Anyone who’s heading over to Gosch’s this morning should keep in mind that this ISN’T an open training session. It may be cancelled or relocated without notice (this even applies to open sessions) so please don’t be mad at me if this happens. By all means be mad, just not at me. 😃

    I understand a portable "Great Wall of China" has been erected around the perimeter to keep snoops out! Seriously how can you police not an open session at Gosch's ???

    Yeah nah, not looking promising. The truck’s not here, the marquee’s not up. Maybe they’re starting later, who knows 🤷‍♀️ 
     

    If there’s no session here, me and my Gosch’s crew might head over to the other oval and see if Collingwood are training. If so, anyone got any message they’d like passed on to any Collingwood player? And by passed on I mean rudely screamed at.

    I don’t think a verbal message is needed, just drop off a truck load of pickle juice. They will get it.

    Ghosty   given your "closeness" to players and trainers and stuff,  Can't you get on the players general email training notification sms list.

    Like is not as if you are going to broadcast it to all the other clubs training spies,  then you get the info direct when the players get it.  Enjoy your day this afternoon.

    Good chance they are in at the meeting,  studying the GWS game in detail, getting the roles established. 

    We will have a strategic advantage over their early physical preparation. 

    They will hit the paddock post lunch.

    I apologize for speaking before Ghostwriter has had a chance to respond, but I don’t think she should be asked to do stuff that would compromise the trust the entire football department has for her. We benefit from her great relationship with players already. Let’s leave it at that.

    I have the phone numbers of the property manager and one of his volunteers, which is way more useful than the players and even the coaches. They know stuff-all about when/where sessions are right up until the night before. I’ve actually had players ask me where their next session is. True story. 😂

    As for today, this was a last minute change. The property guys let me know at 9:15am which was when the session was to begin. That’s nice of them but would’ve been great to have known before I got there 😭

    Didn't some irate Richmond supporter years ago get a truckload of manure dropped outside Richmond headquarters? It wouldn't be original but it'd be a heartfelt message I'm sending the Filth.

    Back here at Gosch’s. They’re already out on the park. They’re playing soccer, red vs blue. They’re serious but having a blast  

    Kolt and Luker kick-to-kick under the watchful eye of Chocco, except not watchful for the past 15 minutes while he was chatting to me. 😅

    Marty is practicing tackling with Keith the physio. 
     

    LOL Claz just kicked a goal and the celebration was wild, just like in real soccer games. I’m not 100% sure but he dropped to his knees and I think he kissed the turf.

    Practising goal kicking and what a shame no Koz for the first few rounds.

    Jeffo slotting them. As is Roo. And Claz. 
     

    wow. Shortest session ever. They’re slowly going back to the rooms already

    What’s Kozzy’s body language like ? Noticed he unfollowed the club on instagram again, wondering if he seems a bit checked out or not, particularly with two of his closest mates AMW and Shane out for the year as well

    I knew he had unfollowed the Dees a while ago. Did he re-follow them again only to unfollow them a second time?

    Interestingly he follows these two clubs.

    Praying the Dogga rumours are true so we don’t get absolutely fleeced when he requests a trade this off season 🙏

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
