Katrina Dee Fan

The sun's out for you today! I take it by yesterday's club media, Harry Sharp's arrived now. I'd be interested to hear how he goes, presuming he'll be at training.

I found a photo of the Suns cheer squad https://images.app.goo.gl/HN9KNzvkv8jf7Nsr6

Are sharks more or less aggressive than lions? Tigers? Devils? Swooping annoying magpies? Asking for a friend. Even swans can have their moments of aggression.

The Suns have fans? Who knew?

exactly!

Exactly my point. I did know that, my post was aiming for the facetious. Them bleating about how unfair the advantage Victorian clubs get over interstate clubs is ridiculous when they can't see past their own noses. That's why I'm still incredibly angry about the whole Mac Andrew farce.

Sadly I don’t have enough in the bank to upload the photos….

From my exclusive Ghostwriter: Despite the weather there were a few regular trackies there today. Training sessions have been cancelled due to the rain, so it was awesome that they not only went ahead today but didn’t modify the session. Again, it was a serious affair, no holding back. Gotta admit I didn’t see a lot of the session (folks insisted on goddamn earbashing me the entire time 🤥😁). What I can tell you is that pretty much every player now has runner’s legs, especially their calves. I took pics of such, Kat; hopefully you have enough pic allowance to post them. Another sign that an emphasis has been put on running is that they all seem much faster and have more stamina, unlike last year’s first couple of preseason sessions where there was much sucking in of air following running. Kolt was wearing #12 but I doubt it’s permanent since he chose #39 for a reason. Again no SM23 in attendance. JA26 ran laps the entire time. Seemed to be moving perfectly fine though. Fritta hit the track earlier than everyone else, as did Tmac and Vines. Pup Brown can run! And run and run and run. Blink and you miss him. Same players today as were there on Monday with the addition of Riv and Spaz. Luker is definitely bigger now as has already been mentioned, but up close… geez Louise! He’s muscle upon muscle and he’s grown in height. He’s still settling into life in Melbourne, is happy living at Geoff Porz’s along with Kolt. I told him he clearly does gym every day. He said, “I have to.” I said, “But you like it, right?” He said, “Yeah.” I said, “Be honest.” He said, “Yeah nah.” 😅 ‘Til next time, Kat 👋 xxx

I've been saying for a while, one of three things will happen to the Suns - either fold, merge or relocate. They're simply not viable as they are. As for the new logo, I reckon the Year 7 Visual Communication Design class at my school could come up with something better.

Well, that frees up two rookie spots, potentially one for Noah.

Hope he doesn't get lost on the footy ground, we might not be able to find him. Unless he's wearing a striped top, beanie and scarf.....

this song wasn't from the 70s, though, it's a new song.

How does he even qualify for the Gold Coast Academy program given he's neither indigenous or African? Oh, Gold Coast. Cynicism mode disengaged.

She's got a better understanding of team spirit than Birch. Ooops, I didn't say that! Seriously, though, you cannot find a happier player at Melbourne than Maeve. She's so grateful to be at the club, and has the best attitude.

I can't wait to see what he brings next year. I've been on the Taj Woewodin fan club for a while now.

I still love Macchiavelli and the Four Seasons. Particularly All Homeboys are D*(&heads

Best compliment Chin could ever get :)

I'll be happy to get a certain crow back, though.....

As long as there were no swooping magpies!!

Report from Ghostwriter went to Gosch’s this morning and sent me this report… 1st - 4th year players today. Some seniors chose to attend: Viney, Salo, Fritta, Tmac, HP35. The vibe was amazing. The sunshine and lack of wind made it even better. They all look great; trim and toned and not one of them is out of shape. You thought Vines couldn’t possibly get any musclier? Think again. Good luck trying to tackle him, oppo chumps, see you in the broken bones ward at the Royal Melbourne! Nathan Basset already commanding much respect from the boys as well as Goody and Chocco. Very professional. Troy Chaplin confident and decisive when addressing his charges. Idk if Tom Campbell is any good at footying but believe me, he’s a lovely person. It’s no wonder he and BBB are besties, carbon copy right there. Chin Chandler rocking a dramatic buzzcut. First reaction: WTF?! Immediately followed by It actually looks good. No easing into training this preseason. No siree Bob. Straight into serious, physical drills. A lot of practice at baulking a couple of players while running into open goal. Leb puts the “Win” in “Windsor.” He absolutely nailed it. Woey junior super impressive when tackling, the boy simply does not let up. Brings one to ground, springs back up and takes down another one. So good to see. Jed Adams was wearing #19 (shack attack’s body isn’t even cold yet) but it’s probably only because he didn’t have a clean #26. Ollie Sestan looks great. Clearly hasn’t missed a single day in the gym. Seems super confident when talking about a potential debut in the offing. Jeffo also appears way more confident compared to last season. Not afraid to go in hard. Seems more agile as well. Still needs to straighten tf up but the Quasimodo is no longer as prominent. A slightly deranged regular was there. She gave Goody a big ‘ol bear hug and told him she’s so happy now that all that shhiitt is behind him after years of having to listen to the nasty allegations and that she’s even happier that he’s still our coach. He genuinely appreciated her sentiment then went on to praise the Demon Army. Love that guy. Chocco the complete opposite. He showed the slightly deranged one a video he took at Ikon during the last W H&A match. He took it from above and behind the cheer squad and said the CS is too noisy and raucous and extremely annoying, in particular the slightly deranged one and that next time he’s gonna bring a bottle of water to tip on her head. She told him to GAGF. 🤣 ‘Til next time, Kat. Lotsa love, your friend xxx

God help us if any of those Year 8s are on the board!!! Put it this way, three of them were on detention for mucking around during the minute's silence today...🥴

This. Just this. I can only imagine what the whole situation has been doing to him stress wise. So good the club and Goody can put it all to bed and focus on the team.

Is it just me, or does Chunk look happy as a pig in mud to be back? That photo with Fritta is priceless!!

I spoke to Richo at the last round of AFLW, he's of the opinion that it may take another couple of years to get Gus back engaged in any football. He said he's not even allowed to play golf at the moment, insurance reasons, which is pretty sad.

I'm impressed Fritta was there, was having a chat with his mum on Friday night at a Demon Army event, she said he and Natalie only flew in on Friday night from overseas.
