There's an open training session advertised on the club site to take place at Casey Fields today at 10.00am.

This is the first of the autumn training sessions and with some light morning drizzle and a maximum temperature of 27 predicted, we should expect close to a full squad (possible exception being Bernard Tomic).

If any of the locals is going, reports are welcome and let us know if you hear anything about a possible Casey Demons practice match at the weekend.

    No pressure!  But, us interstaters are impatiently awaiting all of those in-depth reports that we all know are about to hit Demonland at any moment...

    I refuse to go back to Casey until they install eftpos facilities and while I'm at it, hire a decent barista and serve edible tucker. It's a long way to the shop for a sausage roll in those parts.

    Simply not good enough, Dieter!  Keep up that attitude, and you will be out of the team alongside Wattsy!

    Kindly smarten up, stick a few dollars in your moth-infested wallet, pack a thermos, and get back out there!  The team needs you!!

    Really missing the training reports as it would be interesting to hear from the regulars on how Watts is going on the track. 

    IMO Watts is critical if we want to play finals this year.

    That's the end for him, you only get a few chances to show what u got,  unless the FD thinks you are worthy to persist with,  like Jagger.

    He has certainly had a looooooong career and they have persisted with him however his signals when kicking out from the goal square are somewhat confusing. Crowd seems to enjoy them though.

    needs a big preseason and to add 10kg of muscle before he can move into the midfield.

    way too light a frame for the modern game.

    Not much of a training report (especially if you're JKH)

    JKH to miss six to eight weeks


     

    That is sad news

    I like the kid I was really hoping he'd have a good year.

    Disappointed for the kid, has not had a good run at it and facing an uphill battle again .

    Not great but a fractured forearm is not the worst injury. He can still maintain fitness and even play with a cast as many others have done. 

    Timing is pretty awful for the guy. I wish him the best as he was looking a lot better in this year's pre-season than he has in past years.

    Does anyone know what is wrong with Sam Frost. I was impressed with his development last year and am surprised he wasn't playing in the preseason games.

    Can't help but wonder whether Goody picked his starting 22 (or the 24 or 27 from which the starting 22) for R1 a long time ago, and it's those that he wants to see in JLT.

    No Frost, no Jetta, no Garland, no Trengove. And, more than likely, no Watts.

    That's assuming injury isn't a factor, of course.

    If Watts doesn't play round one , there should be a Royal Commision IMV! Particularly if Neal Bullen gets a gig!

    because there hasn't been enough written about Watts to date.....

    I think you've mistaken having sympathy for the Demons with Sympathy for the Devil.

    Given he has played both JLT games to date, ANB will likely stay in the side now that JKH's out, AvB's apparent injury, and Kent's fitness being in question for Round 1.

    To be honest, I'm not unhappy that ANB will be given the opportunity.  I rate him, not sure why, but just think there's something there.

    And PF, there will still be room for Watts, presuming he gets a gig this weekend.

    There will be no Watts. He will be too busy giving testimony before the Royal Commission.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
