Talk about humble! I told Bowser that we’ve always known how good he is but now it seems everyone else is taking notice. I quoted Kingy who said, “Watch out, young fellah. You’re on the rest of the competition’s radar.” I told him he’ll be minded from now on and he actually blushed. 🥹 He said, “nah, that won’t happen.” I said don’t make me slap a player! He said, “Okay, that won’t happen… every week.” 😅 He’s a quick learner is our #17 😉

Spargs says it was the first incident.

The thing is though, his shoulder was already an issue due to an incident a few minutes earlier. But yeah, the Mills bump wouldn’t have helped.

Update: the coffee wasn’t free, not even for their members! Cheap bastards. After our boys had gone back to the rooms Salo hung around with some little Victory fans and was showing them his soccer skills. Very impressive and I wanted to film it, but by the time I found my phone in the bottom of my bag he’d finished up. 😢

Spargs has indeed done a scapula but isn’t expected to be sidelined for eight weeks, the doc said it’s likely only four or five weeks because it wasn’t as bad as they oftentimes are.

First time I’ve seen Shane since he was injured. He’s delighted to be out of the moonboot now and just wears a compression sock. He walks with a slight limp but that’s because he’s adapting to being sans moonboot. He’s in good spirits and is super keen for next season. He said he expects to be able to do a full preseason. He’s been doing heaps of other types of training, weights and the pool, the latter of which he loves. He talked about the timing of the injury being heartbreaking since at the time he was feeling the best he’s ever felt in his career and he knew his body was finally right. I saw AMW too but didn’t get a chance to say anything other than hi (got to see that killer smile though). But coincidentally I ran into his sponsors before training and they’d been with him this morning. They said he’s in great spirits as well. Andy and Shane and Koz didn’t train but came out at the end of the session to participate in a staff/player catch-up on the field.

It’s a special Victory day today. They’re having a sort of family day coz they’ve made the final and guess what.. they’ve got a coffee van! So now I’m a diehard Victory fan!!! Their players are coming out now so I’ve gotta go and Google their names 😂 Hashtag I’ll do anything for a free coffee Hashtag it’s freezing here.

Dunno but our boys are having an absolute blast playing with them.

Judd vomits due to drinking too much water. He’s always had this issue except he doesn’t consider it a problem coz he feels so much better afterwards. Clarrie said to let y’all know that he’s yet to reach his best and that he’s working really [censored] hard on it.

It’s raining and there’s no free coffee and surprise, surprise… not a weekender in sight. I am literally the only spectator here. There’s more Victory fans here and they’re not even training! Oh no, look at what’s on the field…

Idk if there’s any truth to this but I’m hearing Spargs has done his scapula and is looking at 8 weeks 😢

Speaking of past players, last night on 360 Garry said something I’m sure he rarely says publicly. He and Gerard were discussing the demise of Carlton and the comparison to us was drawn, with Garry starting his sentence with, “The team I barrack for…” This was monumental for mine. Garry routinely distances himself from us in an attempt to appear impartial but he (likely unconsciously) overcompensates.

Yeah, apart from Owens and Wanganeen-Milera who else do they have.

No suspension. It was a footy act.

Genuine answer, No 😂

Fun fact: both sides’ first goal was kicked by their ruckman. 😃

Yes! Not long after that beautiful video was released I ran into Jeff Farmer at halftime at the ‘Gabba or Carrara, I can’t remember which one. Anyways we talked about the vid and he said that Goody and Clarrie are now forever considered family. He explained the significance (in his culture) of being embraced as part of their family and how revered this honour is and how it’s eternal.

Joey Montagna on First Crack went one further and said we should not trade him for anything, period.

You reckon correctly, YA. Of the many, many reasons that will see him remain a Dee, a huge one is his relationship with Goody. This should never be underestimated.

He doesn’t dye or even tint his hair. The sun brings out a ranga-type hue. Yesterday however, it looked as though he’d OD-ed on hair product. Nothing nor no one was messing up that bouffant 😆

It wasn’t an interview. He said this to one of our DA stalwarts.

Yeah he actually said this, that it wasn’t the Mills bump that caused the pain, his shoulder was already an issue shortly before the bump.

You give clowns a bad name, Bozo

He passed the HIA test but his shoulder is the issue.

Spargs to have scans on his shoulder tomorrow morning.
