No, I had a black eye and bruised knees, and Mrs Frittata was in a moonboot and sling. So I guess she’s the one doing it incorrectly. But at least she’s doing it, amirite 😂

Sweet. But be sure you’ve got your censorship rules sorted. We make Gordon Ramsay sound like Mother Teresa. 😁

Yeah nah this is where the wheels fell off. If it’s decorum you seek, best you look elsewhere. Unless your definition of decorum is the complete opposite, in which case we’re your gals. Just one example: at the B&F, we snuck out onto the terrace, dragged a huge pot-plant to the corner to hide behind and had a cigarette directly under the “No Smoking” sign. Hashtag badass. Just to add to the spectacle: in the days leading up to that night we’d both had separate accidents. I was sporting a shiner and bruised knees, she was in a moonboot and her arm was in a sling. Yep, all class. 😁

Sounds good, Tim. Yesterday we were just blowing the cobwebs out and weren’t in full voice since not everyone was there. We already have the “Gaaawwwnnny” slow chant but have yet to make a Brodie one. My theory is because the DA guys are all hardcore man-crushing on Brodie, their faculties have temporarily forsaken them rendering them unable to create a new chant just yet. I’ve not seen this level of overt man-love since Jonesy played. Maysie gets a little, but Brodie has them all mesmerised. 😁🙃😝

Sistine Chapel-worthy

No, no, no, Picket! He has to bang the door down. Houses get trained down not banged down. Sunday morning mixed metaphors vibes 😁 PS: re a live PF training report from Casa De FRITTATA, howsabout Saturday morning while hangovers are being nursed you can write up a report on the back deck? But only if you’re prepared to spend (minimum) two hours or so throwing floaty dog toys into the pool for big ol’ Oscar the pooch to retrieve. Heads up: this dog is indefatigable.

It might be YOUR last comment on this. It’s not mine. I can tell you with full confidence that one of the reasons the Club is keeping Fritta’s injury details quiet is to prevent opposition players from targeting him. As I mentioned before, Clarrie told me HIMSELF that this happens. I’m inclined to believe Clarrie. Aren’t you?

Still 40 mins to start time and this is already a big crowd. People streaming in steadily. The atmosphere is already awesome!

And nailing them!

You haven’t seen it happen? Well then that must mean it never happens.

The Club are under absolutely NO obligation to inform fans of the nature of injuries. What’s there to gain from publicising it?

It’s dirty play. I saw Clarry’s scar (uncovered) and was shocked at how long and deep it was. I asked him if he’s worried about it being targeted and he said, “pfft, of course!” I should’ve given him a stupid question alert. 😂

Think… Clarry’s thumb.

Great post, Luci. 👏 Incidentally, the Fritta knee thing is true. He sustained an injury during a training session when Greg Stafford accidentally flattened him. He had surgery immediately upon season’s end.

… too bad that ridiculous thread is no longer available, huh. 🙄 edit: sorry NeveroddoreveN… I was up most of the night working in order to free up time for today’s match, therefore I’m grumpy. Note to self: don’t post on DL BEFORE coffee.

… and “surely not another one!”

They’re actually lopping the whole foot, NC. The logic is you can’t injure something that ain’t there no mo. 👍🏽

Sure is. But I avoid the sadness simply by turning off the TV… 😁

That’s exactly the reason. There’s no harm in keeping it quiet but there’s a potential for harm in making it public. I’ll be at his mum’s birthday party next Friday and while I won’t betray his family’s confidence, I’ll observe him closely since his mum says we’ll know how he’s travelling based on his dancing prowess. True story 😁

No, I can’t. That’s because Fritta himself isn’t necessarily given a ready-by date. But he’s always informed of his progress and to date he is well ahead.

I meant that if the Club is keeping it quiet, then anything you read or see in the media can’t be reliable info. Like many injuries, the prognosis changes as time goes on. Fritta is an unusually fast healer and is significantly ahead of where he’s expected to be atm. I can’t say anything more about it, but it’s not hot bath/razor blade time.

No

The Club is keeping this under wraps. All that’s left for fans is what’s reported in the media and as the old saying goes, don’t believe everything you read.

Yeah but sometimes it’s the complete opposite. Especially for those who’d rather ugly cry on their own while halfway to Jolimont station before the siren’s even blown. Not that I’m one of those sadsacks.

We’re not allowed to drink in our bay but I wouldn’t want to anyways. The DA never leave before the final siren. We have to cheer on the team right ‘til the end no matter the score. This is the sole thing I struggle with. Can you imagine how hard it is to chant and sing when a loss is inevitable? And (in my case anyways) through tears? That match in particular was gruelling in this respect. Emotionally very taxing. Luckily there’s always the opposite to help balance things out… Round 22 vs Carlton last year comes to mind. Kozzzzie!!! ❤️💙
