Yes & he's 29, injury prone, has never played more than 15 games in a season & managed just 7 & 3 senior games in his last 2 seasons.

Definitely not the messiah.

Not even a naughty boy!

    Ps Ghostwriter who was the Bear for?👍😁💕

    I’m not allowed to say, DeeZone. The player in question hasn’t publicly announced the impending birth (which is due in seven weeks or so).

    Wow, unusual to leave it that for an announcement.  Each to their own. All the best to the expecting duo.

    Not sure if this has been brought up on here before but what is the reason for TMac wearing the white lycra (?) top?

    From the image above it seems to be a "crop top" for want of a better word and only covers the arms and chest.

    Sun protection or something else?

    Drag show?

    Tomorrow’s open training at Casey is Part One of the Family Day series which replaces the traditional Family Day.

    There’ll be “a bit of everything” according to  our property stewards, including a match sim comprising four quarters, each of about 12-15 minutes in length.

    Kozzie and Maysie won’t be there because they fly out tonight for the Indigenous all-stars match which is scheduled for Saturday.

    Training tomorrow begins at 3pm and finishes at 6pm. Then there’s half an hour of player engagement: selfies and autographs, etc.

    There’ll be fun stuff for kids to do, partner giveaways (no, not an opportunity to give the missus to someone else, just freebies) and food/coffee vans.

    Unfortunately, no sausage sizzle on this occasion but the DA will have a merch tent set up. Not many can make it there because 3pm on a non-school holidays Friday, but I’ll be there so feel free to come say hello. I’ll be the one in red and blue (DA joke that’s never not funny, to us anyways)

    ❤️💙

    Speaking of what Tmac wears, many won't know that he has what l would call rubberised kicking laces to help with his kicking efficiency. Hes also known to trial afl approved clear rubber grib pads over the laces of his boots for the same reason. Others are doing similar

    My partner’s watching the show as we speak

    I'm having flashbacks to a documentary I saw as a teenager on late-night SBS. It was about a 'hippie island' refuge in a German city, and was interviewing all kinds of strange people with their crystals and chakras and 'alternative medicine'. This is so long ago, yoga wasn't even a thing.

    I don't think I'll ever forget the 'anti-condom campaigner' who earnestly believed that the best way to prevent, treat, and even cure STDs (including HIV) was to, in effect, turn yourself upside down and 'gargle' a large dose of iodine in your [censored].

    So, uh, yes, please use sunscreen. In the medically recommended manner.

    I went to the beach the other week (rare for me despite living in Syd) and got quite roasted despite 2 applications of sunscreen.  Think I'm in the market for a burkini 😅

    I have been reading these posts for the last 6 months occasionally - and then frequently - and I have finally decided to join in. I've been a Demons supporter from 2016. I'm originally from NSW and have lived here for 15 years and started to get into footy down here. I fell hard!!! I've found this forum a real pick me up as I've been away from home for the last 6 months. Looking at it from the outside, I've always found GW to be the glue keeping everyone together. I'm glad she's back and I look forward to more of her reports as I love them. I also love everyone's passion on here. Pleased to meet you all!

    Not gonna repeat this again. Three times is two times too many. In fact not gonna post for a while. [censored] if I’m gonna let anyone insult me when I’m trying my best to relay things as they’re happening while there’s so much else going on. So go ahead and doubt anything or even everything I say.

    Good to hear from you mate and I do agree.

    NSW Dees fans are as real as they come.

    I think I know who and understand the reasons for holding off - and if so, that's wonderful news. Please send positive thoughts. If I am wrong, of course, I still send those positive thoughts, just in a different direction. Please redirect as necessary haha. Love me a good news story, can't wait to hear the good news in 7 weeks or so ❤️

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
