I went down to training and made a few notes: In order: Gawn started with a kick to kick drill with one of the coaches only the ball would drop short and he would have to predict the bounce etc. Da

Club twitter says open training is on from 9.45 am at Gosch's Paddock tomorrow.

If anyone's going down, could you please keep an eye on Mitch, Jack T, Chris Dawes and Max.

I will try and get down there since I have the day off Uni. I will also try and take photos of those 4. No promises though.

I'm here and watching the session, can't stay too long, but gee it's good to see Mitch and Trenners out with the main group.

Blease running laps looks ok too.

They are now doing a drill where they have to get the ball out of a congested area, with one group tackling and the other trying to get the ball out.

Viney looks pretty good at this as does Rodan. Barry also looks quick around the packs.

Dawes and Blease working together doing sprints.

Sounds like Dawes hammy injury is no longer an issue?

He looks fine to me, looks like they are putting he and Blease through an agility test.

Kent doing sprints with Bail, but there is something special about Kent. He looks hardened and ready made.

Trengove looking a little slimmer and dare I say it quicker .... in the middle of the drill I'm watching now and demanding the ball.

How's Mitch Clark going?

Clark looks good. He hasn't lost his skills and he still oozes leadership out on the ground.

I reckon he will play round one.

Pretty standard rehab procedure I would presume. Lifting intensity from jogging, 1/4 pace, 1/2 pace, 3/4 pace, 90% through to repeat full pace sprints until they are 100% fit.

Could JT and Mitch both be fit enough for Round 1?

Mitch will have no fitness base and JT won't have enough to play as a mid for the whole game. I hope they play but I hope they are fit and firing first.

Isn't the word out that Mitch Clark will be playing for Casey in a practice match against Port Melbourne next week? If true, I suppose that will give some sort of indication as to his level of match fitness, from which the club can make their next call.

    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

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
