A text exchange with my triumvirate of Gosch’s girls…

I’ve taught them well 😂

I think I just witnessed them crossing Punt road to go the servo, you’ve got more teaching to do. Learnings as Goody would say

Some injury updates on our players here.

Petty having a planned 'down week' at training which will hopefully allay some fears.

They went to the shops to buy a Mars Bar to give to Kozzie, apparently it’s his favourite chocolate bar (I have no idea how they know this). They came back with slurpies and chips and forgot to buy the Mars bar. So yes, I’ve got a ways to go with them.

I’m not worried about their food choices, more so their decisions to step out, retreat, run, stop half way, run back and eventually make it across one or Melbourne’s busiest roads. Using the traffic lights would be my suggestion.

I’m on my way to Gosch’s, as are a few other DL-ers, no doubt. It’s not raining so the wussier among us will turn up 😁

I’ll leave training reports up to the others since I’ll be otherwise engaged…

For my illustrious leader and me, today is ‘Wrangle The Dads Day.’ She knits little footy jumpers and puts them on teddy bears for new dads and dads-to-be and we have four to give out today, including this little one…

🥹❤️💙

Edit: she also does the same for mums and mums-to-be. 

Update: we successfully corralled the new dads, Tommo and Maxy and the two dads-to-be, Kozzie and Nibs. All very grateful recipients, especially Nibs coz Nibs. His baby is due in 10 days!

How cool, a  Bubba Nibs and Bubba Kozzie.
 

Mama Nibs’ tracker has Baby Nibs clicking up 22.3km of inside belly turning this week, 121 sucks of the thumb and 76 kicks with 100% efficiency. 
Good work WCW.

Yesterday I was told by one of the trainers that the Casey sessions (Mon and Weds) are open. Also, the fact that the Club has bothered to announce training sessions leads one to think they must be open.

I would assume that any of the sessions not listed would be considered "Closed" or at the very least unadvertised in order to not encourage attendance.

that was a really great report. Both questions and answers, Thanks for those responsible.

good that Richo was able to confirm Dland training reports so congrats for all those posters who keep us up to date or indeed ahead of the game.

Some observations from my DA buddy who’s at Casey right now…

Maysie and Vines are training with the main group.👍🏽

Schache attack going really well up against Maxy.

Caleb Windsor will play in opening round (that’s a lock-in 😂)

Clarrie has been running all morning. Looking good but still has a ways to go.

The match sim is underway right now, after which the boys have a “HUGE running session” lined up, according to one of the training staff. (They’re gonna just luuuurve that! 😅 especially Maysie who recently told me he f*****g HATES running)

It seems it’s the ‘A’ team vs the ‘B’ team. B team actually holding their own. Caleb is in the A team. Kolt is in the B team. TMac in the A team.

BTW, where are our track-watchers this morning?

Apparently it’s a case of “Windsor… Wow. Just wow.” He and Tracc together = amazing

This is great to hear, been mixed reviews so far. Hopefully it's a sign that he's a quick learner?

Do we think Schache is a genuine chance for round 1 as ruck/forward?

I don't mind it personally if he's upped his physicality, as he is super mobile.

We've all wished that at some point. His papers were largely marked when he couldn't get near it against a second string North side.

Yep I definitely saw the positive side last week. He was touted as an outside player and yet his attack on the ball was just as good as any other player. He had the added bonus of being silky smooth, quick and accurate. If there is any knock on him I couldn’t see it.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
