I hope it's not a Visy bin.If it is better check it for brown paper bags
Youre a star Jackie. a great report
A sunny, windy day at Tullamarine with just a few players training.If this practice continues I will keep you updated but as someone commented on another thread there’s not a lot to write about at the moment but the tension is slowly building as the hangar squats, Sphinx like on the windy plains of Tullamarine.
Was going to make some sort of mention of the pyramids with respect to Tiffany but decided I was way too classy.
There is NO climate change happening, don't you know that? On the far south coast of NSW, we are getting tropical fish coming down in the currents. Even had a dugong down here last year in the Lake, they had to fly by helicopter back top the tropics. No, I am not joking.A sunny, windy day at Tullamarine with just a few players training.The main point of interest was Joey practising his goal kicking. He had about fifty set shots today and if he doesn’t improve it won’t be from want of trying but conditions today were difficult with a strong cross wind. I noticed that he was wearing a glove on his right hand but it didn’t appear to make a difference one way or the other.
Zach Merret was helping Joey today standing the mark and providing some company and presumably a little bit of encouragement. Zach has leadership written all over him and Joey returned the favour as Zach did some snapshots with Joe providing an obstacle the be bypassed. As Zach develops as a player increasing the number of goals he kicks should propel him up the Brownlow ladder and will really help the team.
Shaun McKernan was doing some running with a trainer - presumably on the road back after his operations. I take this as a strong indication that he will remain on the list and provide some competition/coverage for Bellchambers and Stewart.
I had a chat with Dave the groundsman (he also looks after Windy Hill and Lakeside). The heavy October rains have created some problems creating lower than normal ground temperatures which, while it leaves the rye grass largely unaffected, slows the growth of the all important cooch and the heavy rain has increased the growth of broad leafed weeds. This said the oval looks to be in superb condition.
What about the wheelie bin you might ask? The traditional green bin has been replaced by a yellow bin colour co-ordinated to match the sixteen yellow footballs it contains. Those of you who went to training at Windy Hill will remember that during the Sheedy era a good deal of the training sessions were taken up with trying to lob kick footballs into the open bin - Gary O’Donnell being the champ. In an unusual twist the bin was lying down today but with the lid open. Our goal kickers made a number of attempts to dribble kick into the opening of the recumbent bin without success. If this practice continues I will keep you updated but as someone commented on another thread there’s not a lot to write about at the moment but the tension is slowly building as the hangar squats, Sphinx like on the windy plains of Tullamarine.
Interesting you mention this re lower than normal ground temperatures.
we have had this same issue in tasmania with farmers unable to plant crops due to the lower than normal ground temperatures.
this time of year it should be around 8c and has been around 4c this was mentioned to me approx a week ago.

Tiffany says thanks and will refrain from any comment about Cleopatra’s needle in relation to you.
Bin spotted.
Bin is back. Lid off.
Where’s it bin?
Nah, where’s it wheelie bin???
why would you do that?
why would you do that?
Boredom. Have a look where it is.
why would you do that?
Natural selection at work.
Thanks Jackie.
I know it’s very early days but I’m disappointed their isn’t a specialist working with Joe. If we don’t mean to appoint someone to work with him I’d find that baffling and a very poor decision. If we do, then let’s do it now, the more time with him preason would surely give them both the best opportunity.

Stupidity.

Wants to compete in the Tokyo Paralympics.

I tend to agree and there wasn’t even a trainer to return the footies to him he had to fox his own. One of the ‘one percenters’ the very large training staff could consider.
Ive been to jail
Then you should be able to spell it
