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 😃

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

    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.

    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.

    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...

    Did Richo kick WCW out of Gosch’s?

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

    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

    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!”

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

    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 😑

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

    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. 🤣

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
