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.

Ghost writer has said report will come when she gets home. So it may be posted here after I teach my Period 5 class. Nonetheless it's coming. She did drip feed this gem - "I gave Goody a big ol' hug and told him I'm glad that all that s*&^ is behind us now. He said thank you, it's great to have your support. Then he saw my Demon Army cap and said, 'And the Demon Army! You guys are incredible, always for us, we really appreciate you guys!' It was a special moment, he looked so touched. The poor bugger has put up with the bs for years."

Report is coming, my ghost writer is there. So far the main report is meeting Tom Campbell, and thinking he's the sweetest person alive, much in the same vein as Benny Brown.

That's one impressive autocorrect!! I thought we were moving into the literal aspect of surrealism, after all the media stuff we've endured!

I'll message her shortly. ATM I'm wrangling a Year 8 class who's not in the mood of doing any work!

I'm not sure. I saw her on Friday night but we didn't talk about training, we were at a Demon Army birthday party.

I'm jealous of anyone who was at the TISM concert on Saturday! I decided not to go after seeing the seating area was sold out, as because of my bad knee I can't stand for that amount of time. TISM had lots of footy references in their song, in fact they did the theme for Triple M when they started broadcasting football matches in the 90s, "Shut Up, Footy's on the Radio"

Who's there? Who's missing?

I'm sad about that, she's a cutie. Really sweet girl.

I'm sure she will be. It's how we got Casey Sheriff and Saraid Taylor, who were replacement players for Daisy Pearce and Sammi Johnson when they were pregnant. Both were extended.
