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.

 No sign of Max. 

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 😅

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.

Can someone be on hospital watch...we need updates of when our stars go in for the surgery they so badly need.

There's probably room in Tom Morris's dumpster, if it's one of this double lid types

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.

That's life (that's life)
That's what all the other supporters say
Dees were riding high in April, shot down in May, June & July
But we know we gonna change their tune
When we’re back on top, back on top in … 

(ummmm I’m stuck to complete lyrics 🤣🤣🤣)

 

… in 2025

@picket fence your boy Jeffo was in a very happy playful mood the whole time, full of energy and smiling like a Cheshire cat. Make of that what you will 😉 

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?

Jesus how did Cale Morton get a game then......

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.

Thanks WCW and all posters greatly appreciated especially the video’s. It’s going to be very interesting watching the boys on Saturday night at the G, hope they are a bit more animated.😁😁

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. 😅

Let’s hope they stay that way WCW.😁

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

Some of the stuff that gets said on these pages is so unsubstantiated and potentially damaging to people's reputations.
