The main training session this week is this morning at Gosch’s starting at 9:15am and finishing at 10:45am.

This session’s usually at Casey so there mightn’t be many people here, (although it is listed on the website).

I’m hoping Kev and/or Harvey Wallbanger and/or Slarti and/or anyone else who isn’t me turns up coz we all know how observant I am (ie. not in the slightest).

I’ll certainly report any haircuts or new girlfriend info but that’s where it ends 😅

You know it’s not a S&G sesh when the coaches come out before the boys. They’re out here already.

The reason the main session is here and not at Casey is because they fly out this arvo and they’d rather not have to travel to and from Casey before the flight. The main session is always two days before GameDay and it’s at Casey except for when we play interstate, especially when it’s Perth.

Chappy says they prefer having the main session at Casey. I said yeah because it’s a closed session right? He said no it’s because the surface here is sch!tt. Doesn’t mince words does our Chappy. 😅

I asked Tmac if he’s seen the article about his amazing stats in defence. He said Ruby (his wife) showed it to him. I told him how proud of him we all are. He said, “Not bad for an ancient old bugger, hey.” 😅

This guy…

Gee that's a concern given it was only re-done a few years ago!

a winning club has happy players, admin staff, coaches etc all competent and pulling in the same direction. Add in super fit players with a stable base. It’s ALL important. And happy players should make happy supporters. Important game , I hope we remember last year. Go Dee’s

These comments are important. And should not be underestimated. iMO !

I told Maysie it’s all about him and only him today coz May 1 (see what I did there 😁) and he told Max but Max wasn’t haven’t a bar of it. 😂

According to Chappy it’s because so many others use it. He said it’s always slippery too.

Apparently Sandringham also have a bye this weekend so there’s a scratch match between them and Casey at Casey Fields on Saturday.

Luker is in full training. He looks (and feels) great.

Please keep your hands off the players!

Turner in full training and is fine. He said he’ll know in a couple of hours if he’s selected.

Melk good to go 👍🏽

Kev will post his report sometime after 4pm. I hope that’s okay by you @Roost it far

Kev will surely mention absentees and Clarrie was on that list today. I asked Jacob (our club doctor) why Clarrie was a no-show and he said “Now come on Ghosty, you know I can’t tell you that.” I told him that was a crock since he always tells me stuff. He said on this occasion he can’t. That made me think it’s something serious. I said as much and Jacob said we’ll know soon enough why Clarrie wasn’t here.

Feels like this is the first time this season where there’s real competition for spots, especially in the front half. There’ll be some good players left out of the side…

I reckon the dropping of Fritta has something to do with it.

Oh god... hopefully nothing too serious...

He was in training photos from earlier in the week, so must be something that's just come up.

Yep and a healthier injury list.

So the $4m reno taking 12 months is no good?

How did he train?

Is he in any doubt after his ankle roll last week?

TIA.

Melky took a mighty leap over a pack to try to take a speccy.

But the ball dropped out o.f his hands.

He looked in good nick just overall

Sadly being a public park, when we're not on it people get out there practising their golf swings, let their dogs tear it up, etc.

Before 4 is preferred. Kev will need a suitable reason for posting the report late as per Report Standards section 7: timing and deadlines, subsection 3A, page 37, paragraph 4, line 21, “any reports posted later than the 4pm deadline will need to be prefaced with the reasoning behind said reports late posting”
