

Much appreciate you heading out to the dead marshes of Casey to bring this report to the DL faithful.

However i believe you might’ve left out the most important part.

The part that started off the whole saga.

You apparently took the hand of some stranger as you slipped in the bog getting out of your car.

A stranger somewhat off his nut who whisked you all the way to the last frontier... the wild lands of W.A.

Where you then spent a little too much time on the choof courtesy of some of McQueen's finest chop!

Goodwin said he can train but can’t do any contact work due to risk of further damage. So essentially he won’t lose fitness but he gets a month off to freshen up before finals. Not the worst.

Keeping his running up will help.

@picket fence - great training report as always  ...... but ........ there is an organisation called AA that would certainly be of benefit to you. ( May even help with "your dreams")

BBB is less of a list clogger than Franklin coz they usually don't pick BBB  and no one says anything
