I told Kalani how awesome the quote from his dad is, “Dad… number 34 is our number.” He said, “Don’t worry, I’m definitely number 34, I’m just wearing this (no number jumper) for today.” BLESSSSSS 🥹

Everyone is here. And omg they are looking fit af. Seriously, even the ones who already looked great look even better. The camp was a roaring success by all accounts. It’s obvious they’re still on a high. The energy is electric. Shane’s running laps. He’s running really well. Both AMW and Melky had some white cream massaged into their kneecaps by Pete the physio. Pete says it’s routine, nothing to worry about.

I met Latrelle!!! What an awesome boy he is. Kozzie smiled and pointed towards him, as if to say have at him 😅 Latrelle is NOT shy. He’s so friendly and loves a chat. I also met Tommy Matthews. He’s a live wire! A lovely guy. Of course I met Riley too. He’s a little more reserved. Taller in person than in pics.

It looks as though my threats to burn down the MCG if the players continue to come out too early were taken seriously. Not a soul to be seen yet.

Ghostwriter by name and Ghostwriter by action, for this post anyways. Some suggestions from a former poster which imho are perfect: Schism by Tool (or any of several Tool tracks). Kashmir by Led Zeppelin. Several Radiohead songs, he didn’t specify which songs. My own offering is (unsurprisingly) a Sigur Rós track. As I always say, there’s a Sigur Rós track for every occasion. I don’t say it aloud, just in my head. I give you…

I hope your daughter recovers soon, and well. I saw Liv at her first session back post -injury, which was at AIA (meaning she was very close to the boundary). I didn’t say anything to her because I didn’t want to bother her. She came over to me and I was blown away by her positivity. Her attitude alone was inspirational. Since that session I’ve watched her go from strength to strength and I’ve had the privilege of being there for, as you say, her journey. She gave me regular updates and was always happy to tell me the number of days left before she’d be given the green light to run. This is why the above video is so special. Liv is such an important person at our club for many reasons, not least of all because the young players were also witnessing what I was and that’s what you want the 18/19yos to model themselves on.

The Brother Boys!!! #MattyWhelanIsWorthHisWeightInGold

Ditto with this… The halftime sprint tonight GO MOLL!!!

I’ve watched Liv at every session (she’s close to the boundary and it’s a pleasure to watch her). She’s inspirational to say the least. She follows every instruction from the physios. She does not stop. Her resolve to be back to her best is to be admired, and she’s so disciplined. As I said, she’s an absolute inspiration. I know she’s been champing at the bit to be allowed to run, so this video is heartwarming and thank you SO much for posting it, DIO.

Gabs is awesome. Always has time for fans, she’s fun and engaging, always smiling, even when knocked down with yet another injury. It’s gonna be strange not seeing her around the club. And by strange I really mean sad. 😞

First world problem I know, but this makes it easier to open. That f****** Newman

Jacinta is still rehabbing from a back injury. I’ve seen her come so far over time at training. She’s now sprinting and is not far off being fully fit. A couple of months ago Amelia told me she needed to work on improving her skills. She’s a very accomplished athlete in several sports as you mentioned and now that she’s focusing just on footy it won’t take long for her to get to the required standard. She’s a strong, solid girl who’d be hard to bring to ground. Looking forward to seeing her out on the park.

I love Bertie. She’s coming along nicely and will only get better because she’s dedicated and hardworking. I’ve really bonded with her - her energy is infectious and she has a great sense of humour. I’m delighted she’s been given a contract extension. 🥳

😢 I’m so sad to see Dingo’s been delisted. Didn’t see it coming at all. I thought she was playing well enough to be kept on our list.

I know you will 😉

Similar sentiment to Nibbler’s when he was leaving us. Kinda makes it even sadder because you know they still love the club 😢

Ugh when you finally agree with someone who you always disagree with and they blow it with the last line of their post. Maybe one day. I live in hope 😁

You’re welcome. That’ll be $800

This is fantastic news but I’m puzzled as to why it’s only now being announced. About three weeks ago I was told she had re-signed so when next I saw her at Gosch’s I congratulated her. She said, “Thanks so much, but that was about a month ago.” 🤷‍♀️

You’re still sh!ttty that I beat you in the latest quiz, ain’tcha! 😂

Same way I enjoyed mine… quiet as a mouse 😁 Oh, btw, not sure if I’ve told y’all already but… I BEAT DEMONSTONE!!!

… and the ANZAC jumper. I agree there are too many jumpers, especially when the non-traditional ones change every year. I was at Fritta’s house once when he wasn’t home - not weird, I was with his mum. She slid open a wardrobe door; it was a sight to behold. There must’ve been 50-60 jumpers all with #31 neatly hanging in order. Too many!

Today in our DA WhatsApp chat we were throwing around ideas for new handheld banners/signs etc. for next season. I think this is perfect… “ONLEY FANS” 😂😂😂

These are their training tops. They also have the same top but in reverse, ie. predominantly blue. I reckon they look great.
