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.

Annual SA Golf trip? nothing wrong with catching up with mates but best for all without media present.

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)

Or you could take advice from Instagram that sunscreen gives you cancer so don’t use it. Simply jump in the Speedo’s and off to the beach

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

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 😅

3pm on a Friday in Casey? It's almost like they don't want people to attend.

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!

Omfg am I being pranked? Cannot believe how big a deal this has become. AT FIRST THEY WERE FLANKING HIM HOLDING HIS ELBOWS. AS THEY NEARED THE BOUNDARY THEY PUT HIS ARMS AROUND THEIR SHOULDERS.

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.

GW out. 

You remind me of someone who used to post on this site.....

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 ❤️
