According to Brad Green (was walking his dog and stopped by) we should see him back on Monday, but not in the main group yet.

I just googled it. 😳 8yo me doesn’t know what to think. She always loved Elmer. Goodbye childhood 😭

That’s an insult to Elmer

Idk if it’s been mentioned already but Harvey sent a brief wave of panic through spectators when he came off to tell Jacob (our doc) that he’d copped a head knock. He was pointing to his cheekbone directly below his eye. Jacob did the how many fingers am I holding up thing and the eyes following Jacob’s finger thing. He had a gentle but thorough feel of Harvey’s cheekbone and it must’ve been all good because he was back out on field afterwards. Phew

CJ wears a black one. After training he wears it around his neck. That boy makes anything look cool. On Wednesday he forgot his headband so tied his hair in two ponytails using two ‘dreads’ as hair-ties. I told him he should’ve hit me up. He said What you got? I said Ribbons and scrunchies. He said “Cool. I’m a ribbons man, myself.” And yes, he’d even make that look cool.

What does Maysie think of training? “It’s brutal, Kingy’s a [censored] psycho” 😅 but was quick to add, “We actually love it.”

Chin’s baby is due in late March. They’ve decided not to find out the gender until the birth, or as Chin put it… “I’ll know if it’s a boy or a girl when I catch it.” 😅

Reece Conca has had a haircut. It was thick and collar-length but now it’s quite short and it looks great. You’re welcome 😊

Ricky Lever first player to arrive

Similarly, if you want to know who’s had a haircut or what a particular player eats for brekkie, I’m yer gal 🙃

We all know I’ll find out next week’s session deets. 😃

This particular compilation was written early in his career. It’s quite different from peak Vonnegut. It’s just as good though

That’s a good but very basic mnemonic. If you wanna really get acquainted with amazing mnemonics Kurt Vonnegut wrote a story about them in a short story compilation called Bagombo Snuff Box and titled Mnemonics.

No need to be a smart-arze. Dingo’s question is valid. The club has been relatively transparent of late so one can wonder why there’s been no mention of this. PS: Richo doesn’t have sugar in his coffee 😉

He had just had an injection in his foot so he was limping because it was sore. It’s nothing serious

I was thinking about food/coffee places that are walking distance from Gosch’s. I didn’t know until today that if you leave Richmond station from the opposite side (as if you’re walking to the ‘G) there’s a cafe and apparently they make really good coffee. Curse the owners of Pink Lemonade for permanently closing the coffee Kiosk that was right outside Richmond station (Swan Street side). The coffee was superb and it was served by Alejandro, the lovely Colombian barista.

Can I change my vote? I didn’t even see the first two, I was struck by how good Culls looks in the third one. Yep, I was blinded by the Jai. 🤭

Far out. I’m gonna be up all night trying to figure out what the hell I just read 😵‍💫

While Kingy’s at the helm I can’t see Claz being welcomed back. Yesterday Kingy asked me what I think of the new guys and I said “100% happy. it’s clear the No-[censored] Policy is still in place coz there’s not a single [censored] on our list.” Kingy said, “That’s because we’ve got rid of them already.” Edit: the censored word is an anagram of Hick-Dead.

Still too soon 😅

They’re plastic tubes with water in them. Different levels of water making them different weights.

The spread of knowledge and experience coming from an array of different types of people is a great way to go. You’re right about Chappy. He’s at the centre of it all. He works really well with the players and the other coaches and Richo and Paul Guerra and even finds the time to hang sch!tt on me 😅 all good, I give as good as I get.

Yesterday at Gosch’s a track-watcher said, “Ghosty, look behind us, a group of bikies has just turned up.” This is what I saw… I said all good, they’re just our new sponsors. It’d be sooo Melbourne to have these guys as “bikies” 😁

Not silly at all. Only silly if you get to Riley Onley coz who walks up and down a hill 40 times without having a gun held to their temple?
