The scratch match at Casey tomorrow is a closed event, ie. it’s to be played behind locked gates.

There’s a finite number of Red Bulls that the human body can take. But I’ll give it a fair crack. If the broadcast shows the cheer squad and you see someone asleep on a pillow made of floggers as early as during the first quarter, you’ll know that Red Bull in fact doesn’t give you wings.

Tim Watson was the channel 7 sports reporter at the time. He must’ve lied 🤷‍♀️

Laura Kane is insipid, just like Andrew Dillon. But at least he fronts the media, she has decided to decline talking to the media ever since she (mis)handled the situation where Collingwood narrowly beat North thanks to an absolute howler by the umpires. She made the mistake of publicly admitting to asking Brad Scott for advice (her predecessor) which is unprofessional. That’s just one reason. I’m not gonna waste my time or anyone else’s time listing the many other reasons.

I fly out tomorrow morning at stupid o’clock (6am) and fly out of Perth at stupider o’clock (midnight).

Yeah I just heard he’s an out.

For whoever he wants.

Maysie out? That’s what I just heard.

Are you trying to get some rest from all the unborn chicken voices in your head? Apologies to Thom Yorke 🤭

Not that I know of. But complaining would be futile. I can’t imagine anything would be done about it.

Right??!! Dude must look at the fixture at the beginning of the season and clear his calendar for every date that we play. 😭

I don’t think Fritta should’ve come back into the side last week. I agree that he should remain at Casey until he earns his spot in the seniors. But I don’t think Roo should be in the side, either. They both need a spell at Casey. Fritta was recalled by virtue of a “freak accident” which ruled Melks out (who the hell rips a gash in their leg with their own boot-stud?!?!). BTW, and this isn’t directed at you, Fritta is just another player at our Club. My close friendship with his mum doesn’t cloud my judgement at all.

I don’t know. I was just told that because Sandringham and Casey both have byes this weekend they’ve organised a scratch match which will be played at Casey Fields on Saturday. Agree with the unfairness of Kozzie’s two praccies not being counted in his suspension. PS Laura Kane’s appointment is one of the worst decisions made by the AFL ever.

Fritta came in coz Melks was out. Also I think Fritta was dropped not so much to regain form, but to send a message to the entire team, including Fritta himself. That’s how I saw it.

The Kolt Kiss is also unleashed when Kolt is the one who kicks a goal. After he kicked a goal last week he kissed Fritta on the neck. Kisses for everyone! Kisses aplenty! ‘Twas raining kisses 👄 👄 👄👄👄

No. No, you’re not. Sneak peek at the newest addition to the cheer squad… 😘

I thought the aim of sending a player to Casey to try to recapture their form involved keeping them there for a substantial amount of time, even if they kick a bag in one game. As for Melk, “coming back from injury” doesn’t really apply here. He had a gash in his skin, not a soft tissue or muscle injury. They kept him out for a week so as not to run the risk of infection.

Anyone care to guess which umpire will be officiating on Saturday night? I’ll give you a clue: his name is NATHAN WILLIAMSON, he wears #22 and he HATES MELBOURNE.

Finnbar Maley, what a beautiful Irish name. Love seeing a debutante kick a goal. Especially when it’s against Essendon 😁

Ugh I hate Kane Cornes so much. He’s a pigheaded bully who has no issue with picking on junior players. Critiquing is one thing but condescendingly laughing while making up the stupid Sheezy skit is another thing entirely. He’s a nasty bastard and I’m glad North has banned him. Now watch what he implies or even says if North win tonight (please footy gods let North beat the most revolting team in the league). That conceited POS will take credit for firing them up. 🤮

Except they absolutely do give out personal information about where players are; funerals, pre-planned days off, or a thousand other things.

I reckon the dropping of Fritta has something to do with it.

Kev will post his report sometime after 4pm. I hope that’s okay by you @Roost it far Kev will surely mention absentees and Clarrie was on that list today. I asked Jacob (our club doctor) why Clarrie was a no-show and he said “Now come on Ghosty, you know I can’t tell you that.” I told him that was a crock since he always tells me stuff. He said on this occasion he can’t. That made me think it’s something serious. I said as much and Jacob said we’ll know soon enough why Clarrie wasn’t here.

Turner in full training and is fine. He said he’ll know in a couple of hours if he’s selected. Melk good to go 👍🏽

Luker is in full training. He looks (and feels) great.
