It probably does sound as though they don’t get any training done but of course they do. I chit-chat with them before and/or after the session. Also sometimes when they’re in the tent which is really only meant to be for players but I get to go in because I ran it by both Richo and Goody ages ago and they said it’s fine. I never stay in there for long anyways. And of course, walking back to AAMI usually with Clarrie is my fave time.

Gotta add: the players and coaches are so grateful for the DA. They all know I’m in the cheer squad and they regularly tell me how much they respect and appreciate us. I think this is why they always make me feel welcome. Even their loved ones are grateful. At a session recently a woman came over and said hello. I didn’t know who she was and asked her name. She said she’s Kath, Tmac’s mum. I introduced myself and she said, “Oh I know who you are” and proceeded to praise the DA.  🥰

Awww that's sweet.

I am sure they are, you and the rest of the DA invest a lot of time each week. Treasures - all of you. Thank you :-)

(I was a member of the cheer squad some moons ago. When my littlest one (18m) is a little older and I start bringing him to games - I will very much look to bring him and my eldest (5yo) into the cheer squad to take part as well. Great times with lovely people, for the best club in the world).

I don't think Gus will be involved in anything, will he @WalkingCivilWar?

I hope if he does, that the club makes a massive deal about it, because I reckon you'll get 10,000 more fans there if they know we are getting to farewell Gus properly.

I will of course be there regardless, as will my husband, who is gutted to be losing his favourite player Nibbler 

I doubt Gus will be there, mainly because he can’t cope with very loud noise. Unless this is no longer an issue 🤷‍♀️ Even then, I don’t think he’d be ready yet. Hopefully some time in the not too distant future.

I thought of your husband when this news came to light. Nibs being his fave player has always made me smile. I once told Shazza that you had transformed your Tigers supporting husband into a dedicated Dees man and that his favourite player is Nibs. She was so delighted she slapped me on the back and I’ll never tell her anything good ever again 😂 I’ve likely still got the slap-mark to this day. She’s a slight build but boy she doesn’t know her own strength!

According to Goody's Presser they will be honouring the 64 premiership team as well. Hassa Mann was at the club today talking about his hate for Collingwood.

Join the club Hassa!

This is such an important point.

One of the (many) things that really frustrates me about how footy is covered by the media is the thread of blatant hyprocicy that runs through it.

Take the way clarry's situation has been covered 

Media people love to bang on how great footy clubs are in terms of 'wrapping their arms around' players who are experiencing personal issues. 

But then all season they get stuck into clarry and the club because it's great for clicks.

And give the club very little, if any, kudos for how they have wrapped their arms around claz and support him through what is probably the most difficult period of his young life.

And, similarly don't give claz kudos for his commitment and the work he is doing.

It's particularly galling when it's ex players who are being hypocritical given every one of them would understand how challenging the whole thing us.

Even more galling is the completely disingenuous coverage about all things players struggling with mental health issues.

Actually, disingenuous is being kind. The media is a huge part of the problem and rarely a meaningful part of the solution.

If it bleeds it leads

That’s right… the 60th anniversary of that premiership. ❤️ 💙 

This match is gonna be a big celebration of many things. God, it would mean so much to win this.

I hope it's also a celebration of Maynard getting a well deserved smack down.

Awwww really cool idea PF but there are so many crazies out there that I fear for our safety. Who knows what lurks in the dark and dusty crevices of Demonland?! The ones of whom we are aware are concerning enough, what of the ones we don’t know????

I apologise for being overly cautious but for the last couple of months I’ve been addicted to true crime and it’s at a point where I can’t sleep without first watching a grisly murder. The grislier the murder the better I sleep. True story. Even when sleeping at hotels etc… bedtime murder. And at Mrs Fritta’s house (in Fritta’s old bed). She’s now convinced I’m the reason there’s a ghost in her house. Again… true story.

This has made me super wary of anyone who clearly isn’t in possession of all their marbles, if you know what I mean.

Try watching a grisly murder.  There's usually no bears involved in those.  :D

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    And just like that, we’re Narrm again. Even though the annual AFL Sir Doug Nicholls Round which commemorates the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture to our game has been a welcome addition to our calendar for ten years, more lately it has been a portent of tough times ahead for we beleaguered Narrm supporters. Ever since the club broke through for its historic 2021 premiership, this has become a troubling time of the year for the club. For example, it all began when Melbourne rebranded itself as Narrm across the two rounds of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round to become the first club to adopt an Indigenous club name especially for the occasion. It won its first outing under the brand against lowly North Melbourne to go to 10 wins and no losses but not without a struggle or a major injury to  star winger Ed Langdon who broke his ribs and missed several weeks. In the following week, still as Narrm, the team’s 17 game winning streak came to an end at the hands of the Dockers. That came along with more injuries, a plague that remained with them for the remainder of the season until, beset by injuries, the Dees were eliminated from the finals in straight sets. It was even worse last year, when Narrm inexplicably lowered its colours in Perth to the Waalit Marawar Eagles. Oh, the shame of it all! At least this year, if there is a corner to turn around, it has to be in the direction of something better. To that end, I produced a special pre-game chant in the local Narrm language - “nam mi:wi winnamun katjil prolin ambi ngamar thamelin amb” which roughly translated is “every heart beats true for the red and the blue.” >y belief is that if all of the Narrm faithful recite it long enough, then it might prove to be the only way to beat the Brisbane Lions at the Gabba on Sunday. The Lions are coming off a disappointing draw at Marvel Stadium against a North Melbourne team that lacks the ability and know how to win games (except when playing Melbourne). Brisbane are, however, a different kettle of fish at home and have very few positional weaknesses. They are a midfield powerhouse, strong in defence and have plenty of forward options, particularly their small and medium sized players, to kick a winning score this week after the sting of last week’s below par performance.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
