Headed in this morning as 200m from home.

Not much to report early. Gus & H are out there and are looking good. Dunny has a heavily strapped knee. And during their first jog around the ground,

Jesse was at the back of the pack and not smiling.

Should I be worried???

Hard to tell. One of Demonland's rules is that if a player is smiling, he doesn't care enough or feel the pain of Melbourne supporters and should be traded. On the other hand, if he's not smiling that

Hard to tell. One of Demonland's rules is that if a player is smiling, he doesn't care enough or feel the pain of Melbourne supporters and should be traded. On the other hand, if he's not smiling that means he's unhappy and likely to leave at the end of the year.

I suggest you watch them train from behind.

Should have worn my glasses today, hard to make out who everyone is as some players wearing different numbers.

H & Grimes training strongly during match simulation drills. Gus still mainly training alone, currently doing goal kicking practice. And i haven't spotted Watts, but that could be my eye sight.

I would hope he takes training seriously... very seriously... If he was just drafted & didn't smile at the camera in his first ever club photograph in the Red & Blue jumper: then YES, I would be worried, very worried...

Chris Dawes doing a little ruck work with Greg Stafford. A sign we may only have 1 ruck this week?

Good.

It also shows that the club will go with Gawn as the number 1 ruck this week... i hope

Would have to surely, he wasn't spectacular against WC but was sensational against Geelong. That number on his back is a clear sign where the club see him, hopefully he repays the faith.

Really glad to here Gus is up and about, this match on Saturday is made for him and Viney.

Spotted Vanders right towards the end, so he must have been one of the players in a high vis vest, which is why i couldn't make him out without my glasses.

No sign of Watts, but was a good session with Gus,H, Grimes & Vanders all getting through. A lot of work on quick ball movement/transition from the defensive 50.

Went to the Casey Demons breakfast there this morning where both Roos & Plapp spoke. Plapp mentioned they could have up to 16 Melbourne listed players playing this weekend. Makes sense given the above named all getting through this morning.

Jeez are people [censored] for real!? Watts has arguably had his best 4 games of his career and people want him dropped because of a little bit of rain? FMD wake up people seriously the guy is one of our most classiest and best ball user along with Vince and theres no better hands to have the ball in when its wet then these guys.

Also last i looked footy is played outdoors.

Some posters do make me laugh! I have been Watts biggest critic but he has been awsome the last couple of weeks.

Want him dropped? You're putting words in my mouth mate. I said I don't mind if he's injured, given the conditions.

Given the conditions, I don't mind if Watts is out.

Where have you mentioned injuries.

Get a grip about Hogan..all smiles here... https://www.facebook.com/MELBOURNEfc/photos/a.10151939167012317.1073741839.285839797316/10153520912502317/?type=1&theater

Have we lost our man on the ground at Casey? Any updates on Vanders/Watts/Gus

Yes sorry. My two year old was getting to frightened of checker the mascot, so had to head home.

As mentioned H and Grimes did the whole session and after spending tbe first half of the session doing his own work, Gus joined the main group for the 2nd half and got through without issue.

Vanders i only spotted at the beginning and end of the session, but i forgot my glasses today, so i'd say he got through without issue.

Never saw Watts at any stage and there was a bit of banter between Viney & Harmes, so very strong chance we'll see him saturday.

    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.

    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
