No poos and wees for the Hawks tonight. Just poos and whatever that other colour is.

Today someone who I think is in the know told me that sometimes Collingwood “play funny buggers” when informing the AFL of injuries, as in exaggerating an injury so as to keep everyone else guessing. 🤷‍♀️

We can all relate to this, right? Well I can, anyways.

I couldn’t help but notice that as the boys left the room, Sharpie stayed back to pack up the chairs. Seems a small thing but it’s actually a big thing. It shows his character.

I didn’t see any goal-kicking practice, not serious practice anyways. But today was bookended by a thorough training session at Casey yesterday and an intra-club match tomorrow, so they deserved a fun day today imho.

This is great! I love Chunk telling them to “ignore the scoreboard.” Also, Max’s little dance when he stands up in the rooms. Bless his unco little heart 😅

I actually asked what shade of blue (not as detailed as you’ve asked 😅) and he said he likes every shade of blue but probably likes the blue of our red and blue the most. 🥹🥹🥹

And how bloody awesome was it, Kev?! Seeing them having fun like little kids was heartwarming. I could watch that all day. They were having a blast but geez they were serious and super competitive. Ricky Lever in particular… he doesn’t like losing and he makes it known. 😂 Jed Adams was also very vocal.

Unfortunately not open. Creep vibes through the fence will have to suffice.

Through and through. Third generation of diehard Dees fans. His family is delighted he’s now a Dee. He admitted he was anxious about getting on our list but when it happened it was the best birthday gift ever.

Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing” His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders.

It’s his foot. Unless the medics have lied to him, that is. He says it’s his foot.

At this point, there’s the intra-club at Casey tomorrow at 9:30am Monday - no training Tuesday - Gosch’s at 9:30am Wednesday - indoor training Thursday - Casey time tba Saturday - Gosch’s (captain’s run) Sunday - THE BIG ONE! GO YOU MIGHTY DEES!!!

Tomorrow at Casey at 9:30am

He’s not here today. But he was last Friday

White FOOTY boots

Today is about fun. They are so happy and playful. Doing drills and sh!tt stirring at the same time. This drill seems to be about reaction times. There’s double handballs flying around players in a circle. Now there’s eight players in a circle with four balls being handballed and the idea is you can’t have two balls at once, ie. you have to give off the ball before you receive another.

Kolt’s in boots 🥳

Clarry’s favourite colour is blue.

Jai is in a moon boot.

They are training this morning. They’re only gonna be out here for half an hour, having a “muck around match” 🤷‍♀️

There may not be a training report at all since there may not be training. We’ve been here since 8:30am and there’s no sign of anyone. Usually by now the truck is here and the property guys are setting up props etc. and the marquee is up.

This morning’s session will go for only an hour. Minus putting boots on, water/sunscreen breaks and play-fights, that’s approximately 13 mins of legit training. Therefore please don’t expect much of a training report (looking at you, @Roost it far) 😁

Richo used to open the gate if there was only a couple of spectators. Someone on DL expressed their displeasure and now the gate is never opened. I’m not saying that this is the reason why, but if it’s a coincidence, it’s a huge one. Unfortunately my sis from another mr was one of those lucky (now unlucky) spectators. ☹️

Hendo trained but no specific update on him. The gates were locked and my friend couldn’t see much of what was going on.
