Finally real sponsors.

Also might help that we have "real" management dealing with them.

wonder if they wouldnt mind dropping it off at my place after ....got to be cooler than my office currently

 

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

Are you sure?

Under the photo is says 16 Jan.

When I saw that I assumed that meant it was from Wednesday.

wonder if cuddles was seen there?

Play it safe, tell the driver to keep an eye out for Caro in his/her mirrors!


I was there for about 40 minutes this morning at Casey - overheard a couple of people saying the truck was there to put together some advertising material for AHG,

They were doing some filming at Casey then heading back to AAMI park to do some more, truck looks great.

I will leave the reports to someone else who spent more time than me there but just couple of quick observations;

Hogan - Pounding out the KMs on an exercise bike in the window of the change rooms, looking to be really pushing hard just love his endeavour, dont think he will be sitting out for long

Clark - Usual session off running on another oval

Tyson - Just looks so comfortable and a genuine smart footballer

Viney - Didnt see Viney s- tarting to worry me a bit as last session I went to he wasnt out there either. I think someone mentioned on here before a hip problem at the moment.

All the boys were sweating up big time but no one in my short stay looked to be lacking the drive to push through it; cant wait for 2014 to begin just to see what progress we have made from last year!

This is the third session I have been to and one thing I have really noticed is that not only is every drill being done with energy but always in numbers, someone always running past for a handball or support, one thing that certainly lacked last year.

There was some considerable chatter out there to keep the intensity up, at one point during an in close handballing drill Brett Allison would stop them to start fresh, he would throw the ball to someone not expecting it to get it started, at one point threw it to Jetta who wasnt paying attention, straight onto him about everyone needs to be focused don't let the intensity slip.

Last thing, new training tops are awesome I actually like the white one for an alternative strip during the year.

Training Report

I arrived at Casey Fields at the advertised starting time of 9.30am or was it later than that*?

In attendance were no players but there were 12 CFA officers there and I assisted them in putting out two bushfires that were threatening to burn the house that the players have been training down.

It was all over in 45 minutes and we all adjourned to the pub for a few drinks with Campbell Brown.

* can't remember because I'm suffering from a mixture of smoke inhalation and intoxication.

True Old dee I did mean in comparsion to the white one we wear now, I would prefer we didnt have one at all but if we have to then the new training one looks good.

Ten News will also have a feature tonight on our training at Casey. Getting some great exposure for the club and our sponsors this year. Will be even better once we announce our captain.

"burn the house that the players have been training down" - lol

"drinks with Campbell Brown." - Did he hit you?

Will be even betterer when we win some bloody games.

I know it is a disgrace we haven't won one yet in 2014....

 

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

Why not - it is probably a lot cooler :-((

  • 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.

    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?
