I suspect the mood will be a little somber this morning. It usually isn’t after a big loss, but this week feels different.

On the bright side, it’s not cold at all today, I have sensation in my hands which is always a good thing. And I’m sure it won’t rain because I remembered to bring an umbrella (it only rains when I don’t) 😭

No sign of the sun coming out so no excuse for cr@ppy quality vids. But we all know they’ll be cr@ppy nonetheless. 😝

If there are any other DL-ers here, please do us all a favour and furnish a training report. TIA 😘

Little known fact - its inventor wanted to call it a "brella", but hesitated at the Patents Office.

Pup running along the boundary. I asked if he’s rehabbing and he said “No, I’m just topping up.” I nodded as though I understand what that means but in reality I have nfi

I'm guessing he means building his tank. There's a bit of science around doing long slow (relative) runs to build fitness and endurance and young pup's tank clearly isnt there yet.

Sounds a little like you want him to debut. I never would’ve known.

I told JA26 that he’s grown significantly taller since the last time we spoke (about three weeks ago). He said he actually has noticed it himself and that he’s gonna measure himself and get back to me (bless him 🥹). But as I walked away I thought maybe it was HP35 I’d been speaking to three weeks ago 😅

 No sign of Max. 

His ankle looked 3 times its normal size on Friday.

Maybe, just maybe, the big guy can take an early mark and rest before the whole limb falls off.

Gee it must be tough to turn up to training and face the media for the players

We've gone from top 4 in round 8 to season over in round 20. A horrible few months

Put time into the youngsters, get the hunger ramped up for next season

I'd send him on holidays now. Big preseason.

I was told by a reliable source that the club would love to play Jeffo for the last few games but they have serious concerns. These are that they feel his arms are not big enough for the average demonland supporter.

Thanks as always WCW!  ❤️💙
From your vids, the intensity seemed very ‘low key’ ……… reminiscent of a captain’s run, but with very little enthusiasm or chatter.  Was the (seeming) lack of intensity typical of the whole session (?), or was it just a symptom of the bits you picked up on film?

It’s fair to assume that even the most positive player would understand that the deck is stacked against them playing finals.

Given the whole preseason theme was about redemption and playing finals, that would be a difficult pill to swallow.

The mood probably reflects that to a degree.

The entire session was pretty chill. Not despondency or despair or anything like that, just not as fast-paced and energetic as usual. Very relaxed, like a team who knows they’re not playing finals. But also like a team who knows it’s not the end of the world and that there’s a ton of hope for next season. That’s the vibe I got and it was confirmed by a couple of chats I had with some of the boys (individually). I’ve said it before but the kids are so honest. They’ve yet to learn to only tell a fan what they wanna hear and to keep it brief. 😅

Coaches gave him instructions and drills to learn to run 20m without tackling someone as it gets awkward in the office.

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
