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.

Mission accomplished

Choco is certainly keeping a close eye on proceeding’s.

Where are his footy's though ....  Did we 'review' them out of our system??

MY NEW FAVE PLAYER!!!

For now anyways 🤭

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! :)

Nice work!

From your eyes who is 'training the house down'?

Blake Howes!

[old dee 23,506]

It would appear that no houses were in danger today.

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.

That's probably the best training report ever produced on Demonland.

Yep ... I hereby assign all Training Reports at Casey to WCW! 😍

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.”

You do have to say

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. 🙂

[Ethan Tremblay 30,285]

I braved the weather and went down for most of the session. Was good, players did some running and stuff.

Tearing up wcw, reading this. thanks so much for conveying to him what he means to us all. And it sounds like he felt it

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. 🤗
