The big question this arvo is who will Ghosty hug first. Mind you, not everyone is on my hug list. I’m discerning.

Okay the boys are out here now. Understandably, the mood is awesome! The boys are doing drills (with oval balls!) on the other side of the ground while admin staff are playing dodge ball right in front of me and how I wish I had some popcorn right now coz I just KNOW someone’s about to make a complete arze of themselves.

Seems Marty Hore is the only rehabber out here

Now the boys are playing dodge ball, bloody hilarious. Tracc is ridiculously competitive, and Harves just as much.

Now it’s down to the two finalists: Chin and the Bison.

Chin’s the winner!

Oh this is cruel… they’re making Chin go back the middle by himself to see who can hit him.

And it’s Jai who delivers the final blow.

Ch. 9 and ABC interviewing Ricky Lever right now. My newest buddy Lexie (ABC reporter) is asking him questions of which I fully approve. 😝

 

You are a gem Ghosty. The sooner the club makes you assistant to the new CEO's assistant - the better off we'll all be.

Xavier Lindsay training Ghosty?

Yes and his throat is fine


Another beautiful day at Gosch's.

Absent today: Spargo, Jefferson and Sparrow

Rehab: Hore, but movement looks good.

With Selwyn: Viney, Woey and then Lindsay for a bit. Woey seems to be carrying a lower leg injury from Saturday? We are wondering if Lindsay is being monitored because of that high shot he took in the last quarter.

We'll know soon enough when the injury report comes out.

Great to see such a healthy list at the moment. Full training session tomorrow at Casey.

As Ghosty reported there was an "all staff" presence today and a very upbeat mood. As usual Clayton got the biggest hug!

😂 So last Friday at Gosch’s Chocco asked if he could take a photo of me. I asked what it was for and as can be imagined all manner of rude jokes ensued. But he never did tell me why.

Today after training he told me why he wanted the pic. On Sunday before the match he gave a talk to the playing group. I’m not sure what the theme was but Chocco had an accompanying slide show which included the pic he’d taken of me. He said some of the boys called out, “Hey, that’s Ghosty!” (not her real name 😁). Bless.

And if you think I’m not gonna credit the win to this you’d be sadly mistaken. 😂

Beautiful afternoon, the joy, relief and with a sense that they are in it. 35 players in full training.

"They know Sydney is never easy", I heard someone say.

Quite a few in runners.

Viney looks eager and refreshed, not wearing the training singlet.

Lindsay was back to AAMI after a short time.

Marty is getting close, doing some hard change of directions and in boots.

Structured warm-up, then the dodgeball (plenty of camaraderie) with the Admins as ball throwers until those hit joined the throwers. Some of our players with gusto to ping the last standing. Finished with goal kicking. Williams got them all kicking over the mannequins within the 45° and from 35m out. A few kept this, Sharp, Tracc, Chandler and a few others taking it seriously for the entire time.

Goody got round to Tracc, Oliver and Lindsay. He also followed them around during the warm-ups.

They are a happy lot at the moment.

So, first of all soccer balls and now they are training to get out of the road of the balls. I shakes me head.

You'll be pleased to hear they couldn't do it.

@whatwhat say what just wanted to let you know that a different ch. 9 reporter was there today (Joel) and a different cameraman (Shane) and I told them that clearly ch. 9 employs nice people only. But I added, “Except for Tom Morris.” Joel exclaimed, “But Tom’s a mad Demons supporter!” I said that I’d been told Tom barracks for the story. Both Joel and Shane, after having a laugh at that, said Tom is indeed a loyal Melbourne supporter. As I was leaving I said, “Trent last week and you today, Joel… when is it Tom’s turn?” Joel said, “Probably never!”

😂

A big thanks to Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and Kev Martin for the great reports and all posters for the humorous thread today, greatly appreciated.

Just a heads up Kev, I’m currently in Lombok so I’ll need reports no later than 1.30 to allow for the time difference. The 4 o’clock deadline is and always will be 4 o'clock in my Timezone. If you could pass that onto Mr. Wallbanger that would be appreciated.

Noted RIF. Selwyn's injury report has just dropped and the good news is that (barring anything untoward this week) Lindsay, Lever and Viney should all be available for selection for Sunday.

That leaves only Mary Hore on the injury list - listed as 3-4 weeks, but we reckon he'll be available sooner than that. We are MIGHTY HEALTHY at the moment.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
