Off a 5 day break after our game against the Cats.

They've had more frees yet are bronx cheering every free they get as if they are 30 frees down.

Flat track bullies. Would love to play them at the G in Finals.

That was the softest 50 I've ever seen.

There should be a limit to the amount of accessories a player can wear. Cox has glasses, a glove and a mouth guard.

That spot where Bobby Hill slipped is where players have been slipping all season. Too much water?

Shultz was better at the Dockers.

Not checking whether that was touched?

The only restful night was back in September 2021

Some personal news. I wasn’t watching the game last night but was following along with the scores through the AFL app. I was barracking for the Crows to win all night until I checked my Footy Tipping app and realised that I was the only one in my mates competition that tipped the Bombers and a win would put me outright leader. I felt so dirty cheering the Bombers on in the last few minutes, even crediting the umpires for the play on call the gifted the Bombers the win, that I needed to take a shower before going to sleep lest I sully my bed linen.

They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise. Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sims. Oliver is ball handling, required some re-taping after the first drill. McVee, McAdam, and AMW step away from the main squad, and are now with the trainers (light duries, goal kicking and easy laps). Melky joins the main squad. They are now into full field drills. Precise kicking, hard calls, drive the ball through the centre, and run. They rotate through the whole area, goal to goal, and both wings. Structured sims now. 9 against 18. Woey in the backline. Sims finish, and McVee, McAdam, AMW, join the group again. Salem, Spargo do easy, repetitive 200 metres runs. McQualter has them in the middle, chatting away, Chaplin then does some demonstrations. May and Goody chip in. They appear to be getting into the nitty gritty. They break, some continue talking, some off to kick goals (16 of them), others leave the field, the low ball getters as well (Laurie, Vines, Rivers, Howes, Sestan, Woey, Hore). Goody one on one talk with Langdon. Choco with the goal kickers, mainly Fullarton. Then Tracc goes over for some tips but Choco stays with Tom. Oliver on the boundary by himself, sprinting. Now hard running laps. Choco now with Sparrow for some 45 metre goal kicking. Last out there is Petty and over walks Choco to help with his goal style kicking. Takes them from all the angles. Hits most of them. Just noticed Viney, still working with a trainer, as well as Melky and Salem. Oliver still lapping. Oliver after laps, he did some sprints, and more laps. Ended up on his haunches, gathering wind, a trainer comes over and they do a slap handshake. He finishes by picking up the equipment with the crew. It is nearly all packed up, except Salem still running laps. Had a chat to to one of the crew, reckons McVee is fine, just light duties, and they have a main session Sunday out at Casey. Salem and Oliver walk off together.
