It’s known as a recovery run but just this year the coaches and physios etc. have been calling it a flush run.

They actually don’t get a choice, they’re told who goes where, when and what they have to do next. It does look unstructured to us, but it’s actually not. The only reason I’m bringing this up is because I see people replying/reacting to your post with anger at the thought of the players opting to go inside because it’s too cold. That didn’t happen. That would never happen. As far as I know - from what I’ve been told - the only time choice comes into the equation is at the captain’s runs where Max chooses what’s to be done and by whom. Also, I have a mate who regularly attends training at Casey and she said they practice goal-kicking every session and for a significant length of time.

It’s a great t-shirt but I think there were many leftovers because they’re $70 each.

I remember that 🙂

I also agree with some of what PF says. It’s the relentless repetition that does my head in. And he’s not alone in this respect; there are some folks on here who just don’t let up.

No, Picket Fence is too busy (YELLING THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN) to be at Gosch’s. 🙃

CARRYST! You’re a BROKEN BLOODY RECORD, aintchya PICKET?!?!?! FAAAARK you really don’t hate repeating yourself DO YOU?!!!!!! 🤨

Hey Kev (long time, no see 😃) just wondering who told you they had the choice? I was told a different story.

Not flat at all, DZ. In fact, very upbeat. Positive vibes all ‘round. The players and coaches and training staff don’t dwell on losses and if they do they don’t show it* not during the flush runs anyways. They were the same (mood-wise) today as they were following the Lions game. Today’s soccer match was the most hotly contested I’ve seen. They were very loud and more animated than usual and were thoroughly enjoying it. Apologies to those who hate hearing about the boys kicking a soccer ball around but this is a flush run and kicking a soccer ball around meets the brief in that respect… IN MY VERY HUMBLE OPINION. *The only exception to this I’ve seen was the flush run after Gather Round, understandable since it was after the fifth consecutive loss.

Correction: Jeffo is here

No Rick Lever, no Melky. AMW looking good and looking very happy. Doing one-on-ones with a trainer. Spargs running along the boundary, in great spirits.

I told JVR he might need his big boy pants for Monday. He said he hasn’t been told yet either way. I said it makes sense to have him selected this week. He said (take a deep breath, PF) “Jeffo’s kicked 10 goals in the past two weeks, it will probably be him.” Probably just a coincidence but Jeffo’s not here today.

Clarrie’s not here, nothing to worry about, it’s just that these sessions are tailored to the individuals and Claz is “Off Legs” today which is sports medicine speak for not running.

Kev is here so expect a decent training report. Sorry, @Roost it far , the deadline of 4pm won’t be met today coz it’s 3pm and they’re not even out on the park yet. I don’t blame them, it’s [censored] freezing right now

Trigger alert!

Yeah I watched it on TV and it annoyed me greatly that they neglected to show different sections of the crowd. It’s particularly annoying because our DA people that made the trip spent much time giving out flags to the adoring fans and setting up a cheer squad, a pretty decent one at that, considering only eight of them were there.

Again, not true. Sure, some of them may not love it, but the majority do. Maybe in the past players didn’t like it, but this current crop certainly do.

Easily 75% possibly more. We have a group of DA members who attend every year and they always talk about how many Dees supporters are there, compared to oppo. As @DeeZone said, the TV coverage would have you believe it was 50/50 but in reality that’s not the case. And honestly, we could get thumped every year and that wouldn’t dampen their enthusiasm one iota. The kids in particular look forward to this game months out and talk about it for months afterwards. For some it’s the highlight of their year.

This is so far from the truth. The overwhelming majority of the locals are going for us. They don’t know of nor would they care about the Melbourne stereotype. We could lose every single game there and nothing would change that. Yes there are supporters of the opposition (St Kilda and Essendon in particular seem to attract supporters) but nowhere near the number of Dees supporters.

I don’t eat KFC either but I had no problem finding friends who do. They give you 52 $30 vouchers which expire in 12 months and I reckon I offloaded the lot in the first month! Thanks for voting, F&T. Now hopefully everyone else votes.

Have y’all voted yet? You’ve got ‘til Thursday to do so, let’s get Disco over the line!!! Do we wanna see Bobby Hill win? Hell no! Those feral supporters will vote for him, make no mistake. And who’s gonna vote for the third mark? No one that’s who, coz no one knows who he is 😅 VOTE NOW FOR OUR AMAZING #10 PS: you can go in the running to win $5000! What’s that I hear you say… you never win anything? Well, that’s what I always thought too. Then during the Test Match cricket one year I won the Classic Catches prize: $2000 & a year’s supply of KFC! Winning can and does happen! JUST VOTE FFS! (Please)

VOTE FOR DISCO!

The two-match ban is about right imo. What I have a problem with is all the talk on here about how we need someone crashing packs, no fear, grunt etc. We get AJ who fits the bill, he’s suspended, so now he’s dumb??? It’s a fine line he treads, let’s have his back.

Unfortunately, despite having you on ignore I can’t avoid seeing your comments when someone quotes you. Believe me, if there was a way to never see anything you’ve posted I’d be all across it. Anyways, you said Goody’s game plan sucks. You were asked which part of the game plan sucked yesterday. You have yet to answer the question.

You haven’t answered the question, SWYL.
