But how will we know who won????! 😭😜

The gates are officially closed. “Officially” being the key word 😉

Not liking seeing Luker with a heavily bandaged calf.

They call it “temporary seating” but it’s perfectly fine and is a welcome addition which hopefully becomes permanent.

Jeffo landed heavily on his elbow. I hope he’s okay. He’s going great guns

I’m sure they’ll have it up and running soon And they do!

Nice goal, Rooey

Definitely ballet* for balance and poise and agility, but all forms of dance offer great benefits. *ballet does NOT cure clumsiness. I’m living proof of that 😁

They call glandular fever the kissing disease because it’s transmitted through saliva. Americans call it Mono, an abbreviation of mononucleosis. I had it when I was in my 20s and it’s super debilitating. I was off work for six weeks and when I did return it was for one day per week then building up to two days, then three and so on. It takes forever to feel normal again.

I posted this in the Superbowl Halftime Show thread but it’s more relevant to this topic since it’s about training: Speaking of music yesterday’s Gosch’s soundtrack was brought to us by CJ. He made the playlist specifically for training. At one point in warmups Reggie (XT) and CJ were kinda dancing, only for a few seconds but their timing/rhythm was super impressive. It got me thinking that perhaps dancing should be part of the training program. They already do yoga and pilates but dancing hones a different skill set.

‘Ckn oaf, DS. Jónsi’s voice is an instrument and it’s an instrument like no other instrument ever there was nor ever there will be. Lols at the mere thought of them playing at the ‘G and bigger lols imagining how they’d be received by your garden variety AFL fan.

Hendo’s sacrum is healing well but he won’t be in full training for a couple of months. Luker says his face isn’t as bad as it sounds: a 4-cm crack from his eye socket down. He has no pain and his face looks normal. He’s swapped the no-contact hat for the mask. Bowser in great spirits. He said his recovery is tracking well and is actually ahead of schedule, hence the high spirits.

Re Sharpie doing his hammy just before Xmas but now back to 100% right as rain (his words), he actually DID do a hammy and he actually IS 100% right as rain. End of story.

Because they trained yesterday there was some doubt about whether training would take place this morning. It is scheduled for 9:30am at Gosch’s and indeed will go ahead.

Duuude raise the bar a little! 11th? At least have us as finishing 10th so we make ‘finals’

Yep, Bali. The most un-Bali person on the planet is in Bali. The pasty white Irish person who loves winter is in Bali because any opportunity to spend time with my baby granddaughter is gold. Can’t wait to get back to Gosch’s ❤️💙

I didn’t mean to offend anyone and I’m sorry if I did.

This coming Wednesday and the following Wednesday I won’t be able to attend training. Just letting you and the other sadsack members of the CFOTs in advance so as you don’t publicly portray me as a biatttch 😁

It changes every year. Last year we got DA socks, the years before were keychains, water bottles etc. Thank you for signing up!

Is your Demon Army membership current?

“The Duke” hasn’t taken off. Leb is Leb is Leb. Is Leb is good! 😁

This was us filming part of a promo. I thought it was a Fox promo (same as last year) but it’s an MFC-produced video. We made the banner last week and did a mock raising yesterday outside the ‘G. Then we cruised up and down the Yarra in a boat waving flags etc. and yelling out to Kozzie. It was so much fun, until it wasn’t: I experienced a sad combo of sunburn and mal de mer and had to disembark early 😭

Kingy’s boy, Oscar. Just having a run with the boys today.
