I need to apologise for saying Kozzie was a late out. We had DA members at Casey and they announced it in our group WhatsApp and it spread like wildfire throughout the cheer squad. Sorry for worrying folks. But more importantly… HOW BLOODY GOOD WAS THAT WIN !!! All the emotions running amok but the main one was RELIEF. So, so proud of our boys. PS: ‘twas my lucky Melbourne socks that did it. YOU’RE ALL WELCOME! Needless to say I’ll be wearing them every week. Again, you’re all welcome 😁 YEAH THE MIGHTY DEES!

Yep.

No Koz. It’s getting so hard to maintain the positivity but we’re still a chance, always a chance no matter what.

This is right now at North Melbourne station. Gotta drink three of these babies before I enter the ground because I don’t wanna do the usual smuggling them in lest the over-zealous bag-checkers find them. Not chugging them all at the gate, been there, done that, felt sick.

I’m not superstitious but I do wear the same Melbourne socks to every match. However, this year I’ve been wearing our new Demon Army socks. I couldn’t find them this morning so I’m wearing the Melbourne socks today. We all know what that means, don’t we boys and girls?! Yep, a win for sure! Y’all are soooo welcome 😘

Note: gates open earlier today (11:30am), due to the extra time needed to check folks upon entry. Sadly though, I don’t think the extra time is needed since it won’t take long to check so few people 😢

Three coffees and two Red Bulls in and I’m fired up and ready to go!!! There’s a chance we’ll lose today. There’s a chance we’ll win. I’m gonna focus on the chance of a win. Us by a Charlie SpargiPants (9pts) RAISE HELL, DEES! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

That’s his nickname: Full-cream milk.

Fritta has already been told he’s only playing a half at Casey then he’s heading over to the ‘G before the start of the firsts.

Both “trained” normally, although today’s session was really not much to go by because there were kids running around etc. and not a lot of training was happening (today of all days… no soccer balls!). Yesterday my friend was at Casey and said both Koz and Maysie trained unhampered.

Warning: some posters may be triggered by this report… Big Easter egg hunt on right now at Gosch’s for the kids of players and coaching staff. Bmac (Bella McDonald) is absolutely cleaning up. Childless players are heading over from AAMI now 😅

Yeah let’s go with “confused” coz were I to quote them the profanity filter on here would blow up.

Fun Fact Ed Langdon & Oscar McDonald both debuted in the same game Ed for Freo and Oscar for us Vice versa when they play against each other tomorrow 😃

Thanks. I told Mrs Fritta I’d find out what the go is. Actually, it’s hard for his fam. They’re going to Casey to support him (including 12-day-old son, Noah) and now they’ll have to pack up everything and everyone at halftime to head over to the ‘G. I guess they don’t have to be there right on time for the first bounce since it’s highly unlikely that Fritta will be out on the field at that time, but now that I’ve said it… 😬😳 One more question, or rather, an opinion… Do you think Fritta will be put back in the firsts next week, or more importantly, the week after (vs Eagles in Perth)?

I’ve a question… So, Fritta’s been named as an emergency meaning he has to be at the ‘G for the firsts, right? He’s been told he’s in the Casey side playing at Casey Fields in a match that starts at 11:05am tomorrow. Yesterday morning when he was told he’s been dropped he was told he’d be playing a half at Casey. Does this mean he’ll leave Casey Fields at halftime and head to the ‘G before the start of the seniors match? If so, is that something that happens regularly? That’s actually three questions, but what’s an extra couple o’ questions between friends? Four questions now. 😅

… a debut. A debut of anyone in red and blue, regardless of who he/she is. In this case it’s Tommy Fullarton and we all need to get behind him and have faith in him. GO OUT THERE AND GIVE ‘EM HELL, CREAM!!!

You’d have to be closest to the pin prediction-wise. Nice!

It may well be what he meant but it’s NOT what he said. You can’t expect a comment like that to remain unaddressed. Incidentally, I don’t think that’s what he meant at all. I think by “one lousy flag” he meant it was a lousy flag because it wasn’t followed by more flags, and it has little to do with where it was played. You’ve just furnished him with an excuse. #FreudianVibesAplenty

And it’s posts like this that make me laugh because you can want him gone all you like, he’s going nowhere. 😅

Yeah I left out the coming up bit, which I shouldn’t have since I came up as quickly as possible.

The drop from the first of these consecutive posts to the second is so extreme I’ve got the bends. 😅

Not naïve whatsoever. It’s a fact: both sides are equal on the scoreboard before the match starts. There’s every chance of a win. I also love watching the boys warm up, and seeing the stands slowly fill. We set up our bay with flags and giant heads etc. and the mood is always good, even if it’s raining. Red Sox or Redlegs… you’re a loyal fan who is always hopeful, imo that’s the best kind of fan.

Not foolish at all, NC. That excitement before the start of each game is right up there with the best things about footy.

As soon as I wake up on GameDay I’m excited because it’s a new week and there’s always a chance we’ll win. (I remind myself that the scoreboard shows 0.0.0 for both teams at the first bounce.) I get to the ground super early - especially when it’s at the ‘G - to soak up the vibe. For me GameDay is never not exciting, even when we play at Mordor or Carrara.
