TRAINING: Sunday June 9th 2024

[WalkingCivilWar 39,264]

Captain’s run - or as I like to call it - sch!ttts n giggles - is at Gosch’s this morning. Well, I hope it is since I’m almost there.

If there’s nobody else from DL here and therefore no training report, ima just take a lot of pics and vids so as I don’t have to stress about who’s here and who’s in rehab etc. I trust that’ll suffice 😃

[WalkingCivilWar 39,264]

All good. They’re setting up now. And I’m equipped with my two essentials…

[Older demon 2,674]

Well done WCW considering how cold and wet it is. Much appreciated and due to some hand surgery I am limited car wise.  Many can live vicariously at track watch through your eyes. 

I hope you know what the selected team is before it is announced. I hope they don't sign a non-disclosure agreement.

[Earl Hood 6,061]

Given Casey plays this arvo, everyone training this morning will be in the team plus an emergency or 2. Just let us know who is or isn’t there from last weeks 23 please. 

[BDA 22,306]

You're a trooper @WalkingCivilWar

[Demon Jim 149]

How come when you play on a Monday there seems to be no timeframe for naming a team? Given the games' tomorrow I thought they would have had to announce a team by late yesterday... 

[Dee Zephyr 19,174]

Did Richo kick WCW out of Gosch’s? 
 

[Viney Dancer 42]

They seemed happy and relaxed. Choco (firmly) advising Disco and Petty on their marking. Was that Kynan Brown with a fresh haircut? 👀

Oh isn't winter in Victoria fun. 

[WalkingCivilWar 39,264]

Noticeable absentee: Luker 🤔 

 

Not the best vids since it’s hard to hold an umbrella and film at the same time. Hopefully I captured everyone who was there (figuratively, not literally 🙃).

Players, again

Players, yet again

You guessed it… 

Apologies in advance if I’ve posted one of these twice, double the apologies if thrice. 🤭

Pfft I’d like to see him try. I’d have Richo laid out cold before he could yell out “Security!”

Kynan’s haircut is soooo two weeks ago 🙄

Was fritta there and was anyone holding an umbrella for him so he doesn't get his hair wet?

[WalkingCivilWar 39,264]

While I was taking this pic Salo said, “There she is.” Idk if that’s a good or a bad thing 😅

He wore a Big Freeze beanie the whole time. Even I had trouble recognising him 😂

This is the best training report we've had on Demonland.  I can pretend I'm there while remaining cosy in my bed in Sydney!

Also, thanks for foregoing the dryness and warmth of your own home to get to Gosch's!

Was JVR training? I cant spot him in the vids? I can see Howes and Laurie anyone else who did not play last week have a run?

I can’t feel my fingers and my toes are well on their way to following suit. I’m staring down the barrel of hypothermia but don’t worry about me, DP. You just pull your doona over your shoulder and enjoy having sensation in your extremities 👍🏽

Thank you for your sacrifice!!  But you've just dodged one painful end, so please try and dodge hypothermia! Maybe ask Clarry for some tips on how to regain feeling in your fingers?

JvR definitely trained. He looked perfectly fine, not hampered in any way at all. I’d be shocked if he isn’t in the side for tomorrow

Clarrie clearly had other things on his mind. I asked him how are you and he said, “starving!” 😁

Speaking of a painful end, I just sat in a puddle on a bench. Not drops of water… an actual puddle. And now my ‘end’ is threatening to join the Let’s Deprive Her Of All Feeling list. The things one does for one’s Club 😑

[Nascent 8,652]

Think I spotted Howes, Turner, Billings, Laurie and K Brown in those videos. Maybe k Brown as carry over emergency?

Special thanks to @WalkingCivilWar

Maybe you can borrow a hoodie from one of the boys... shouldn't do much for your 'end' but may reignite some feeling elsewhere 😂😂

Bloody hell it looks cold! I’m at the airport about to fly down, I haven’t packed for the conditions…..

Oh they’d be toasty warm inside AAMI Park right now, I’d say. Training wrapped up ages ago. Meanwhile I just got on the wrong train at Flinders Street thus prolonging my numbness. Was distracted by texting with another DL-er who [censored]-canned my track watching skills (or lack thereof) so I’ll tell him publicly what I told him privately… GFYS. 🤣
