I'm currently on leave but I'm looking forward to reports from Sunday's game.

I think one of the problems facing AFL clubs with teams in the VFL is the fact that the starts to the seasons for the competitions are so far apart.

Casey is having its first hit out against another VFL team this weekend and yet Melbourne finished its pre season games  more than a week ago,

This has left quite a few players in a bit of a limbo without much game time, especially since Simon Goodwin basically stuck with almost the same squad throughout the three JTL games.

As you say a real issue. And then there are the byes (only two this year I think)

Add in our interstate games (two of which are our own fault) where players are taken as emergencies plus any where the VFL game is played before or close in time to the AFL game thus again taking emergencies out of play and one can see how hard it is for players on the fringe to get real game time

Played all 3 JLT: Hogan, Jones, Salem, Petracca, Lewis, Viney, Brayshaw, Gawn, Oliver, Stretch, Melksham, Vince, T Mc, Weeds, O Mc, Hunt, ANB, Bugg, Spencer, Harmes

Inj: JKH, Wagner, Hibberd, Frost, Vanders, King

Apparently 17 to play

FB: Jetta   Garland
HB: J Smith Hulett  McKenna
C: ##### Tyson
HF: Kent Pedersen  Watts
FF: Garlett Keilty Hannan
Foll: Flipper?  Trengove  Kennedy
Int: Johnstone  ?Maynard (?T Smith  ?White I think have had niggles recently)

I reckon there's at least 4 and maybe up to about 6 spots available for guys playing at Casey. Tyson, Watts, Garlett could just lock up 3 of them with solid performances but 3rd tall defender (Garland or J Smith or even Jetta with a smaller line up), half forward (Kent) and tall forward/ruck (Pedda) could also make a mark. Plenty to play for.

20 played all 3 JLT.  I see 4 in and 2 out.

Agree Tyson, Garlett and Watts have the opportunity to cement their spots.

Either J.Smth or Garland also in.

One of Spencer or Weed plays and one out, the MC already has the info for that decision.

Probably ANB out too, or maybe Harmes.

I would expect whoever is lined up to play the Saints next week will only play half game time on average so it will be interesting to watch the rotations and watch who sits out in the 2nd half.

Should be an indication of selection.

I doubt anyone will play a full game on a 6 day break running into the first game of the season.

Yep, makes total sense. I'm expecting a fair few Casey listed players to rotate through for that exact reason. I'll be sure to try to track how much game time the big name players have (Watts, Tyson etc.)

Watts output will be interesting. His presence at Subiaco was not as convincing as hoped. I am unsure of what  has got into him. I would have thought 2017 would have been his opportunity to put forward a message to the league i.e  that he is worth his billing as an elite talent. What other motivations does he need?? Hogan has resigned and we have a committed core pf die hards. Nothing like we have seen over the past 20 yrs.

 

Jack Watts: Despite our clubs unwavering support of his presumed (and flashes) of brilliance,  the only consistent in Watts' portfolio is his consistent failure to uphold his promise. Even McCartney (who has an enviable track record for grooming elite talent -  think Ocean Grove/Geelong FC/Dogs) seems to have failed. His influence on other players rebukes this anomaly with regard to the emergence of Brayshaw, Oliver, Hunt. Trak, Weed. Smith, Hogan and O Mac. (honorable mentions to JKH, ANB, Hulett and Maynard).I am sure there will be more to add to this imnpressive list of emerging talent.

 

I for one hope he does a 180. That said, there is not much room for sentimentality in war. He has shown he doesnt have what it takes to be a leasder of this club. Others have overtaken him in the pecking order. His mates Wil (old McDonald)  stick up for him. Counts for little thou with a new coach; a credible one at that  given he can be tough enough to  see through all the crap,  including ego.

Just arrived at the ground.

It's a beautifully sunny day here in Cranbourne and is slowly heating up, I don't envy the boys playing today as the sun has a fair bit of bite to it.

Unfortunately the jumper numbers are a bit of a mess at the moment and without any sort of VFL record or team list I will struggle identifying players but I'll try my best.

Have they installed an eftpos machine yet? If they have I'll leave my current address - the Tatry Ski Club at Mount Buller - and slip down the mountain. But only if they have eftpos facilities.

Kent in everything early. Goal to Garlett. Watts doing some ruck work and looking sharp. Spencer won't play next week. Pedo involved. Replaces Weideman for me.

KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
