It’s a hammy ☹️

Vines is at a wedding. Salo isn’t well but it’s nothing serious…. another crook in the guts by the sound of it.

Knuckles just limped off, doesn’t look good edit: he’s bearing weight now. Walking freely. They’re taking him for scans

Shane-o is done for the day. No he’s not injured, he’s “crook in the guts” and before anyone pipes up, he was legitimately unwell, I saw him throwing up at the boundary.

Disco is here. Kolt was here but I think he’s gone back to the rooms. Vines a no-show. Leb absent is no surprise coz of his foot skin infection thing. Incidentally Idk what they’re feeding these boys but if X wasn’t wearing his #20 guernsey I may not have recognised him. He’s bigger than I thought. Looks great.

Charles though! Soooo good to see him out there with the others. And no one is happier than him. I’m not 100% sure but I think I saw the corners of his mouth turn up for half a second. Monumental!

Ricky Mentha is wearing #34. He didn’t know this until I told him. The boys all duly bagged him 😂 Then Woey asked me who’s number #34 and I said “Kalani” and it was very well received 🙂

Kolt in rehab along with Melky

The mood is sky-high! The energy is electric. It’s such a great place to be this morning, more so than usual. I can even hear a couple of the boys singing along with the music in the tent. In case anyone is wondering, the song is called “Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom” by Venga Boys (I had to Shazam it).

I have actually been told negative things by players, doesn’t happen often but has happened. I choose not to talk about it on here. Your son has every right to be annoyed, especially given his age. Most of us didn’t have to deal with this sort of thing as kids, not to this degree anyways. BTW, if Koz left there’d be a horde of heartbroken kids such is the prevalence of #36 guernseys.

It’s that time of year where we get started on making new handheld banners and signs etc. I’ve been tasked with providing a list of nicknames for this purpose. What our boss lady doesn’t know is I’ve already compiled one on here 😅 So, a simple task really. Besides updating said list, I’ll be delivering a DA teddy bear to a player. Therefore I won’t be able to furnish the usual comprehensive serious af training report as I usually do (I know right. 😂) so y’all will just have to settle for a Kev or Wayne or Matt Demon et al report. ❤️💙

Katrina’s not just a random supporter. I’m seriously over people calling the likes of Kat and me random supporters. We deserve more credit than that. Why? Because we devote so much time and effort to the club, ridiculous amounts of both, way too many things to list here, some we can’t list here for various reasons. We do it for one reason that being we love our teams. Folks like Katrina and I DON’T want or expect thanks, truly we don’t. But not calling us random supporters would be very welcome.

Huh? So, we do have, or don’t have???

“… and also Pickett on field.” Are you [censored] serious??? You describe Moore’s action which could’ve killed Tracc as “a thug act” and rightly so. But when it comes to the reason for Kozzie’s suspension, Moore’s magically no longer a thug???!!

Who said everything will be rosy? Also, ANY club (ie. not just us) saying everything will be rosy is incomprehensible and total nonsense.

I don’t know. Clue please. Not being a smartarze, I genuinely don’t know.

Booooo! We won’t just crack 60k, we’ll smash it outta the park!!! Never mind the farm, put a dozen eggs on it.

Not to put too fine a point on it but Fritta said Dusty was referring to Disco 🤷‍♀️

Bowser wishes he looked 12yo 😅

It was actually Disco to whom he was referring. He said it to Fritta.

No thanks 🤮 But something I will look at, as should anyone who likes a smile put on their dial is this… 🥰

Their bodies are now suited to the different game-plan and with that comes a raft of benefits, not least of all an abundance of confidence. It’s almost palpable and the vibe is intoxicating. The new boys have walked into this and I reckon that’s why they’re flourishing from the get-go.

This is the biggest change, not just some of the players… pretty much all of them. They’re lean and have amazing muscle definition but aren’t bulky. It’s like they’ve been sculpted. I noticed it in the new year and asked Tom Couch if I was just imagining it. He said it’s a new conditioning program, the focus of which is speed and agility which aligns with the “way the game’s played.” edit: even Bowser has a little six-pack!

Right? They’re always super grateful and some send us pics of their baby with the toy. Maysie sent us pics of little Millie cuddling hers even though it was kinda bigger than her. 🥹

Now, I ask you in all seriousness: if Kozzie’s heart is elsewhere would the toy In Bellanie’s cot be there? Methinks not. 😅 It’s a DA tradition… our awesome resident knitter buys a big stuffed toy and knits a guernsey with the player’s number on the back. It’s given to the player in question just before or just after the birth. And I have the job of courier 🥰
