There’s so many dates and events to keep up with this off-season, more so than previous years. Not just these open training sessions and praccies, but a ton of other club/DA-related stuff, too. The 14th of February is defs too early in the year.

That’s what I heard. And it looked bad

I read somewhere this morning that Pup left the field limping yesterday and apparently it didn’t look good and he looked upset.

I’m confused. We were told the family day type event at Casey on the 14th of February is a scratch match vs North. Clearly it isn’t. It must be just another open training session 🤷‍♀️

Not yet but I’m working on it 😁

He’s got a “player engagement” role, whatever that means.

No, today was a scheduled open training at Casey, they’ll now resume training behind the locked gates as it usually is.

Ordinarily I’d try to find out what’s up but I’m anchored to the DA tent. Hopefully we’ll find out soon from Selwyn’s report.

All I can say is Chin’s arm is in a sling!

If chatGPT is correct this will boost our membership numbers…

Come to Gosch’s this Wednesday!!!

I’ll think of you, but not while I’m turning the snags coz I won’t be turning the snags because apparently snags burnt beyond recognition aren’t appetising I’m till-b!ttchh so I’ll think of you while I’m handing our first customer $97 in change for a snag in bread, paid with a $100 note. This happens more often than you’d think. 😭 Enjoy cranking the waves and fish, whatever the hell that means.

This event at Casey on February 14th is the unofficial praccy match vs North Melb.

Hoping to get a good turnout at open training tomorrow at Casey. A great opportunity for little Dees (and not so little Dees) to get autographs/selfies with the boys. There’ll be face-painting, handball comps, a coffee van and the pièce de résistance… the Demon Army *Sausage Sizzle! A snag in bread (with or without onions) is the **breakfast of champions and it won’t cost you an arm a leg. Profits go to the purchase of new props, for example we’re gonna need giant heads for some of those young ‘uns who are qualifying for a giant head a-head of time (see what I did there 😁). So if you’re undecided about attending, please choose to come and get up-close and personal with our awesome players! * Capital ‘S’ in Sausage Sizzle because yes, it’s that special. ** apologies to Mr Vonnegut.

My friend attended training yesterday and this is what she texted me … “Went to training today and wow just wow- I have never seen them like this! It was full-on. Serious training no holding back. Only me and 2 other spectators. 
 The rehab group were on the back oval- but all were running, moving and kicking really well as far as I could see. The boys are so fit! I can’t wait to see them actually out on the ground.”

TC is a gentle giant off the field but a beast on-field…

That’s definitely AJ. 👍🏽

There’s also this part… … which is not conspicuous at all, but which will likely be publicised closer to the day. It will be at Casey. Starting time yet to be announced.

Our players train every weekday except for Thursdays. They also train on Saturday mornings.

They trained at Casey this morning. I wasn’t there but my buddy was, and her text message was short and sweet: “Went to training today and wow just wow- I have never seen them like this! It was full-on. Serious training no holding back. Only me and 2 other spectators. The rehab group were on the back oval- but all were running, moving and kicking really well as far as I could see. The boys are so fit! I can’t wait to see them actually out on the ground.”

Oh, he did? I didn’t notice… twice.

Not everyone sits online 24/7 busting to be the first with news, posting a tweet or otherwise.

Oh you just reminded me, I saw him but forgot to find out who he is. Dammit, I hate not knowing 😂 but I have a variety of ways of finding out. Watch this space 👍🏽 edit: the question has been answered. But in future, I shan’t drop the ball again. 😁

Besides Vines, Bill Laurie is another player who’ll be sporting a shiner. He copped an errant Riv elbow to the eye. No biggie, it’s just that the bandaging looks so dramatic.

Luker was there (training with the main group) but his hair has grown and so has he. I almost didn’t recognise him. Charles was there. He said his achilles is almost 100% Toby Sinnema is likely one of the boys you didn’t recognise. Today was the first time he’s met many of the players. He said he’s stoked about how much they welcomed him.
