  1. Luker says his recovery will be loooong. Minimum two months. He’s doing very, very light exercises and stopping frequently. He’s still barely recognisable.
  2. Koz and Roy Boy having a water fight. GW, reporting on the stuff that matters.
  3. I know at least one of them isn’t playing tomorrow.
  4. The main group isn’t out here yet. There’s about six or seven players out there and I’m guessing these are the boys NOT playing tomorrow. There’s Langers, Tracc, Knuckles, Vines, Charles, Salo, Max, and Fritta. Knuckles is running well around the boundary. Jack Henderson is here too and Maysie is in this group.
  5. They’re out on the ground already. I didn’t get here early enough to take note of who’s here and who isn’t, (too busy chatting to Alejandro, my gorgeous Colombian barista) but with my cr@pppy eyesight I’ll endeavour to note attendance. Hopefully Kev turns up, for everyone’s sake. 🤪 Thus far I’m the only spectator 😭
  6. But don’t be surprised if they’re out there at 9:30am or even 9am. They changed the start time to 9:30 a while ago.
  7. Yes but your barista isn’t an adorable Colombian guy. Mine is. And he’s a Demons fan too. Granted, he knew nothing about AFL until he met me but he’s onboard now. So what if he occasionally says Devils instead of Demons, English is his fourth or fifth language so he can be forgiven.
  8. Outside Richmond station there’s a kiosk called Pink Lemonade and the barista, Alejandro, makes THE BEST coffee. Toasties and muffins etc. are also on offer. Richmond is full of great eateries.
  9. Has a great attitude too, does Howesy. Always super positive. Always keen af in whatever he’s doing. I reckon he’d be a joy to coach.
  10. If 15k turned up it would definitely be a disaster. Capacity is officially 4k. And many will be bringing camp chairs. I think the weather will put many people off. Regardless, there’ll be way more of their supporters than ours.
  11. Training is on a Saturday when it’s a Captain’s Run before a Sunday match. So, you should have several opportunities this season. 😭
  12. All that’s left out is the part about being in pairs and holding hands at all times. šŸ˜‚
  13. 20 is actually an even number 😁
  14. I have no idea how these things go. Goody said they’re looking at about 20 in the background and that that’s not unusual.
  15. You’re sch!ttting yourself, aren’t you? You even stuttered in your second sentence 🤭
  16. This is where the Demon Army will be for both matches on Saturday. It’s the end of the ground where Arden St and Macaulay Rd meet.
  17. I’ve always thought the address was Macaulay Rd because that side of the ground is super close to Macaulay Rd.
  18. There’ll be more people turning up at 11am than 10am. Unless everyone calls one of the two clubs and asks them to double check having been told it’s at 11 am šŸ™„
  19. Just wanna add… don’t be surprised if you’re stopped at the entrance and told no chairs allowed. This happened early in the W comp in 2023 at Casey. That’s been changed since but it almost happened again last year at a W match at Windy Hill. They would’ve knocked back chairs only this time we asked in advance then fought and fought to get permission and even then it was still no chairs allowed but they provided 20 plastic chairs (god how I hate Essendon).
  20. At Gosch’s last week I asked Ricky M why he was wearing #34. He hadn’t realised he was wearing the wrong jumper and when he did all the boys laughed. Then young Woey asked me ā€œwho’s #34?ā€ I said ā€œKalani Whiteā€ and they loved it. 😁
  21. Well we can’t have egg on your face now, can we! Have you seen the price of eggs?! My beloved pet hens are in hot demand atm. I’ve people whom I’ve not seen in ages calling me out of the blue asking about eggs, knowing my son and I don’t eat them. They’re gold right now! As for the start time of the match, the Fritsch family is making the big trek to my neck of the woods and Fritta made a point of telling his mum it’s been changed to 10am for that reason. I have a friend in MFC admin who confirmed it.
  22. No worries, BBP. Sadly, it’s almost like the Club doesn’t really care if folks turn up for the matches, especially the Casey match. Maybe it’s because entry is free so there’s no incentive. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø I hope heaps of people turn up though. It’s good for the players to see and hear the love and support. Especially after the letdown of family day last Friday. At training on Monday many of the boys thanked me for attending with five or six of them adding a little sarcastic postscript about bugger-all people turning up. They know it’s the scheduling and not apathy on the part of the fans.
  23. Yes. A player’s mum told me about the new start time so I rang a buddy in admin and he confirmed it.
