It doesn’t make any difference. A grand total of zero.

Huh? Neither are playing tomorrow. Should’ve told Jai, AMW and Ricky this before they signed contracts this arvo. It’s “rabble” not “rubble”

What a bizarre call to bid good luck to people who are willingly attending a match, you know, people who want to attend. Why would we need good luck?

I hope so for the obvious reasons but also because he’s on 247 games and I’d love to see him play his 250th.

So sorry for the heartbreaking loss of your mate including the manner of death and the reasons that drove him to it. Your first paragraph is spot on. If the punishment did fit the crime when it was five weeks it certainly doesn’t now that it’s been reduced.

There’s a new low, right there.

Paywall. But is this really what the compelling medical submissions were about??!!

I’d definitely go Heater. She’s a tiny little human being who doesn’t say much but she’ll slam-tackle anyone who gets in her path regardless of their size. And she sticks her tackles too. She’s feisty to say the least. And Paxy who is soft-spoken and has a gentle disposition which belies the way they play.

On my way home from banner making (final men’s banner for 2025 ☹️) and my train is packed with Essendon and Carlton supporters. Probs 75% Essendon. I’ve never given the stink-eye to so many people at once. Someone needs to remind all of them that their teams suck. But it can’t be me coz my team sucks too. Where’s a filth supporter when you need one?

I knew the driving-related meaning as well as the (cough Bailey Smith cough) meaning. Didn’t know the sports-related meaning, until now. Thanks, my good man.

Did you read where I said he’s not bigheaded? This might tip him over on the bighead scale. 😅

Totally! He really stood out today. He cuts an imposing figure. AJ is the sweetest person off-field, he’s quiet and gentle-natured. I once asked him about the Jeckyll & Hyde thing and he said, “I don’t know, I just step onto the field and instantly get white line fever, every time.” I thought white line fever was when a driver is kind of hypnotised by the lines on the road during a long period of driving, but clearly there’s a sports-related meaning as well 🤷‍♀️

Today I saw a side to Roo that I like. I told him the idea of him as a defender has been brought up online. He said, “Yeah but we need forwards.” I said I personally don’t like seeing him in the ruck since he’ll be bashed and smashed every week. He said, “You’re right but I’ll continue to ruck because I’m really good at it.” He didn’t say it in a bigheaded way, it was more matter-of-factly. The right amount of confidence is a good thing.

So, you drop off the face of the earth weeks ago, now you’re back with your demanding ways? What a cheek! Anyways, it’s gush all the way for me. Today there was an air of sadness and it was hard to concentrate on what the players were doing. Besides, I spent some time babysitting the property manager’s adorable little boy, and some time playing with Bellanie Pickett while chatting with Ardu, also a sad part of the session. Incidentally, regardless of the recent events and how they impact him, Kozzie doesn’t regret re-signing.

I asked Chocco if he’d heard what Cornes has said. He said he has, but shook his head and said “Nah” in a dismissive way. It was as if to say what Cornes said doesn’t make a difference.

That would’ve been LMac, Tmac’s son Leo. Tmac’s fam attend training sessions a lot because Leo insists on going. He loves being there. I always ask little Dees kids who their favourite player is. One time Leo was standing nearby so I asked him who his favourite player is. I expected him to say “My dad.” Instead he said, “Tom McDonald, number 25, Demons.” So formal 😁

So sad saying goodbye to Chocco. Thanked him sincerely for all he’s done for us and wished him well for whatever the future holds. But before I started talking, he thanked me; a really warm and heartfelt thank you. I said I’ll still love him when he’s with another club. He said he doesn’t think anyone will be interested in taking him onboard. I’ve never seen him humble. I’ve also never had anywhere near a serious conversation with him so the whole interaction was difficult. It would’ve been easier had we just hung sch!ttt on each other like usual.

This is just a hunch, HW.

My prediction… The Judd re-signing announcement will follow shortly after the new coach is announced.

Final captain’s run for 2025. Chocco is here. Right now he’s working one-on-one with Tracc goal-kicking. They had a big hug before they started 🥹

Dees are hosting the Saints at Casey this Saturday at 3:05pm. Gates open at 2pm. The DA will be putting on a sausage sizzle so bring an empty belly! Yes, there are other food outlets, but our food is cheaper and more delish than theirs 😋 Come and support the W!!!

But everyone knows that anything I ever say on here should be taken with a grain of salt. I’ve been accused of embellishment, passing off guesses as facts and even straight up fabrication. Besides, I heard of this while with a group of others who also heard it so it’s not like huge attempts are being made to keep it quiet. Also, it’s hardly earth-shattering news, it actually comes as no surprise. Finally, please don’t say you appreciate the update and sentiment when you obviously don’t. That’s called lying.

Marty’s news isn’t official yet.

Ok. Do you think my girl Lily be omitted? Is that better? 🤪

He just has. His recovery is coming along great and he’s really pleased about it but he knows it’s time to call time on his career.
