Definitely not a dig at you WCW. Not my style. I think you were sat next to me on the late night flight back from Hobart this year. You had a lot of bags and I helped you store some in the overhead. 

So now she has a favourite flying buddy as well.

    He’s soooo nice. I told him welcome to the Dees. He said he feels like he’s been with us for years. He says the boys are all treating him like a close teammate already. 

    You have beautiful eyes. If you don't mind me saying so.

    If we offered him to Adelaide for two first rounders next year do you think they’d notice the difference?

    ... and they'd still offer more value than the McKays! :)

    Thanks Layz, but I had trouble telling *Jed and Petts apart the other day so my report mightn’t be worth reading  😭

    * still not sure which one it was. I hope it was Petts because if it was Jed he might wonder why I called him Harry… and we’ve met before… several times  🤦‍♀️ 

    Dear WCW

    I love your posts and note from the club photo gallery that both were there Monday. Jed in playing gear and running around and Petty in a tracksuit watching. So you were correct if you thought you said you saw the maybe just confused with who was whom haha! Love your work

    Thanks all for the comments 

    A few things

    -we should petition the club to give WCW the media gig. She's already doing a better job then they are at bringing us information (& photos!)

    - one reason for McAdam leaving Adelaide was apparently disagreements with Burgess. We may be seeing why ..

    - disappointing to hear on Jefferson. Everything pointed out aligns with my fears for him.

    Don’t encourage her.

    DL will turn into the Bold and the Beautiful or Days of our Lives.

    We are already a bit of a pantomime with the villains and heros etc.

    💯- WCW has a great blend of sass and humility. And a proper grasp of grammar.

    Great to see Clarry back with a spring in his step. The worst of Clarry is over only good things from him from here on in. Question to WCW Was McDonald there?

    I actually did tell him exactly that! He appeared outta nowhere (my umbrella means no peripheral vision) and I knee-jerked and yelled out, “CLARRIE!!!” He said “how are ya?” I said, “better now that I’ve seen you here!” Dave, the physio called him to go and as he walked away I yelled out, “We love you Clarry!” He actually responded, “I love you, too.” 😅 Afterwards he came over and we had an awesome chat. It’s the happiest I’ve ever seen him. He told me about his 10 days with Chin and his family. I said, “Kade’s a great kid.” Clarrie says, [censored] oath he is!” That’s so Clarrie.  😁 He reckons he needs to lose five kilos. I said, “where the hell from?” He patted his belly. He ran off with the physio and when he came back to the fence he said, “you’re still here.” I said, “Yep, got a problem with that, fat-guts?” He laughed and said, “you’re a real fan” meaning because of the weather. I said I most definitely am. He pointed to his temple and said, “We remember this.” I mean, we hear things like this from the girls all the time. It’s rare that one of the boys say it.

     I’m back again. We just chatted again. He’s so funny. I said I’d better step back from him lest I take his eye out with my umbrella. Dave said, “geez imagine if that happened!” and we laughed. Clarrie says, “it wouldn’t matter, I’ve got two.” Then I said, “seriously Clarrie, you need to know us supporters love you so much, we’ve got your back, we always have and we always will, and we’ll always love you.” He said, “well someone has to” (love him). Before I could say anything he quickly added, “nah, thanks for that.”

    the combination of boundary rider and descriptive training reports was certainly different and entertaining

    I won’t be going to training at Casey, PF. It takes three and a half hours to get there. I mean, I’m passionate but I’m not clinically insane. You should continue doing training reports from Casey, you do a great job of it. All of next week’s sessions are at Casey. You’ll be busy. 🙂

    He actually did, you know. It was all sch!ts and giggles (we both admitted we love when it’s cold and wet and don’t like hot weather LOL: the conversation of two whiter-than-white rangas) but the mood shifted monumentally when I unexpectedly told him how we all feel about him. Not in a bad way but in a poignant way. His demeanour changed, he seemed genuinely moved and it wasn’t awkward at all. It was really special. I just got the distinct feeling he’s in a really good headspace now.

    I wasn’t going to but the same friend who blew me off today wants to go on Friday and doesn’t wanna go on her own. I won’t mind if she bails again on Friday, I had so much fun by myself today. 🤗

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
