I need too get the laundry done could you pick that up and do it.  You seem to have enough time to  do things that are important.  Both the training and the laundry are important.  
 

thanks in anticipation

Dragged my sad n sorry arze off the couch to come here. Really should be at home but I’m meeting my *Gosch’s girls here, didn’t wanna let ‘em down.

*three delightful teenage girls whom I met at Gosch’s in the off-season and who are too shy to ask the players for selfies/autographs therefore need someone with more front than Myer to do it for them and that’s where I come into the picture. 😁

Here’s my comment about training…they trained.

That’s pretty much all I’ve got because I saw Kev there and asked him to do a training report. 😁

I did watch a loooong session of some of the boys taking shots at goal. Two words: Chin Chandler. Nailing shots from the boundary on ridiculous angles, a joy to behold. You don’t need to watch Chin kicking for goal because as soon as it leaves his boot he knows if it’s going through in which case he’s silent. But if it’s not going through be lets loose with a very loud “OH [censored]!!!” 😂

I’m out front of yours right now. Where the hell are you?

Bear in mind I’m PT-ing it. Your laundry basket better be on wheels.

Back in the day we had some deelightful teenage girls in the CS wanting to meat players.  Non too shy if I remember 

maybe these girls are grand daughters of those same girls.   Do any of them resemble old melb players ?

[WalkingCivilWar 39,264]

I met a lovely couple from WA at Gosch’s. It’s their daughter’s eighth birthday and to celebrate they’ve come over for training today and the match tomorrow. Demonland readers but not posters. Just wanted to let you guys know it was awesome to meet you and I apologise for running off suddenly but there were players to annoy. 😝 Enjoy the match tomorrow!

Misty feel about the morning. 

Backs first out with Petty and TMac interacting with them.

Suggest Hunter the sub. Woey was doing plenty of plays.

Setting themselves with slings along the boundary connecting the backs to mids.

From the mid-stoppages to central corridor, the spread out the back.

Kossie is in his own zone.

No need to open the door. I got in through the window. Love what you’ve done with the house.

All good MD. Hard to take a large screen TV on the train anyways.

Unrelated: Soz about leaving your undies drawer in a mess. And you really should open a bank account… it’s much safer.

I wouldn’t mention it since it seems some people believe it shouldn’t have happened. ☹️ 

[WalkingCivilWar 39,264]

Everyone left when the players finished up but I stayed and watched the Casey boys for a bit. Not because I’m a dedicated fan but because my Gosch’s girls are crushing hard on Kolt and wanted to stay and watch him. I thought a Rooey fix would’ve been enough for them, but clearly not. Oh, to be 17 again.

No one in their right mind.  You iron it before you hang it out ...

Have the leaves finished falling yet at GP?

Many thanks

PS Out of interest does the oval suffer from dog droppings or is someone on pre training pooper scooper duty

Oh if only you had been around when I was going to training and was 17 and too shy to talk to the players.  I spent hours not talking to Sean Wight whilst sitting on the picket fence at the G with him after he did his knee (wish I'd talked to him, he always waved to me if he saw me thereafter, think he remains my favourite ever player, even more than Robbie).  Then we moved to the Junction Oval from the G and that was the pits.  Russell Richards and the Febey twins would give me a lift up to the city since they were driving to Seymour and the walk back to St Kilda station was unpleasant.

These days I've got the guts go to talk to people, cos they are people, but I'm also old and married.  And in another country, which makes going to training difficult.
