Decided work does not interest me this morning, any questions you would like me to try and get answers to, you have half an hour, (no stupidity please, it's tiresome)

Hey Saty, do you reckon you could ask Jimmy Toumpas what sort of things the club has him working on in the VFL/what sort of role he see's himself filling long term?

Is Kent ready to go?

How is Garland travelling after the knock to his knee?

Is Hogan back in town?

Have an idea Riley may debut - keep an eye out for that?

you must have a very flexible job Satyr. Half your luck.

Nah chap I am being made redundant in a couple of months, have way too much leave and 'being encouraged' to take it, my productivity seems to have become variable as well, not sure why? haha........so I take the morning off and do something important, will try and answer the questions put

I have already spoken to Tappy about this, he knows that if he can't get fit and stay fit and get into the AFL Team his chances of being retained are diminished (to put it politely)

This is a great service you provide, Satyr. We have to find a way to get you employed in a job that requires you to attend all Melbourne training sessions. Anyone know who mows the lawn at Gosch's paddock?

Can you ask them if last weeks loss still hurts badly, and are they going into this match desperate,angry and confident for a win?

OK, I am back.

Frawley a no show, others missing Spencer, King, Trengove, Hogan.

Terlich for all the non believers, sorry, fully recovered, did the full session.

It seems that the Pig Dog is about to be unleashed, the comedians thought it would be a good idea to give me six different answers when I asked what the applause was about today (happened today as well). Alex Georgiou more or less confirmed, all I got from Pig Dog himself was a smile and a "maybe" wave of the hand, if the banter going on during training was an indication, I would say "probably".

Christian Salem is concerned about being sub again, that would mean back to Casey to get match fitness, he is also concerned about Arsenal losing to Hull City in the FA Cup Final this weekend.

Jack Fitzpatrick most [censored] off he did his ankle on the weekend, was looking forward to playing as first ruck for whole game, as was feeling really good in 1st quarter, as FD now consider him Ruck/Forward rather than Forward/Ruck.

Garland is fine, completed whole session.

DeeZee, watch Nathan Jones' presser for your answer, Jack Grimes told me exactly that same thing.

Spoke to Nicho, Blease, Strauss and Toumpas as requested, main theme from all of them was consistency (and Nathan Jones presser), they have to produce to a high standard for four or five weeks to be considered if an opportunity opens up.

Toumpas just has to reproduce what he did last weekend each week.

Nicho has to tidy up his disposal (surprise).

Blease has now set a benchmark for himself with his 30 possies, enjoying playing at the back, lets him read the footy better, when to use his obvious attributes.

Strauss: asked him where he was at, has been moved up forward to "freshen him up", not in very good form at the moment, actually enjoying playing forward, again just wants a consistent run, has forgotten all that has happened in the past and moved on, did mention likes the new way of doing things where you have to earn the spot in AFL side quote "not one good game at Casey, into AFL, bad game, back out" wants to settle in forward, get some form and try and force his way in.

Forget McDonald or Garland, Nev Jetta is playing on Jack Riewoldt, it must be right, Jade Rawlings made a point of telling me.

Also got some info on Tim Smith from Brad Miller. I asked what the knock on him not getting drafted was, again that word consistency, when he is good, as Brad says from last week's 5 goals, he is really good, but then goes missing for 2 or 3 weeks.

Any questions feel free.

Couple of more scientific bits

The GPS is now used at every training session

At the end of each session each player has to rate the session, ie easy, average, hard, if the majority are different from the coaches view, it is investigated why

Each morning the players have to fill in a wellness questionaire, how did they sleep, are they feeling stressed, are they feeling fatigued, unwell or injured

Most of the emphasis at the moment is on DI's (defensive indicators) and pressure acts, surprise surprise

Just realised Shannon Byrnes wasn't there either

    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
