I received notification on 3 of our players whom I enquired about- just thought I'd give you the update.We will gain knowledge on others during the Xmas break.

Hello John,

Here is the update from the Footy Dept on the players you requested

Col Garland

The Club is taking a cautious approach with Garland’s injury. About 11 weeks ago scans confirmed bone stress in the talus bone of his right ankle. Following the scans, he wore a protective boot to rehabilitate the injury and he has now been walking and jogging out of the boot for the past six weeks.

At training he has been participating in stationary handball and kicking skills. He also does a lot of cross training around the bike track at Casey as well as swimming and running in the water.

The other good news is that Colin has started his running program and the fitness staff will increase his activity after the Christmas break.

Austin Wonaeamirri

Austin is progressing really well. He has fully recovered from the knee injuries that plagued him last year.

At training, Austin has been participating in the majority of the drills and has been training the house down. If his form permits, he is on track to play early next year.

Cale Morton

Cale has added around 5kgs to his frame since the end of last season. He is otherwise injury free and training well.

There will also be some more detailed profile/progress pieces on the website over the Christmas period on a selection of players.

Merry Xmas to you & yours

Cheers, thanks for sharing.

Morton putting on 5kgs is good news, hope it continues

Lets hope he gets a good serve of Xmas Turkey.

Was speaking to a good friend of Sam Blease today. Apparently Sam is recovering well and thinks he'll get his first game on Queens Bday next year.

I really hope he wasn't told that. If so, the publicity about Jack W getting his first game last year simply on PR grounds rings true. Surely the club has a team first policy and every week selectors play the best 18 with just a little bias towards youth when developing. I would be flabbergasted if someone was told 7 months in advance as to when they will play.

Dunno where Morton has put his weight on. Looks to me like he still needs some plum pudding and cream. Doubt he has added anywhere near 5 kgs. Still a fantastic prospect. Seriously needs more strength and size. It will come.

Regarding Morton putting on 5 kls shows how light his body is- possibly could put on another 10 kls then it would show.Very much a pity after this report to see or hear that WONA- came off injured AGAIN.

I wouldn't believe that... maybe Blease doesn't think he'll play from Round 1, but should be able to earn a game by the time QB rolls around...

There is no way the club would tell him that, especially at this early stage. Cool your jets.

Possibly still growing?

Well, I'd like to think so but I tend to share Crystal Dees's concern. Not jumping to conclusions at all it is simply curious (if in fact that it is true) that Blease has the idea in his head of perhaps debuting on QB.

i don't understand. are you saying wonaeamirri is injured again, or that it would be a pity if he WAS injured again?

Chinese whispers. Its probably just a rough timeframe in which he is aiming to get his first senior match.

Yes unfortunately please refer to thread below- Utter shame isn' it

Last training at Casey for 09

Still Waiting

Great afternoon at Casey with an almost full list on display for all to see. Big semi trailer set up on outer wing with kids attractions, BBQ , etc. Plenty of people out for a look see, including new-ish Casey Mayor Cr Lorrainne Wreford, I think is her name. She has converted to be a Dees member as promised.

Players look a treat and put on quite a show.

A bit of concern was LJ leaving the field for what appeared to be a wrist injury and Wonna with a left leg/knee/ankle/groin injury??

Gee this club has an abundance of young talent now and Watts, Scully, Trengove etc are the path to a superb future.

Just gotta keep em on the park! Go Demons.

Again, I hope that is the case.

Lets hope the MFC do not pull another " QB JW stunt" next year.. I assume the Trengove & Scully will have a few games under their belts before the QB game.

Lets hope for "10: 75,000", considering the membership numbers have been great so far.

I'm actually hoping Tapscott & Trengove actually play there first game together.Whenever that is. Scully,even though he has missed the first week or two of available training is so super fit he will pick up optimum fitness very quickly. I believe he will be ready for 1st round.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
