It’s not fair but unfortunately it’s something that won’t ever change. To make matters more annoying, we can’t sit in the first three rows because of a combination of the fence being too high and the convex field.

At Mordor we sat on the wing (next to the race, absolutely freezing) while construction of the new stand was underway. Now that it’s complete, the Geelong cheer squad sit behind the goals in the new stand and opposition cheer squads sit in their old bay.

That’s a Sydney members only section. We sit in the pocket a few bays around from them.

Toby crunched the numbers and decided it was a financially wise move to make. #demon maths

I actually had a Fritta chook but he turned out to be a boy, likewise Langers. I had to give them up for adoption 😭 I will tell Fritta you think he looks like my chook and it’d be best for everyone involved that you two never meet. 😁

Well, now that you’ve asked, it would be impolite of me to not oblige… From left to right… Back row: Jed or Harry Front row: Roo, Melksy, Harmesy, Jed or Harry Jed or Harry Jed AND Harry, or Harry and Jed. (the only time they don’t have tunnel-vision having scratched and pecked in long wet grass which leaves their afros clumped). You’re welcome 😁

I first read this as “aftermath” then realised it was “aftermatch” but then was like, yeah nah, I’ll stick with aftermath. 😅

So much to unpack, so little time (and patience). Max is “carrying this team EVERY WEEK”? Max puts in a Herculean effort every week and is the best ruckman and captain in the league, but he’s not out there alone. What an insult to the other players. McAdam is underdone? He’s lacking match fitness? And you know this for a fact exactly how? Salo should be sent to Casey for a couple of weeks because he’s not at AFL level? Yes, I know, you’re entitled to your opinion, but it’s a [censored] opinion and that’s my opinion to which I’m also entitled.

At the ‘G and we’re Robbo and Phil Ceberano’s groupies 😅 Probs annoying the sch!tt outta everyone else since we don’t have indoor voices. In between songs I went to the stage to tell Robbo the wonderful news that is the final score of tonight’s match. Celebration time! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

I just went up against Marty Hore in a handball comp. I’m so sch!ttt that even though he let me shoot from literally two feet away, I lost. Badly. 😭

LOL look at where our Sleep at the ‘G team is located… They must know us well 😅

Cryptic not clear

Just a lil reminder that we are all part of the best Club in the league. 🥰 We’re the only AFL club whose cheer squad has put together a Sleep at the ‘G team, albeit a small one. It’s on tonight and this year we’ve assembled a uniform of sorts. We all bought matching PJ pants… Teamed with various Demons T-shirts and headwear we’re sure to look positively fetching 😅 And these are my “slippers”… 🥳❤️💙

Shane would be delighted. This is a massive injection of confidence for him and confidence is everything when it comes to game-day. So proud of him. ❤️💙

Bowsa’s 50th this weekend. 🥳 Considering he played every match from debuting in 2021 to midway through 2022, this feels like it’s a long time coming. Because some of us are doing Sleep at the ‘G tomorrow night, banner making is tonight. Let’s hope the little ginger one isn’t dropped this week since we’ll be acknowledging his milestone on the banner. #Awkies 😂

I’m gonna make a hobby out of hearing the commentators trying to pronounce ‘Waalitj Marawar’ 😅

I agree rpfc. Mali is an extremely talented artist and her whole family is mad, mad, mad Melbourne. A ton of love went into that design. Mali and KC were interviewed on 360 last night. It was striking how grateful they were to share their story, in particular KC at the end of the interview was so sincere in his thanks to Gerard and Robbo. I saw this for myself on Monday at Gosch’s. I told Mali that when I watched the video how bloody relieved I was to get to the end to discover KC made it through and is now thriving. She said, “Can you do something for me… can you please tell him that?” She called him over (I didn’t realise he was there) and I did just that. What can I say… this kid must hear things like this all the time but he appreciated every word I said. I actually teared up while talking to him and he reached out to hold my hand! What 17yo kid does that??? Massive hugs and gushing about the Dees ensued and it’s a meeting I’ll never forget.

*Five seconds later* amirite???

They can put a man on the moon etc... In this age of technological advancement in every facet of life we have driverless cars, 3D printers, robots performing surgery, we’ve landed a vehicle on Mars, the list goes on, and on and on. Why, then, can we not have interviews on TV via satellite WITHOUT that annoying 5-second delay?!?! It’s 2024, not 1954. Surely some boffin or other can figure out a way to do it. PS: my favourite biscuit is the Tim Tam, but not any old Tim Tam, I love the ‘Chewy Caramel’ variety, in particular.

Not these kids. All’s I say is “Hi” and they sing like a canary 😅

Does the fact that he didn’t train yesterday have any bearing on that?

9:30am

He told me he played really well in the Casey match. Blowing his own trumpet… bless him. 🥹 I asked him if he’s been told anything yet about the possibility of a call-up. He said he hasn’t but they’ve been praising him a bunch. Incidentally, I believe everything he says because he’s a kid and I find the kids never lie. They’ve yet to learn that fans are on a need-to-know basis and mostly they need to know nothing. 😁 The young boys are so honest and they divulge everything, including stuff about which you didn’t even ask. I don’t bother to ask the older seasoned players much since I know their answers may not be the truth. Fair enough, too. Some people are blabber-mouths. Unlike me of course. 😇

YAY! Now I have three jobs. 😁 Soon to be four since I gave Reece the routine reminder that he promised I could have his job when he’s done.

He was. He participated in the full session. Coming back to the tent he was getting pats on the back from Goody. KFW also trained. He said he’s currently playing in the amateurs for St. Bede’s - Mentone with the MFC’s permission and he’s really enjoying it. It was great to see him happy.
