Schrödinger’s contract

Fish was nowhere to be seen.

I kid you not Jaded, she wasn’t near a microphone. True story. She does this at every match and we’re all at the point of not even noticing it anymore. LOL when someone new sits with us for the first time and Charles gets the ball, she lets loose with the shrieking and they’re like WTF was THAT?! 😅 It’s indeed a SpargiPants cheer squad but it’s a one-person cheer squad.

Poor Charles 😢

Didn’t he look great running through the middle with ball in hand: with purpose and so confident, he knew exactly what to do.

So this week I checked and double-checked and even triple-checked that I had my phone before leaving the rooms (something I should’ve done last match, but didn’t 🙄). But as I was walking out of the ground I heard someone call my name from a distance. It was Bill Laurie and he was holding something up. I ran back and he said “You must’ve dropped this.” It was my Luker badge. I said “How did you know it’s mine?” He said, “We all knew it was yours. Everyone knows how much you love him.” And here I thought I was being discreet. 😅

I don’t know about today but two weeks ago vs Box Hill it was compulsory for the seniors to be there

Apparently Steven King was there taking notes, as was a ‘scout’ from another club but I can’t remember who.

No idea. We were wondering the same thing.

He seems a nice person. But then so do most folks when you first meet them. He was standing with Paul Guerra but I didn’t know who he was. I said to Paul “Now Paul, you know what you have to say, don’t you.” And Paul said, “Yes Ghosty… Essendon is dead to me.” 😂 Steve laughed at this and I said, “This is NOT a laughing matter! I’m trying to exorcise the Essendonness outta him!” Then Paul tells me who he is. 🤭

Was it a very rare moment where she was quietly standing still? Please say yes

No Clarrie

I didn’t see him but was told he was spotted there. No Claz though. Some of the firsts came into the rooms after the match. Max was there congratulating the boys and he had George and Louis with him.

Max is here, as is X, Harves, Salo, Tracc, Fritta. Probably the whole side.

Poor Charles. They attempted to put his shoulder back in while he was on the bench. Unfortunately it didn’t work and the pain etched on his face was hard to see

Maysie, Spaz, Chin, Rooey, Riv. There are more but they’re the ones I’ve seen

Nah that’s Claire. She’s his #1 fan. She’s a DA gal and her boyfriend sits with her and doesn’t mind her screeching like a banshee every time Charles goes near the ball. Well, he has no choice.

My boy Luker is a ⭐️

Captain courageous Deaks is wearing #34 coz his jumper got torn. Clearly the budget doesn’t allow for a spare at every match at it does with the seniors.

First bounce is at 2:10pm. You have a better chance of seeing it than I do 😅 I’m still on the train to Cranbourne.

I don’t know Clyde nor Berwick but chances are I’ll (unnecessarily) visit both at some stage today.

I’m currently on the replacement bus from hell (tautological coz there’s no other kind of replacement bus). I know how to get to Casey ordinarily but yet another awesome thing about replacement buses is that the minute they depart there goes any semblance of familiar surroundings. I asked the bus driver to please tell me when we’re at Springvale station. He said, no coz he needs to concentrate on driving. But… another passenger overheard and he’s getting off there so he said to get off when he does. Sounds good right? Yeah nah, not good at all. A couple of minutes later he was talking and laughing to himself or the voices in his head or whomever (no Bluetooth in sight). And now I’ve just noticed he’s asleep. I could be anywhere right now. If ever a team owed a fan a win… this is it. Update: another passenger kindly told me we’re approaching my stop. My snuggle -buddy was still asleep (perilously close to my shoulder 😳) so I did the righty and woke him since it’s his stop too. Turns out that was the wrongy. He was filthy on being woken. Called me a Marty Hore minus the Marty and with W before Hore 😱

Tbf, there are worse shows than Aussie Truckers. They number in the 10s, but they do exist 😁

I don’t feel the cold, Slartz. The rain, on the other hand… my poncho is my bff today.

My ebullience meter is jammed on ‘High’ for this one. I’ve only seen Casey live three or four times this season and they’ve all been losses. Vs Box Hill two weeks ago was the first win. They’re so impressive, and 100% invested. Deaks is an awesome captain. GO THE MIGHTY CASEY DEMONS! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙
