Feeling absolutley spoilt with the quality of postings in this training thread. Thanks to everyone who's gone to the effort of conveying the session in such detail, including the photos - it really does give one a clear picture of the teams progress.

Bring on Round 1!

my stand-out today was Matt Jones. Like Taggert, he's tall, quick, balanced and a beautiful kick. At 25 he's ready to go. Where Magner dropped marks and butchered a number of kicks Jones' skills shone. I understand that supporters will be skeptical about a guy that was playing at Box Hill and overlooked by Hawthorn and everyone else over the years, but I can only comment on what I see and he looks a real find.

Gee, a Hawthorn reject: maybe we have another Brett Lovett in the team!

Is it just a trick of the lens, or has Watts really bulked up over the off season? In the pic on the previous page of this thread, he certainly looks like he won't be pushed off the ball so easily this season.

Lucky to catch the match simulation, it was full on no holding back. The Howe Garland contests were great to watch. Most has been covered, just like to add, Viney is a hunter, he just wants to win the footy, he think he has no chance or beaten then bang he gets the footy or lays a monster tackle. He will be a gun and with Mr silk Toumpas running with him makes me a little excited

Just wanted to add that it was great to see Swooper Northey chatting to Todd Viney and Darren Flanigan when I got there. Northey had the same red and blue striped tie as Todd, so I wonder if there was some sort of breakfast that he'd attended.

Arthur Wilkinsons funeral was held today at 11 so I'd assume they were attending that.

He has looked really switched on and hasn't skipped a beat. Col had a great duel with Howie in the match simulation stuff today. They were pretty competitive, those two lads, and really wanted to get the better of each other. Col will be important for us this year.

Terrific report guys. Really appreciate when stuck at work. How was Judy Garland travelling on the track?

what time does training usually finish and where do people park to go along?

Training normally finishes between 11 and 11.30. You can park at Anderson Street Hill or MCG.

I don't know WJ, given the choice between being surrounded by fire or the Casey locals I'd have to give it some thought.

Bit of a generalization huh .... Careful with that ... I'm 10 minutes from Casey. Would you like to take an intellectual challenge with me..... Who know I most likely contribute more to the club a year than yourself.

Casey facility is class....

Excuse my ignorance but who's the young bloke in white with 4th footy from the right?

I watched training on Monday and he did a couple nice things putting blokes into space during the match sim I thought.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
