I saw this and was really impressed by how he reads the play. To be compared with Ollie Dempsey is very flattering.

I lost 😭 We’re going with STILL FLYING HIGH. We have a new thing on the banner this season, a cute little demon with a speech bubble who says something different every week. It’s only A4 size so you can’t see it from afar but we know it’s there and Max spotted it at Sunday’s game and punched it so I guess that’s a thing now. Anyways, I asked if the little demon could say YOUR LOSS, ESSENDON but again it was all nope. Instead… 👍🏽👏😊

That’s because we’re high on pain meds and will say anything. There are no laws of physics broken with a kick to the nuts; several broken with childbirth. Howsabout you go ahead and push something the size of a watermelon outta something the size of a lemon then we’ll talk 😅

We’re making this weekend’s banner this afternoon, and yesterday in our WhatsApp chat we were tossing around ideas for the wording. It will say JAKE MELKSHAM 250 GAMES and there were suggestions for what should follow that. Folks were suggesting AGING LIKE FINE WINE and STILL FLYING HIGH, eg. Someone said YOUR LOSS, ESSENDON purely for a joke but I jumped on it and begged for this one. I got a huge bunch of NOPE but ima fight tooth and nail, so if you see the banner on Saturday and that’s what it says you’ll know I won the battle. 😁

Pfft you’ve clearly never given birth. A kick in the nuts is mere tickling compared to it. 😅

I don’t understand betting beyond picking a team to win. I put a bet on our opposition every week regardless of who they are or what the odds are and have been doing so for years. It’s not a matter of superstition; it’s to cushion the blow of a loss. This is how I see it: if we win, perfect! I don’t care about losing the $. But if we lose, I’m sad but I’m sad with more $ than I had before the loss. Simples 😊 The amount I bet varies and depends on how much I hate the opposition. Usually it’s $10 or $20. When it’s Collingwood it’s $50 and when it’s Essendon it’s $100. When we lost to Essendon in the inaugural Gather Round I cleaned up. That went some way towards easing the pain of sitting in nonstop sideways rain watching us lose to them, getting straight back into the car and driving back to Melbourne.

Not sure. I know there are some who read DL because they call me Ghosty 😅

The 250 Games Trio… Photoshop Fail. Even Tmac agrees… 🤣🤣🤣

That may apply with more complex systems and operations but a simple task like updating the training info can be done regardless of how many locations from which the club operates.

The cheer squad is on a need-to-know basis and they really don’t need to know 😉 PS if I haven’t been expelled from the cheer squad already I never will be. I routinely get told off, mainly for leading the teenagers astray. But it’s so much fun 🤭

So, did you wish Howesy happy birthday and give Sharpie a hug from me????

I can’t say anything, Dingo, other than it’s a week-to-week proposition.

Yeah it wasn’t fun telling parents with their kids that they’d turned up for nothing. But things can change and sometimes it can’t be helped. It’s the lack of communication that makes me angry. It would take a couple of minutes to update the site.

And my reaction to all of you…
