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. ;)

LJ left the track, had his wrist strapped and returned, but came off again. Didn't see him come back?

Wonna limped off with 2 trainers and went into the rooms, not to return at all! Looked pretty glum too.

did Wonna walk under a latter, then push the ladder to break a mirror, trip and step on a crack then have a black cat cross his path, WFT???

With a four week break, both should have enough time to get back into it.

Wonder what the injuries are.

Anyone got some pics?

That's what we said last year. Let's hope it's nothing too serious.

Wonna actually walked off under his own steam but the look on his face said "FRUSTRATION". Seemed to favour his left leg and was flanked by 2 trainers. He looks a ball of muscle and hopefully it's just a minor hiccup.

LJ actually went back out after initially going into the rooms for treatment and to have his wrist strapped. Came back off again and was obviously in a fair bit of discomfort with his wrist (Left). Didn't see him after that.

Cam Bruce spent a bit of time playing slips cricket with a group that included Watts and Gawn. Jonesy again a tearaway on the track although he was rugged up a bit in tights and long sleeves?? Meeson putting in a fair bit too but looks small when compared to Gawn and Spencer who has some size in his upper body now. The new boys all did well but occasionally had the fumbles = understandable!

Gotta say that Chris Connolly aint shy of a microphone and really had the local traders, kids, and assorted onlookers all under his spell.This is gold for the club as he is multi faceted and has the respect of all onfielders too.

The extensions are well on the way with roof on and internal frames all up. Looks impressive too.

Stacks of young kids with red and blue gear on so I reckon Casey is going to be a real plus.

The surface of this ground is superb and the players seem to relish the chance to show their talents.

Kicking is still improving but some of the handball drills were breathtaking.

The squad has plenty of talls with Johnson, Russian, Spencer, Martin, Gawn, Meeson, Fitzpatrick etc all over 197cm.

The midfield is nicely set up along with our newbies who seem better equipped to deliver the ball to Watts, Miller, Bate, Jurrah and co in 2010.

Wish to say here that most of the recruits are pretty good with their footskills and even Spencer seems a bit more consistent here. Bring on 2010.

Not sure what is going on with Watts.

Nice thread highjack guys.

Posted

What in God's name is going on? I hadn't even posted in this thread before this clown came along.

I sponsor Jack Watts, why would I not want him to be a star?

It was hard to keep an eye on everything that was happening...from taking in all the development that's taken place around the ground, to all the youngsters that turned up in red & blue, to the new recruit that really caught my eye.... Luke Tapscott. He can run and he looks like he's ready to play now.

Posted

Report in today's Sunday Sun says Austin Wonaeamirri suffered a hamstring injury at Casey Fields and faces a month long lay off. He's having scans tomorrow to determine the extent of the injury.

No word on Liam Jurrah.

Hearing that Aussie has done a hammy is actually a relief to me. If you remember this year he did a hammy preseason and then returned to tear his meniscus. It was this that kept flaring up every time he resumed training. The good news recently was that he was training well with no problems with his knee so a hammy is not so bad as long as he doesn't become a chronic hammy guy.

I reckon Luke could be one of our finds. I like how our list is developing, in previous developments, their was always a lack of planning especially ND's reign - it seems that there is a plan in place now, I have a good feeling sucess will not be far off and it will be sustained.

After my last post sent someone loopy, I still would like an update on Watts? Was he training fulltime with the main group on Friday. Just had contradicting reports some saying he was, others saying he is on a modified training program.

Terrible news on the hamstring. Not his first and you would expect they werer being over-cautious making sure it was ready to go again..

Watts definitely did not do all training with the main group!

Watts did not train with the main group at all.... which I found disappointing. He was with the group returning from injury - so was Scully - mainly doing handball drills. They also did reflex work with a tennis ball. Matched against Gawn he certainly didn't look like a big man - but he was energetic and enthusiastic throughout - and he pulled in some blinders when Kelly O'Donnell smashed a tennis ball anywhere near him!

The first time I went to Casey I got lost - this time I was pleasantly surprised how quickly I got there on the freeway. The surface of the ground is superb - and I can imagine an attractive fully functional facility when the grandstand extension/ gym area is complete.

For all that, I was a little disappointed at the crowd. The function had been given good coverage on the web-site and it was a perfect opportunity to see our new recruits. Clearly very few people from the central suburbs made the trip.It was very much a local promotion - and the fact that the mayor was there was most encouraging. However I would be surprised if there were 500 people all up. The Casey Demons have a long way to go - but it is of course very early days - and the atmosphere was bright and positive.

There was a lot of verve in the training. Aussie looked terrific before he got hurt and Sylvia was brilliant. Like everyone else I was impressed by Tapscott. For an 18 year old he is built like a brick sxxx house and he can really kick.

As to nicknames , very boring .. I heard Taps and Trenners and Fitzy and Gys.

Exciting times ahead

Don't you think that is the object of the exercise?

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
