Where to begin?

Firstly Maysie was here but didn’t train. I was talking to Chocco who told me No Spaz, No Leb this week. He said Leb is probs right to play but they’re “looking after him for next year.” Then he said, “Maysie’s looking good though.” I said, “Will he be playing this week?” He says, “Should be. Here we go, let’s see what he thinks!” Maysie happened to be approaching us. Chocco says, “WCW here wants to know if you’re playing on Friday. Maysie very eloquently said, “fckn oath I am!!!” 😂

I was chatting with Keith (Tracc’s physio). We talked about how happy the boys were to have Tracc there today. He agreed and said, “And Christian is just as happy to be with them.” We talked about how quickly things can turn 180 degrees and basically who’da thunk?! He obviously didn’t tell me details of this morning’s team meeting but he didn’t have to… another guy who’d be cr@p at Poker. 😁

Then I told him how awful it is that Tracc being here probs won’t even make the news since it’s a good news thing. Keith pointed to a reporter being filmed reporting on the session. He dared me to tell them what I think about their gutter journalism. Not one to ever back down from a challenge, I did exactly that. The reporter’s name is Adrian and he’s with channel 10. Spewing it wasn’t Tom Morris, but then I would’ve been the top news story tonight for all the wrong reasons. 🤪 He said they were gonna meet with their producer etc. and work out which way to approach the reporting. Fear not fellow Demonlanders, Adrian was told in no uncertain terms how WE believe today should be reported. And if I’m not mistaken, I believe he may’ve peed his pants a little. I may be small, but [censored] with my team and I’m effectively 10 feet tall.

Speaking of height, no Claz today so I walked to AAMI with KFW. I asked him what his official height is and he said he still hasn’t been measured but he thinks he’s 6ft10 😳 He said when he stands next to Max he feels like he’s the same height as him, “sometimes a little taller.” Again… 😳 And yes, I said that might just be because of his hair coupled with Max’s lack of.

Finally, when everyone had left Tracc was lightly jogging/walking  around the boundary with Selwyn. As he passed I said, “Hey Tracc, just want you to know we all love you.” He said, “Cheers, thanks for that.” with a smile that could stop world wars. Then I met another spectator who reads DL but doesn’t post, a lovely lady, We chatted for a bit and in that time Tracc came past again. I said, “Hey Tracc, just want you to know nothing’s changed since I last told you… we still all love you.” He laughed and said, “Awesome! See you next lap.” 😂

In summary, a fantastic session. The mood was incredibly good. The quiet achiever aka Goody had a look of pride on his face that was heartwarming and I hope to keep seeing it.

    Tell Keith the next you see him that he looked better in purple.

    You are a national treasure.

    I will tune into channel 10 news for the first time in a decade to see Adrian quivering as he delivers the news that the MFC is the happiest place on earth.

    Ummmm who is Spaz?

    😂 Tommy Sparrow. I personally don’t like calling him Spaz but his mum told us that’s been his nickname for a long time and he won’t hear of changing it.

    I see Sesto in the back of that video? Any info on why he didn’t play for Casey on the weekend?

    VFL guys still on deck? Obviously the young guys have to be but if I was BBB, Hunter or Schache and not getting a fair well I’d skip the training.

    Melbourne fan threatens reporter for saying bad things about her club. Coriander was exchanged. Things got nasty.

    Tom Morris over and out.

    They were there. BBB was on the stationary bike and had one knee strapped. Weasel (Schache) trained. No sign of Hunter but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t there. He’s proved to be the invisible man of late.

    Sad hugs for BBB. What an incredible human being he is. Awkward hugs with Jeffo since I reflexively recoiled when I felt how sweaty he was. 🤭

    Will he report on the scary looking lady that approached him during filming? 🤣🤣

    Apologies to @dazzledavey36 who said the boys call Judd “Silk” to which I replied “No they don’t, they call him Knuckles.” The large-knuckled boy himself said he gets called both names, he likes both names and wait for it… he doesn’t mind either name, he’s just “happy to be in the team.” Blesssssss 🥹 I can sense Luci tearing up right now. 😁

    So I'm led to believe Tracc is staying and all is right in the world? If so he really needs to come out and say it.

    I wonder if he's on afl360 anytime soon. That would be worth the price of admission

    Leb sans moonboot. He’s rapt to have given it the boot (see what I did there?!) He’s one on one with a physio.

    No Spaz here. He’s now in a moonboot and won’t be playing on Friday.

    Chin running laps around the boundary  

    Tracc also one on one with a physio. 

    The boys are absolutely loving it that he’s here. Like, really really happy. A lot of laughing and mucking around with him. Judging by this the team meeting went very well.

     

    Surely we have more than one moonboot??

    Although it could explain why Maxy had to get out of the moonboot so early. 🤔
    And thanks, I think I now know why so many people are commenting about herbs. I think.

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
