Fully agree, WJ. Not just physically, but mentally as well. He’ll happily tell you this but you don’t need him to, it’s so obvious. Wears his big soft heart on his sleeve does our Claz

The Demon Army thanks you sincerely xxx A vey generous person indeed.

Nah, I asked them if the jumpers were for Harvey and they said who else would they be for (slightly smartarse-ish but whatevs) and I said Josh Schache and they laughed (significantly smartarse-ish).

Anyways the training observations are all well and good but I’ve got the most interesting news… I sold Mr Petracca Senior a snag in bread for his granddaughter Bella (Tracc’s niece) and boy, is he a lovely person! This is little Bella… I also sold three sausages to Stacey Melksham for her kids. Little Teddy is still grappling with the notion that someone other than Melks or one of his kids can wear a guernsey with #18 on the back. Big sister Frankie was quick to let me know that she understands this, there was even a slight eye-roll towards her brother #annoyingLilBro And how good is this… Harvey fans already out and about and he’s yet to play.

… and besides buying two sausages, you made a donation to the DA, for which we are very grateful. 💖

The Demon Army tent wherein you’ll find the best-cooked snags on the planet, the freshest bread and the most addictive onions.

I’ll be chained to the DA tent again so won’t be able to submit a training report. We won’t know who’s had a haircut or who has a new girlfriend, but dems da breaks 🙃 However, I will be happy to take your hard-earned in return for the culinary delight that is a snag in bread. See y’all there!!! ❤️💙

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.
