Hopefully @kev martin and/or @Demon Dynasty will be here this morning to furnish a training report since I’ll be otherwise engaged. My mission today is to waylay a rookie and glean the deets of this whole “mouse pack” story.

You’re all welcome 🤗 

You and your waylaying of young men, WCW...!  Whatever will the club welfare officer do 😁

But in seriousness - red and blue in envy at those of you at training this morning!

How can you be sure I’m not waylaying the club welfare officer as well? 😎

Casey boys are hitting the track already. 

Kolt, K Brown, AMW, Verrall, Jefferson, Adams, Tomlinson, Sestan, Fullarton, KFW

Oops I forgot about Andy 🤭

I guess he’ll just have to do 🙄
 

PS: Happy anniversary! 

I’d like a running commentary and then a detailed report on each player. In particular Viney and Oliver. Make it happen.

You might need to attend umpire training and quiz former Demon and current goal umpire David Rodent.

Squad is out on the field. 

Emergencies: Hunter, Brown & Hore out on the park

I'd like to say I enjoyed writing my observations of training for you. Thank you for your support 

However this site has decided to fall on the side of the apathetic and/or misogynist. 

My post about domestic conditions were deleted, without any explanation. 

Somethings are bigger than footy.

Establishing a society with equal access to all, without oppression, ridicule and violence is important to me.

I will not post again.

 

Interesting to note that McAdam was not out with the Casey boys. 

Bowser, Salem, Melksham doing some work post Captains Run with trainers. 

Beanpole alert: Idk what his height is listed as but for Kalani White “very [censored] tall” will suffice. He’s 16yo, outrageously tall and still has a few more years to grow.

@Demonland, given the post above, can there please be an explanation given to Kev as to why his post was deleted? I’m sure all of us would hate to lose him as a DL contributor, and it’s certainly not like him to get upset over nothing. I didn’t see the posts at the time, and I don’t need to know what they were about, but I believe @kev martin does deserve an explanation. Thanks. (Think of this as a good-guy defence).

It was discussing a very important social issue, the surge in domestic violence toward women. Agree with Kev on the poor form censoring this sidetrack when so many others are deemed acceptable. Especially given part of the issue in this area is mainstream disinclination to engage in the issue…

Hey Kev, on occasion I’ve decided to ditch DL permanently for whatever reason. But I was given valuable advice from some beautiful souls here, that being to not sever ties completely, rather take a break of indefinite length. Come back when you feel you’re ready. It would be a crying shame to lose you for good. Please consider this. 💕

BTW, (Rare) credit to the AFL for shining a light this round on the ever-growing scourge that is violence against women. Clubs have been issued a directive to bring attention to the cause. Our banner tomorrow night will address this in no uncertain terms.

Also, just when you think you can’t possibly love BBB any more than you already do, he posts this on instagram…

 

 

I’m not going off topic since I thanked BBB for his post and told him I’d share it with as many people as possible, for which he was sincerely grateful. This was at training so I’m also not derailing the (training) thread.

I'd echo this. While some topics are difficult, and certainly the current gendered-violence crisis, as being addressed by the AFL in each of the games, is not easy to talk about - the discussion of culture/the actions of boys/men in the crowd is clearly relevant, and should be kept where it doesn't descend into personal attacks/legal issues. And I would think Neil should receive explanation. 

Whatever your view of this issue, it should be discussed. The argument that it doesn't mix with sports doesn't wash, because the AFL itself is incorporating it into the games (which I think is a good visible move, and sends a strong, united message to the crowd - although I think Brad Scott's comments re Tarryn were poorly timed and send the wrong/inconsistent message).

Thanks, WCW. I shared BBB's words, particularly his final two paragraphs, on my socials.

Love that man. Good role model. I hope the boys (and their fathers) are listening. 

Please send that man a big hug.
