He loves it though. And isn’t that what matters? His nickname is Trelly, regardless of what others think it should be.

I made reference to Rhino in my training notes re CJ. Do you have a problem with celebration?

Nope! I just had a problem noticing every last thing said on here.

I can do this just off the top of my head! It’s my superpower 🤩 I shall furnish your request this evening, for now I must work. The goddamned money tree in my backyard ain’t yielding like it should.

LOL. That is new and has been updated today. When I posted the link that explanation was not there and McVee, Trac, Clarry and the other traded and delisted players were there.

Pretty cool to see Matthew Scarlett in a Dees kit to be honest 😂

Looks like he’s incognito mode with the hat on. Can see how this was missed by the trackwatchers as the assistants and support staff often blend in with all eyes on the players.

Speaking of training, our CEOs golf game needs some. Saw him tee off today at RMGC on the 7th.

Was a spectacular day, can’t wait for tomorrow.

Sure going to be busy on the 10th at 7.05 😵‍💫😳

Him and Milkshake are amazing, the fitness levels they maintain for guys their age is great. I hope this year they get a high number of games, dropping Tmac last year was a disgrace .

When you are getting to the end of your AFL career, it is vital to be as fit as possible, to help avoid some injuries and give you every chance in contests etc.

Old and unfit gives you no chance.

60km/h Northerly gusts sure is going to make the day difficult.

You’re right, Vines said he’s doing a lot of both stationary bike and pool. And when he wasn’t tapping players’ hands when they came on and off the ground or helping out with the rehab guys he was on the bike.

Heh Ghosty,

I love your reporting and insights.

My Demon loveing mob are returning from Thailand. The boys need Birthday/Chrissy presents.

Is training at Gosch's on Friday?

They're also hungry little 10 & 8 liittle devils /demons. So the snag in a roll is in play!

📆  Friday, December 5
⏰ 10am - 12pm
📍 Gosch's Paddock
🏃‍♂️ Session type: Pre-season training 

I don’t believe there will be snags on the menu at Fridays session.

I believe snags will be on the menu at the following session which might not be a footy training session:

📍 Gosch's Paddock
🏃‍♂️ Session type: Christmas meet and greet

As Andy has explained (above) the sausage sizzle is on Saturday 13th December at 8:30am at Gosch’s.

For Friday’s session hungry little devils/demons will have to make do with food brought from home, or if you’re happy to spend a small fortune food from Edwin’s Cafe (on the outside of AAMI) is pretty good. There’s numerous eateries in Swan Street (a couple of minutes away from Gosch’s) as well as a Coles supermarket.

Last resort: you can get coffee and hot food and snacks from the kiosk at Richmond station. I’d strongly advise against buying a sandwich from there though. I recently warned another track-watcher who’s also a Demonlander and he went ahead and had a sanga and immediately regretted it.

To said track-watcher/Demonlander: I’m not one to say I told you so, but… I did tell you so! 😝

Well I understand your view, but it’s plainly wrong to blame an innocent party.

Champion Data do that job and the football clubs can’t override that as they have no ability to do so.

Re Riley Onley, the name Onley Fans is clever and amusing but imo the players won’t call out to him by that name, unless they shorten it to “Fans.” So far I’ve only heard them call him Riley.

Somebody posted that his nickname is Ron.

It's reassuring that the players have gone with "Whitey" for #34. 😁

Oh, I totally agree. I don’t like the Oi Oi Oi thing, but far be it from me to ask to have it dropped. It’s liked by the majority of the cheer squad.

It's something you'd expect from Collingwood fans, and I can't be more damning than that.
