Patience PF. Kev was here and I’m sure he’ll furnish a comprehensive report. I hope so lest we incur the wrath of big bad @Roost it far

I’d give the win to Koz, because the water fight ended when Roy squirted his bottle at Koz and Koz doing Koz things, sidestepped in a flash and the water hit Selwyn. 😬

It’s a wrap. Short session but great vibes. They’re champing at the bit to get the season going.

Not tomorrow

Leb is a very happy lad. He said it’s good to be back in boots. About his injury- listed as a skin infection, he thought it was an ingrown hair at first but the medics said it was likely a spider bite and it became infected. In any case, it’s been cut out. It’s his big toe which is now sporting three stitches and he temporarily can’t bend it. He’s not playing tomorrow but has been told he’ll get a run vs Freo next week.

Luker says his recovery will be loooong. Minimum two months. He’s doing very, very light exercises and stopping frequently. He’s still barely recognisable.

Koz and Roy Boy having a water fight. GW, reporting on the stuff that matters.

I know at least one of them isn’t playing tomorrow.

The main group isn’t out here yet. There’s about six or seven players out there and I’m guessing these are the boys NOT playing tomorrow. There’s Langers, Tracc, Knuckles, Vines, Charles, Salo, Max, and Fritta. Knuckles is running well around the boundary. Jack Henderson is here too and Maysie is in this group.

They’re out on the ground already. I didn’t get here early enough to take note of who’s here and who isn’t, (too busy chatting to Alejandro, my gorgeous Colombian barista) but with my cr@pppy eyesight I’ll endeavour to note attendance. Hopefully Kev turns up, for everyone’s sake. 🤪 Thus far I’m the only spectator 😭

But don’t be surprised if they’re out there at 9:30am or even 9am. They changed the start time to 9:30 a while ago.

Okaaaaay

Yes but your barista isn’t an adorable Colombian guy. Mine is. And he’s a Demons fan too. Granted, he knew nothing about AFL until he met me but he’s onboard now. So what if he occasionally says Devils instead of Demons, English is his fourth or fifth language so he can be forgiven.

Outside Richmond station there’s a kiosk called Pink Lemonade and the barista, Alejandro, makes THE BEST coffee. Toasties and muffins etc. are also on offer. Richmond is full of great eateries.

Has a great attitude too, does Howesy. Always super positive. Always keen af in whatever he’s doing. I reckon he’d be a joy to coach.

If 15k turned up it would definitely be a disaster. Capacity is officially 4k. And many will be bringing camp chairs. I think the weather will put many people off. Regardless, there’ll be way more of their supporters than ours.

Training is on a Saturday when it’s a Captain’s Run before a Sunday match. So, you should have several opportunities this season. 😭

All that’s left out is the part about being in pairs and holding hands at all times. 😂

20 is actually an even number 😁

I have no idea how these things go. Goody said they’re looking at about 20 in the background and that that’s not unusual.

You’re sch!ttting yourself, aren’t you? You even stuttered in your second sentence 🤭

This is where the Demon Army will be for both matches on Saturday. It’s the end of the ground where Arden St and Macaulay Rd meet.

I’ve always thought the address was Macaulay Rd because that side of the ground is super close to Macaulay Rd.

There’ll be more people turning up at 11am than 10am. Unless everyone calls one of the two clubs and asks them to double check having been told it’s at 11 am 🙄
