Fritta and Turner

Or like me at the midnight fire works...

Another lovely day at the track with a good collection of track watchers. Kossie, Verrall, Kentfield, Kolt, Woey not in attendance. Lever, Spargo, Melky, Chin, McAdam, Fullarton, Trac in rehab or a modified program. Lever went back to the 'sheds' for awhile then came back to ride the bike next to melky. Chin much better since last I saw but still feeling shoulder. Trac had the trainer lying on top of him, then got up, win the ball and do some dodging and weaving. Campbell gives Max a real contest in the ruck. TCs body looking more AFL and Max was moving the best i have seen this preseason Fritta and Turner looked magnificent, naturally. Our talls, Roo and jeffo looking good. Roo seems to have his mojo back. Billings really stood out, with his run and linkage play. Langford should play round 1. Clarry puts on half a litre of sunscreen at every opportunity. And always doing something with his boots. Jai Culley looked good, got the appaluse of his team mates. Had a slight problem with a blister. Noah Yze was also there with another unknown. Noah has reasonably broad shoulders but skinny arms. No sausages.

Like the Dees of 15 years ago. Nothing they seem to do improves on what they already have. Not prepared to take a risk and cannot seem to work out a strategy for going forward. I wonder if the board is factionalised. Anyway, ask again after round 6.

And what has he got on that farm?

Move like Jeffo, makings of a song....

We dont get to read much then....hope springs eternal

In reference to the AGE article, so Chin just has a 'flesh wound' and Spargo is malingering?

Yep May definitely shouldnt have played in the GF. Salem is always going to be injury prone so he never comes back... No point in having everyone cherry ripe and not playing in the finals.

In December Goody called the players together and said 'Now Chins going to address the group on the next drill'.

or Sesso

Yes and No

Yes

Fritta trained in a yellow vest.

Happy New Year everyone. A slight cool wind but after the last days heat a welcome relief. GhostWriter putting in a solid performance at the sausage sizzle. Dominated at the till. Players out on the track at 9.30. Didnt see Sparrow, Kozzie and Kentfield. Kynan doing rehab then joined in with the main group. Chin has a troublesome right arm/shoulder but can still run Spargo, TMc, McVee, Kolt in rehab doing handball drills. After, Kolt ran with Chin. Max aint getting any quicker. Jeffo trained like he thought he belonged. Confidence is up. To me some players at training seem to be invisible but today I give a nod to Adams, Sesso and Howes. May has an incredible physical presence. Intimidating. Mentha and George looked good, quick to turn the other way. Fritta trained in a yellow vest. Kids love Tracca and lots of them were there. Obviously we are looking for quick ball movement with one of the drills being to move the ball on in 3 seconds. If the vibe of the group is anything to go by then some of last years issues have dissipated. Steven Smith in attendance. I ate 2 sausages.

Funny you should say that. At training today I thought Jeffo finally looked like he belonged, and trained like it.

Thanks the zero hanger definition is a touch ambiguous as they left out 'at the start of the season'. Players are required to be under 21 years of age as of January 1, 2025 and must have played no more than 10 career games at the start of the season to be eligible for the Rising Star.

From the article the eligibility criteria is : Players are required to be under 21 years of age as of January 1, 2025 and must have played no more than 10 career games already to be eligible for the Rising Star. This means Tholstrup is eligible provided he doesnt play a game. 😁

Demolition work has started on the new school site.

Which one?

Most of the current board only joined in 2020 or after; none of the current board were there in 2018; Pert is gone

Um where do you get them? Any of disco?

Merry Christmas everyone. Looking forward to the new year. Go Dees.

Nice try but no cigar. If the MFC dont have access through the tunnel, the major vehicle access point to the inside of the course, then neither will the MRC. Furthermore the Trust leasing out a piece of land that no one can access is an interesting idea. Whats next?

Don't disagree with that, though it does depend on how you pitch it (AFLW, Umpiring?) and what benefits to the local community are included. I always thought this proposal would pass/fail on the $$$. I am impressed that the club is committing $15 mil already and raising $10 mil from supporters - I think I have got that right?

Or more importantly where are the conspiracy theories about Salem and that suit, is Tom Sparrow on the outer, whats with the shades Angus, and who are those faces in the background above Clarries head. (And if you listen to the audio of the GF backwards it clearly states that Tracc will marry in the gardens). Believe it or not. What are they putting in the eggnog these days. All the best Tracca
