I should have wagged work. I am not productive at all. 

Tomorrow will be worse, but I have meetings I need to be switched on for. At least they are in the morning, so I can take an early mark and sneak out. My boss is going to line up for MCC walk ups, so I'm safe. 

I haven't slept for two nights 😅

    Grundy smiled. That's all I have to report so far.

    Clearly he’s not taking this seriously enough.

    They're walking out now 

    How packed is Gosch's ? Hoping there's a huge contingent of Dees supporters, probably mostly kids and teens because they don't have to face the hard reality of having a job.

    Times like this I hate living interstate.

    Enjoy everyone!

    Training updates would be greatly appreciated. 

    If you're south of the Murrumbidgee @dazzledavey36 then you're not really interstate.

    It's a decent turnout. Feel like there might have been more last year but still good. Plenty of kids around and slippery fellows like me sneaking out of work for an hour or so.

    Apparently Jordon wasn’t doing the previous 2s session. He is with the ones. 

    I guess Jordan wasn't singing a mosified version of this prior to training then:

    (I don't wanna be in the ones, don't wanna be in the ones, I don't want to be in the ooooones!!!)

    My highlight so far and it is going to be hard to top the merchandise girls walking around handing out posters to the fans and trying to give Brad Green one.

    Fellow Dees tragic Caden McDonald has a song on Spotify about that . I think it's called Don't want to play in the 1's.

    If he wasn’t strapped I wouldn’t know. Same as last year though. It appeared late in the season. 

    Hard to get a read on him, haven't seen him stride out a lot yet but his agility seems ok.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • 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.
