I arrived here at Gosch’s about 20 mins ago only to discover they’ve changed the starting time from 11:45 to 1pm. 😑 And the session only goes for 30 minutes  

If anyone is on their way here… take your sweet time. And bring an umbrella and hand warmers 👍🏽

    Apparently they moved the training start time to 1pm because the players “have something on tonight.” 🤷‍♀️ 

    Anyways, I’ll try to take vids again but since it’s raining steadily, there might be only one. Ideally I’d film the boys coming over from AAMI and then we’d know who’s here and who isn’t, but it’s hard to film in the rain while holding an umbrella, not to mention jumping up and down like a 5yo telling each player individually that I love him. 😂😂😂

    when was spargo last seen?

    Good question.  

    Maybe travelling around the world in a vain search for the River Styx

    I’m expecting a track watcher to report that Max Gawn turned up, threw away both crutches and declared himself fit for Saturday night.

    Make it happen.

    Thank you for the training PSA @WalkingCivilWar, I had intended to bring the kids to training today, I may not have made it home in one piece if I hadn’t have read your post before dragging them out!

    I haven’t watched these but as usual apologies for the quality of them, for the camera shakiness (numb hands) and for the occasional thumb over the lens or prolonged closeup of the grass. 😁

    I’m proud to say that I stood quietly by a tree like an adult and filmed the boys coming across from AAMI, until I saw Kolt and I stopped filming coz I can’t film and hug the cr@pp outta him at the same time  😂

    They were all in their original team guernseys. Vomit alert: Marty is in an Essendon jumper. LOL alert: Bowser in what looks like his older brother’s jumper, making him look even smaller.

    PS: I asked Cream/Fullo/Tommy if he’ll be getting a guernsey this week. He said he hopes so and he’ll find out tomorrow at training (Casey).

    I took this pic to show his mum. He’s wearing the #35 Coldstream jumper which he wore for all his time playing for them, and which his dad wore and which his brother now wears. He actually was hoping for #35 when we drafted him but they’d already given it to HP.

    WCW up here we’re great admirers of your commitment to the cause and most appreciative of your training reports etc. Therefore we wish to nominate you as a deserved recipient of a DL ‘Golden Ticket’. Not exactly sure of what the prize 🏆 looks like?  Leave that up to Roald, Andy & Co. But definitely expecting the ‘boys’ to get the chocolates this Saturday night.

    Thanks WC. 

    Warning:  Be prepared for some flac when using the nic 'Fullo' as it apparently means (according to at least one DL contributor) that you rate him as a proven player who should always be in the starting 22.

    P.S.  You may also want to avoid sitting alongside 'the DA Bullseye' in future to avoid becoming a potential target due to the above!

    You haven’t posted a training report in ages. It’s about time you got off your @rse and started sharing the load. 😁

    Unfortunately it’s unlikely Richo will open the gates to spectators tomorrow, according to one of the property stewards. But that’s never gotten in the way of you furnishing a comprehensive report, so… get to it!!!

    I actually refer to him as ‘Cream’ because that’s what the boys call him. When talking to him, it’s ‘Tom’. ‘Fullo’ is a name I saw being used on here. I didn’t know there was a meaning behind it.

    Depending on from where a set shot is being taken, the target can be anywhere in the cheer squad, so there’s no avoiding sitting alongside it.

    Incidentally, I don’t understand the connection between ‘Fullo’ and our target. 🤔

    Just don't use the term 'fullo' and you won't have to worry about becoming one!  The DLander was adamant it was a very bad nic and should never be used apparently as it infers he is a gun player 🤷‍♂️ 😄

    Thanks WCW for putting yourself out there in such inclement weather and the great training videos, found it difficult to pick some out in their original colours also all posters, keeps it real and enjoyable, great that even the kids love Chokko.

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
