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.

    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 ❤️

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
