Toby (B) clearly in a lot of pain but hasn’t come off. It looks like a dislocated shoulder 😭

But he’s being managed so it’s no surprise he’s not playing for Casey 🤷‍♀️

No, he isn’t. He was at Gosch’s today.

Yes but do you make a mean skinny capp like Alejandro?

Was lovely to see you, Ditcha. I’m not a 10+ year member so I had your free coffee 😝 Thanksies!

You didn’t miss much. The coffee was meh. But then again it was my third for the morning and the coffee from Alejandro my gorgeous Colombian barista is a hard act to follow.

Heaps of people here coz 10+ years members were invited. Pfft bloody weekenders Some people will do anything for a free coffee. Anyways, I’m off to get a free coffee.

Unfortunately there’s many. And it’s not just 16yos they pick on. A few years ago I was at the ‘G, Melb vs Hawks, I was on my own and found myself up in the nosebleeds surrounded by Hawks supporters and this one Hawks supporter just wouldn’t let up. He started with bagging the Dees but before long he turned on me. All manner of filthy comments were thrown my way, progressively getting more offensive. He was so belligerent that no one was game enough to say anything. It got to the point where I went from being annoyed and disgusted to - for the first time ever at the footy - genuinely scared. At halftime I was so distressed I left and as I was leaving his parting salvo was “Yeah, if ya can’t [censored] handle it, Princess, [censored] off home!” So I took his advice and [censored] off home. When I got outside the ground a security guy saw me and was concerned as to why I was so upset. I told him what’d happened and he was furious. He said there’s no way I should miss the match because of one a-hole so he took me back inside, walked me to Bay M3 and said, “Just go and sit in this bay. You’ll feel safe.” I did that and just as I sat down, a goal was kicked by iirc Max and all of the sudden flags and giant heads appeared outta nowhere and I realised I was sitting in the cheer squad. From that day on I never sat anywhere else. I guess I’ve got that revolting Hawks fan to thank for discovering the Demon Army. Yeah nah [censored] him. I would’ve discovered the DA eventually 😁

So yeah, this ginormous Tracc graphic came to us in four sections (as do all milestone graphics of this size) and the sections have white borders which need to be trimmed off. I trimmed one section then slid it off to the side to make enough room to lay out the next section and this is what happened… 🫣🤭

Happy birthday, SPC! Here’s to a win for you while surrounded by folks who hate footy!!! 😅 Have a great day, regardless x

You stumping up for airfare and accomm?

All good, Kat. It’s back to the usual time (4-7pm) next week, thank goodness. This 6-9pm time-slot means watching the footy on the train ride home and although I wear headphones that doesn’t mean I don’t occasionally let slip with something like, “&@%# you, Bailey Smith, you @&#*%# piece of %*&@%* 😅

When I shared a little of a convo I had with Tracc last year a certain poster replied, “Guaranteed that conversation never happened.” More recently I quoted Clarrie (verbatim) and was reported for posting the “most appalling post” ever seen on Demonland (according to a different poster). So now, apart from conversations about haircuts or moustaches or favourite songs etc. I don’t share anything. Anyways, on a much happier note, this is a “thumbnail” of the graphic on Sunday’s banner… It’s gonna look incredible from the stands. I don’t have a pic of the other side of the banner but it’s a giant graphic of Kozzie’s dad’s beautiful design.

Chin Wag makes me think of Chin’s W.A.G., who’s a lovely girl btw but I’m not sure she’d make a good poddy 😅

Kozzie isn’t shy, he’s introverted. It’s pointless trying to read into anything he says publicly because he’s extremely uncomfortable speaking to many people at once and this affects what he says and/or the way in which he says things.

Main training was at Casey this morning. I wasn’t there but my friend was. She couldn’t see much from behind the fence but she did say that both Spargo and Windsor ran laps for a bit then went back to the rooms 🤷‍♀️

Nooooo! I’m a crazy bird lover. I’d take the bullet to spare Auzzie. What a majestic sight he was.

Thank you, dpositive! I will pass this on to Ryan and the rest of the squad ❤️💙 A funny thing you wouldn’t have known at the time: at the Perth prematch function, while Ryan was interviewing Chunk, a willie wagtail made his way into the room. Ryan has a morbid fear of birds and it took every fibre of his being to keep his wits about him. He was conscious of the little feathery cutie and its whereabouts in the room the entire time. Ryan is rarely on banner crew because he’s needed in our bay to rev up the squad when the players run out. He definitely would NOT have been on banner-raising in Perth because Auzzie the Eagle did his thing: circling Optus, progressively getting closer to the ground then landing in the centre of the oval, returning to his handler. Just the thought of this put Ryan in a cold sweat 🤣 When we were waiting to go out on the ground an Optus staff member worded us up on the Auzzie thing. We were told to sit or squat on the turf and stay perfectly still right up until it was time to raise the banner, if it looked like Auzzie was gonna swoop we were to lie flat on our stomachs and not move a muscle, then he says, “Oh, and Auzzie doesn’t like the colour red.” 😳😳😳

I was so angry about having to be a part of opening round. Having to travel to Sydney for the first game of the year sucked, and I felt bad for the many Dees fans who couldn’t attend and therefore missed out on being at our first game of the season. But what made me super angry is that we were picked to participate in the stupid idea of opening round because the AFL sure loves them a narrative, in this case: Grundy up against his former side. I maintain we wouldn’t have been involved in opening round if not for this.

Clarrie always gets the biggest hug 💖

@whatwhat say what just wanted to let you know that a different ch. 9 reporter was there today (Joel) and a different cameraman (Shane) and I told them that clearly ch. 9 employs nice people only. But I added, “Except for Tom Morris.” Joel exclaimed, “But Tom’s a mad Demons supporter!” I said that I’d been told Tom barracks for the story. Both Joel and Shane, after having a laugh at that, said Tom is indeed a loyal Melbourne supporter. As I was leaving I said, “Trent last week and you today, Joel… when is it Tom’s turn?” Joel said, “Probably never!” 😂

Since I’ve been in the DA Ryan’s only missed attending one game, opening round last year and that was only because his flight was delayed.

Yeah but I see you all the time. I welcome fresh peeps to annoy 😅

😂 So last Friday at Gosch’s Chocco asked if he could take a photo of me. I asked what it was for and as can be imagined all manner of rude jokes ensued. But he never did tell me why. Today after training he told me why he wanted the pic. On Sunday before the match he gave a talk to the playing group. I’m not sure what the theme was but Chocco had an accompanying slide show which included the pic he’d taken of me. He said some of the boys called out, “Hey, that’s Ghosty!” (not her real name 😁). Bless. And if you think I’m not gonna credit the win to this you’d be sadly mistaken. 😂

Yes and his throat is fine
