Cold and wet so probs not many turning up. I’m a bona fide winter person so I’m loving this weather ☔️ 

I’m meeting up with seven (SEVEN) teenage girls aka my protégés. I’m building my own girls’ footy team 😁so I can’t guarantee a proper report. LOL like I usually do 😂

Vids coming shortly. 👍🏽

    Captain’s run is always a short session. They came out at 9:45 and were done by 10:20.

    Poor bastards… the closest they came to having spectators was when me and my gaggle of girls were walking past them and we slowed down ever so slightly and glanced at them.

    A lot of set shot practicing today.

    Also, Kozzie was with two trainers practicing crumbing in the goal square. They’d get the ball to him low to the ground, dribbling (the ball, not the trainers 😅) and he’d scoop it up and snap at goal. Even though it was just training, it was a joy to watch. He was mesmerising.

    Anyways, the usual apologies for the quality of these vids. And muting them may be best since my girls do luvs them some chitter chatter. 🤗

    Looked like some transition practice.  Accuracy might win/lose the game, so good on them for practicing.  Well done WCW and your merry band!

    That was inadvertently snarky of me 😂 good one for reading into it like that though Saty!

    Well no it seems certain that FullArton will never get a game.  If not now, when?  And Schache.

    So Petty, JVR and Turner will be carrying the ruck duties.  Petty with a recovering ankle / foot / calf problem, JVR our most valuable tall forward, and Turner the hybrid utility tall I guess.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
