Clarry’s favourite colour is blue.

Jai is in a moon boot.

They are training this morning. They’re only gonna be out here for half an hour, having a “muck around match” 🤷‍♀️

There may not be a training report at all since there may not be training. We’ve been here since 8:30am and there’s no sign of anyone. Usually by now the truck is here and the property guys are setting up props etc. and the marquee is up.

This morning’s session will go for only an hour. Minus putting boots on, water/sunscreen breaks and play-fights, that’s approximately 13 mins of legit training. Therefore please don’t expect much of a training report (looking at you, @Roost it far) 😁

Richo used to open the gate if there was only a couple of spectators. Someone on DL expressed their displeasure and now the gate is never opened. I’m not saying that this is the reason why, but if it’s a coincidence, it’s a huge one. Unfortunately my sis from another mr was one of those lucky (now unlucky) spectators. ☹️

Hendo trained but no specific update on him. The gates were locked and my friend couldn’t see much of what was going on.

I have a friend who lives in Frankston and she goes to training at “Crannie” as she calls it. I didn’t want old mate Roost it far to bang on all day about a training report, or lack thereof, so I was messaging her like, just give me something… anything! 😅

I thought it was a bone in his foot, at the top of his foot (where shoelaces are). I’m quite sure that’s what he said. But according to my buddy he was running a lot today and it makes sense because we saw him taking his first run last Friday and he kept on running so I imagine he’s improving with each time.

And… There’s nothing hampering him. He’s training and playing as if back spasms never even happened. Is that enough elaboration for you, Sire? btw I’m annoying my sister from another mister, messaging her begging for info and it’s all because of you!

Roo is there participating in a match sim. Looks fine. 👍🏽 As noted, Petts trained as normal. Kolt is running A LOT. Looking really good.

The ring on Maysie’s finger (above) isn’t a fashion statement. It’s like a Fitbit but worn on the finger, not the wrist. It monitors sleep, energy expended, heart-rate etc. How’s this for a half-baked idea: At the Season Launch Salo took his ring off and handed it to me. I said imagine how funny it’d be if I wore it for the night. The Club would be justifiably worried sick about the data received and they’d be like wtf has happened to Christian? And they’d put him on the long-term injury list. 😅 We had a laugh about it but decided yeah nah, not funny at all.

Yes! In particular, folks from India. I’ve met two separate Indian spectators at training who’ve asked me about the Demon Army and both have signed up, one signed up his girlfriend and the other signed up her son. That’s four MFC & DA memberships. They’ve told me they chose Melbourne upon arriving in Australia because it’s the name of the city they now call home. Besides that, they’re passionate Test Match cricket fans and that passion is easily funnelled into footy during winter. There’s a market just waiting to be tapped into!

See You Next Tuesday 😁 But I get to pick the music that opens our show, k? I don’t know what it will be but what I do know is that it’ll be better than the song that opens the Demonland podcast coz no song is as bad as that one.

I suppose it would be nice and warm inside a bowling pin costume, as long as we don’t wear them when it’s hot. Last year we wore the Gussy helmets for round one and the temperature hovered around 30 degrees. It was the world’s worst case of mass bad hair day when the siren sounded and we ripped them off. Funnily enough, that match was a rare occasion where no one was hit in the head with the ball.

On Monday nights? Wouldn’t we be stealing the Demonland podcast’s listeners?

If he is dropped I hope we know before the 13th of March. I have no opinion on whether or not he should be dropped, I’m more concerned with making a special banner and not being able to use it. Or having to leave the Jimmy side intact and last-minute changing to the other side of a heavy detailed banner which is a pain in the arze. PS I have nfi what your aubergine/Rangoon analogy means.

Jim’s Game and Fritta’s 150th both figure on the round one banner. Our very clever boss-lady suggested we tie the two in together and have “BAYLEY O’FRITTA 150 GAMES” 🤣

Like it’s not dangerous enough being directly behind the goals as it is. 😂

Killing on the name (of) is an awesome choice and it’s one of many awesome choices but again, they don’t flow nicely into the ebullient opening burst of our song. Even Scatman can’t match it.

You can spend a lifetime searching and you’ll still not find an appropriate song to lead into our club song. In the history of mankind has there ever been a happier explosion of happiness to open a song as ours is? I think not.

This is what I was told too, Kev. So, it’s pretty much the same format only the Casey session is tomorrow instead of today, thus enabling the boys to have what will be their last break for a while.

Of course it was! We believe you. Luckily there are plenty more opportunities for you to attend and I tell you this: you’d wanna submit a kickarze report, and in a timely fashion. I trust we understand one another.

You’re a Snorbs gal??????

Thanks Luci.
