Youโre not thinking of Tom Couch, are you? He coaches tennis professionally

His name is Johnny Randabel and heโs the Casey forwards coach.

๐ XMAS MEET & GREET 2025 ๐
We also used to have gluten-free bread but it too went the way of the gluten-free snags because of low demand. For a while there I was bringing home my chooksโ weight in gluten-free bread after every BBQ. ๐

I think transitioning from generic electric guitar pieces and current pop songs straight to Beethoven was a stretch as it is. ๐

๐ XMAS MEET & GREET 2025 ๐
Unfortunately, no. We used to have gluten-free snags but the demand was so low that we ended up having to throw them out. We still only get one or two requests per BBQ. See you there <3 Edit: youโll be at Goschโs on Friday as well? Saturday is the Xmas Meet & Greet at Goschโs. This isnโt a training session.

Jake would be absolutely gutted. On Friday he seemed in good spirits despite being on crutches. At that point he didnโt know the seriousness of his injury ๐

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 8th December 2025
During preseason training in December 2021 Fritta sustained an injury to his foot caused by a teammate treading on it. He had to have surgery and to this day it amazes me the media never got hold of this happening (Do better, Tom Morris!๐). The teammate was our beloved Pig.

The doc told me Bowser had a torn ligament in his foot and was to be operated on this afternoon, and that heโd be looking at three or so months recovery. I donโt know how these things work, ie. could the surgeon have discovered something different while he was operating?

The injury was caused by a teammate treading heavily on his foot at the camp. They had him running laps at those two sessions because they didnโt realise the extent of the injury. He complained of a sore foot which became more painful after those running laps sessions.

At this stage itโs Goschโs. Thatโs according to the Property Manager and his right-hand man. But thatโs not a certainty and they can expect to be notified of the venue right up until the week before they recommence.

I didnโt even notice to whom I was responding. I simply repeated what Iโd been told right at the end of the session and thatโs that heโs tracking as expected at this point in his recovery.

This is great! Itโs from Fridayโs session. And ima go ahead and claim credit for the soundtrack. I told Trent our videographer that itโd be wonderful to not always have the generic electric guitar background music. I said (jokingly)โฆ โA classical piece would be nice.โ And here we are ๐

No, itโs the complete opposite. He loves the name. Itโs his motherโs maiden name and he is super close with his grandmother (his mumโs mum) so it has a special meaning

Luker?

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 8th December 2025
Heโs not sure if he was actually concussed, he said because itโs only December they can afford to have him miss a couple of sessions. Not that he was enjoying it, he doesnโt do sidelines well. PS Tracc was definitely a no-show ๐

Saw Kalani take a run and jump grab on the boundary and youโd swear it was Jeff out there.

Oh, I was by no means disputing what you said. I just wanted to make a point of saying that the spray Rooey copped was followed by a more gentle explanation, if you will. I think this is great coaching.

The website still hasnโt been updated but training is at Goschโs this Wednesday and Friday, then next Monday with the final session on Wednesday 17th December. They return at the beginning of the second week of January.

But after training Kingy and Roo walked back to AAMI together and Kingy had his hand on Rooโs back and was talking to him in a gentle tone.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 8th December 2025
Roo was awesome in the match sim. Many of them were. Latrelle is a force to be reckoned with, shrugs off tacklers like theyโre Auskick kids and Iโm talking three attempts in quick succession to bring him down. We saw him do some amazing things today.

Weโre actually not. According to the medical staff weโre not. Only Bowser and Vines are considered โlong-term.โ The worry and stress we experience on here is largely unwarranted. Itโs a whole different outlook from the staff.

They donโt expect Bowser to be up by the beginning of the season but itโs too early to tell so I guess theyโre being conservative
