Earlier this evening the following incident alert was posted:-

A large number fires popping up between Berwick and Cranbourne. Please stay informed if near by

I'm glad I picked Wednesday as the day for my visit to Casey Fields and not tomorrow.

The club website is still announcing that training is on at 9.30am. Tomorrow's top temperature is predicted to be 44 again and, knowing the ground, there will probably be a hot northerly causing some havoc with the training drills. A perfect test for the lads, no doubt if they go ahead with training (I'd start it an hour or even more earlier but what do I know?) ... anyway, I won't be there.

Hopefully, someone hardy local Demonlanders will manage to get there and have the strength to report on proceedings.

POST SCRIPT: The venue has been changed on the club website to Gosch's Paddock. Good luck if you intended on going to training.

Title changed to accommodate earlier starting time and then changed again to accommodate change of venue. In short we have no idea of where and when

 

Off to the tennis tomorrow. Will report back if I spot Toumpas there smiling and enjoying himself after just 2 wins last year

Training starts at 8.45am today due to the heat.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Terry Ryan said the mercury was expected to rise steadily in Melbourne throughout the day to reach 30C by about 9am, 40C by 1pm and 44C by 4pm or 5pm - Herald Sun

 

CFA is on standby in case "the boys are on fire"!

I'm pouring cold water on that rumour.

These types of conditions probably rules out going to Darwin to train.

 

There was a tweet from "Melbourne Footy" (don't whether that is official or not) that says training is at "Gosch's Paddock"

The club website also says Gosch's Paddock.

You'd want to check before driving out there today....

Would have liked to have been down there with water guns filled with ice cold water for the boys today..

unless it is to escape the heat

Is that the new "vault"?

yep...updated and mobile !!


Finally real sponsors.

Amen. Now if I new what an AHG was I'd go out and buy one.

So training was definitely at Casey. I do wonder if any brave souls made it there. And if they could see anything through the blinding heat besides a lot of players sweating.

Im half guessing but I suspect that pic of the semi was taken on wed

Put on twitter today along with another couple from Ayrton Wolley from channel 9 who will have the story about it on 9 news tonight so I presume it will be today

It was there this morning.

Casey.

Great job by AHG to get a refrigerated truck to training to help the boys out!

This photo looks like Casey to me?

That is awesome, good for the club and good for the sponsor to get some profile. A real win for all here.

Quite possible...I was just reading the time stamp of the twitter pic

Really, that is amateur hour stuff.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    Captain Max Gawn still has a massive lead in the Demonland Player of the Year Award from Christian Petracca, Kozzy Pickett, Jake Bowey & Clayton Oliver. Your votes please; 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
