A Casey Summer Solution

Being the big hoops fan that I am, I remembered a story i had heard about Orlando Magic player Jameer Nelson, arranging for his teammates to go to Philadelphia to train and bond together in the offseason. You can read about it here Summer Training Camp

They are now into their fourth year of running it, and with a finals appearance last year they appear to be on a winner and it got me thinking that it would be a fantastic idea for the MFC, or the players themselves to organize a couple of houses for the summer out near Casey for our core of younger players to train and bond together for the summer, without having to worry about the travel factor that Brock alluded to. Meals and extra weight sessions under a supervised eye could be arranged, and it would be also great for our relations in the Casey area to have some Demon faces around the place. I am not sure if it an expense we could handle, but it would be a fantastic initiative nonetheless.

    Sure, Bonding at an early age can never be a bad thing, even some of the older guys could get involved. Long as there is some sort of loose supervision so that things don't get crazy.

    Yes it could be great PR for casey, but badly handled it could just as easy be a nightmare!

    Contact the club about it. The Idea has sure got legs

    I could see that working. Great thought. As a young guy myself, I can understand how they'd feel, and it would be a benefit.

    All for the concept in general, but in Casey?? Why would young guys want to spend a week in Casey? Perhaps down by the beach somewhere may be a little more enticing during summer.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
