Claz just tackled Fritta, slammed him hard into the ground. Before he got up off Fritta he kissed him. 😂

Kolt is out there training with the others. He looks fine. I don’t know what Melk’s issue is but he doesn’t look happy.

Someone was wondering if Tom Couch is still involved with coaching in tennis. He is but he’s scaled it right back. He’s got the AO but as for other events he doesn’t travel anymore.

Hey Layz 👋 I’ve only been here for 2 seconds so bear with me. 😂 I don’t talk to the boys about things like contract details but we definitely talk about girlfriends just as I talk to my own sons and their mates about their girlfriends. I don’t expect everyone to understand, It’s a mum thing. Kolt calls me his VIC Mum. No one involved in any of these convos thinks it’s strange and that’s what counts.

…. then expect McVee and Johnson to smack those contracts into the middle of the Shane Warne Stand while on their way to posting a record partnership. 😁

You’re right. Thought I was Yishasvi Jaiswal for a minute there. 😁

Dagnabbit ya got me. I guess the jig’s up. I don’t know Koltyn Tholstrup at all. I made the whole conversation up. I don’t know why I’d make it up but clearly I did since it’s the most outrageously unbelievable, otherworldly, unfathomable, mind-blowing, inconceivable suggestion that that conversation took place; why, it’s stuff of fantasy. 🙄🙄🙄

The website isn’t always updated. Training is at Gosch’s tomorrow and Friday starting at 10am and finishing at midday. At this stage it’s also next Monday and Wednesday at Gosch’s at 10am.

I’ll find out on Wednesday and post the info. I’m guessing he’s leaving the WTA since he no longer coaches Danielle now that they’ve broken up. But that’s just my guess.

Awww DP, I’m sure Andy Williams would be very impressed. He’d probs wonder who tf Clarry and Tracc are, but he’d be impressed nonetheless 😘

He was bleary-eyed but I thought that was because Monday mornings can be rough. He trained well for someone running on “bugger-all” sleep.

Maysie trained well despite having the worst night in terms of disrupted sleep since Millie was born. He says it’s his own fault though because the night before (Saturday night) he had a great night’s sleep, the best by far, and he went around yesterday morning bragging to everyone about it and clearly jinxed himself. 😅

Semantics. Call it what you will. We all got the tone and it was unpleasant and unnecessary. edit: Judd told me he’s feeling great for a Monday morning. Can’t believe a bloody word that kid says 😉

He stood out because he’s tall and was well-dressed and was wearing TV makeup.

I have a feeling he had to tend to another matter unrelated to training because the admin staff seemed to be giving him a rundown so maybe it’s a media thing. 🤷‍♀️ Speaking of, Tom Campbell was being interviewed after training by a ch. 10 reporter named Nick Butler (who’s a former player, apparently). The focus of the interview is how he’s settling in with us. It’ll be on the 5pm news.

Petts has been training with the forwards for the entire session.

He asked for “the spray” and they bandaged his knee. Now he’s on the stationary bike and has been for quite a while. The bandage has been removed. He’s now heading back to the rooms.

That’s Mitch Hardy, a Casey player.

At Tracc’s first session back he was nervous and it showed. But that was then, now he’s yelling out encouragement and motivating everyone and not keeping a low profile. In particular, he’s very encouraging to Harvey. Tracc’s on the boundary watching Harvey and regularly calling out “that was great, Harvey!” The look of pride on Harvey’s face is priceless. Also, Tracc isn’t holding back one iota. He tackles hard and gets tackled just as hard. Honestly, you wouldn’t know at all what happened to him merely six months ago. Clarrie’s hand update: “it’s [censored] great!” He says it’s 100% back to pre-injury.

A small group of the boys ran a time trial before training while I was killing time up the road at Coles 😭 Maybe another track-watcher was here at the time?

Training this Weds and Friday and next Monday and Wednesday at Gosch’s at 10am. This is according to Clarrie but since you can’t believe everything a player tells a supporter 🙄 I asked my guy and he confirmed.

Will do, Kit Kat. I was told they resume at Gosch’s on January 9th but I’ll double check.

I never preface a report of a conversation with “He/she may not be telling me the truth but he/she said…” because I assume everyone already knows there’s a possibility that he/she isn’t telling the truth. In this instance Judd brought the subject up which leads me to believe he was 100% sincere, but as @bing181 said, I shouldn’t have to justify myself. edit: a former poster put up with this ‘til she couldn’t any longer. I don’t want a repeat of this.

I was told it’s Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at Gosch’s at 10am with the final session on Wednesday 18th. But that was a fortnight ago so I’ll check with my guy this morning and post on here.

This is true. I can hardly post an entire 20-minute conversation verbatim, but I wanna share the general vibe which in this case was great. This kind of response is exactly what happened when I had a very similar conversation with Kozzie’s partner, and that situation’s turned out fine.
