Firstly congrats to Daisy on the birth of her twins. I noticed on the instagram post that Daisy put up today being the 18th that the twins were born on the 15th and then I remembered some commentary in the last quarter by Bec Goddard congratulating Daisy but then weirdly sorta of backing it up and mentioning the upcoming birth. Had it been announced at the time of the game and I missed it? Or was Bec not supposed to have revealed it and quickly backtracked? Am I looking for a conspiracy where none exists? Anyway congrats to Daisy and her partner Ben.

I wonder if behind closed doors means inside/another venue away from prying eyes or don't come and spy on our super secret game plan being practiced on an open field.

+10000 It's the same tiresome bores that take umbrage with Saty. I'm bound to a desk and I love the training reports and can filter out the fugazi.

The current logo looks like it is just covering up the old AHG logo.

Where's the announcement? I thought there was supposed to be a press conference this morning? The club fired out a couple of quickfire tweets with Maxy saying Stay Tuned and nadda since.

They're not out of the woods yet. They could still be co-opted by the AFL if they're deemed fully fit and the other teams wise up to our strategy and pull players.

Jetta and Gawn

I think that they should move this practice match to the 'G.

Found it.

I don't know why the media keep harping on this: Given the dominance of Gawn, it was strange that North Melbourne back up ruckman Braydon Preuss was so keen to get to the Demons. Even more so given Kangaroos big man Todd Goldstein is in the twilight of his career, while Gawn has years ahead of him. Preuss has put it on the record that he believes he and Gawn can play in the same team, just like the Eagles premiership duo of Scott Lycett and Nathan Vardy did in 2018. But if it ain’t broke, why fix it? I simply cannot wait til the Gawn/Preuss tag team shuts these clowns up.

Yeah it is Fugazi but it beats the hell out of the negative [censored] we've endured for a decade. Also better than all the false dawns we've had. This feels completely different. Can we win a cup? [censored] I hope so.

I've been very impressed with Steven May and I cannot wait to see him run out in the red and blue come Round 1. Kudos to the recruitment staff for getting this done now before the vultures swooped. We got a huge asset to our backline and the team. Didn't know he was a pilot to boot. Another tick from me.

In other news the sky is still blue. Take 2010 out of the equation and we easily win this one. Still would be a hollow victory.

Why? All reports about him so far have been extremely positive even the non-rose coloured reports. Sure it's pre-season training and everyone's up and about and training the house down but he could does fill a necessary hole for us and looks capable. Proof will be in the pudding. I'm certainly looking forward to the JLT series to see what he can do. Hopefully he'll make the cut for Round 1 and from there we'll see.
