At Least I Saw a Flag

True fact ... When I see someone wearing a Demons cap or other garment (not at the footy) I usually say "go Dees" rather than "morning", "g'day" etc to that person. It is invariably met with a good response.

He calls Neil-Bullen "Bullen". The consumate professsional !!

The dump kick to the left pocket seems to have been discarded today.

I hate it. I could put up with it if I was given the task of picking the songs.

I met him at the Family Day. He's a very quiet, polite, charming, reserved young man. I agree with the comments that he'd be hating the attention he's getting. Even though he told me he'd be staying, I suspect he's far from making a decision.

Here's the thing. Towards the end of the 2022 season, his form was abysmal. He should have been dropped. But he wasn't dropped because the Club was trying to convince him to stay. He was a total liability in the finals' matches. Would the team have performed better with him out of the side? (Please cue Twilight Zone type music.)

I met Kozzy today at the Family Day. What a charming young man! I asked him whether he would sign up with the Dees for next season. He said yes. I asked him whether I could record that ... he said no !! I remember when MFC picked him at #12 in the draft. At the time I thought that was 'overs'. In hindsight ... what a steal!!

I popped in for a little while. Seemed to be well organised, and a very pleasant atmosphere. No sign of Max, Angus, Trac, Viney and a few other A graders when I was there. Perhaps they turned up later? I had short chats with Kozzy & Langers ... both really nice. I asked Kozzy if he was signing on for next year. He said yes. I asked if I could record that ... he said no!! I asked Langers about his rib injury from last year. Supposedly 'bruised'. He said that he had broken ribs ... x 4 !! Which is obviously why his form dropped off so much.

I hate the filth .... tripplechins .... joffa .... buckley ... their feral supporters ... et al.

I see what you did there ... 🤣

Whatever

The comments about Isaac Smith regretting going to Jee-long instead of Melbourne didn't age well. 2022 ... premiership medal ... Norm Smith medal.

I had dinner at the Peppercorn Hotel in Yea some years ago. It was excellent ...

I love him ... 😍

If Jupiter aligned with Mars (cf. Uranus), then peace would guide the planets, and love will steer the stars.

Like others, I turned up at Goschs Paddock this morning. I had arranged to meet my son + his partner who are out from the UK for a few weeks. Very disappointing .... Only saving grace was having breakfast with my son + partner in Swan Street when we realised that training wasn't happening. I felt particularly sorry for the couple + little boy who were there. The boy must have been very disappointed.

Did you squeeze it?

Daisy is the football equivalent of the Get Smart character Simon the Likeable. (The tennis equivalent was/is Ash Barty.) Who doesn't love Daisy? She's charming, intelligent ... [insert other adjectives here]. However I'm glad she has decided to retire. She was pretty much cooked as a player. Shame she's going to the puddy tatts though.

The sky is falling !!!

I have a cunning plan* Kick the ball to the wing. Winger to hold the ball for an eternity, then kick to forward (left) pocket where everyone is congregated, ignoring any leads from teammates elsewhere. *Well, Baldrick should take some of the credit.

Yeah ... size isn't everything ...

What time is training at GS tomorrow? Might swing past while on a bike ride*. *subject to the climatic conditions

My son likened it to the Jack Fitzpatrick tunnel ball incident.

I'm concerned that this thread seems to have dropped off everyone's radar. 🤔
