So, who’s going today? I’m taking my brother’s children as he can’t make it. Hope to see you all there!

(feel free to move this if it’s alreay been created as I couldn’t find it)

 

Yeah I'm going


Well I can't get there so if someone can just give us an update on the injuries that occurred yesterday and also can someone ask may what the hell he was thinking with that so called bump yesterday? 

Just anything else about the day also. Thanks.

No Harmes, AVB, JKH or Joel Smith in attendance

Big bandage on Viney’s thigh 

Is it weird that I’m happy Viney has a thigh issue? As long as the foot is ok!

Wonder what’s wrong with AVB. The other 3 absentees are self explanatory. 


Massive lines out there today for some players.

Preuss had some sort of bandage underneath his shorts. One of the organisers had instructions for him to keep seated during photos and signatures but he was having none of it. The plastic chair given to him was tiny, no way he was getting his rump on that.

Having spent the last couple of weeks in Hanoi I can relate to that !!

Hope all the youngsters have a wonderful day

We had a great couple of hours, players friendly and happy for photo ops, etc.grandkids lapped it up. Said. Hello to all the new players caught up with a couple of family friends who are also die hards so good to see so many kids on the Dee’s colours. Couldn’t get near Max & Jack Viney lines to long.  Go Dee’s...!!!!!!!


It really is a great set up.  The lines are long but it’s a great atmosphere and really well run. 

Great to see so many Dees out and about. 

Just came from the Sponsor’s Function.
- We will go in with one ruckman against Port.
- The players are not massive fans of the 6-6-6. 
- Joel Smith and AvB were not there as they were getting scans. No JKH or Harmes either.
- One player said that the current group of young players that came into the club were the most exciting group in a long time. In particular, he said Austin Bradkte could be anything.
- Jake Lever back in full training. He said he’s honestly got no idea when he’ll be back, so people should stop asking him!
- There will be match simulation next Saturday. Players, in particular the defenders, were not happy with the lack of pressure on the Lion’s midfield yesterday. Delivery inside 50 will continue to be a focus.
- Losing two players early really hurt us yesterday. Especially against a team with extra players. One player felt like he just went into survival mode after half time. We played 23. Keilty was supposed to come on later than he did.

thanks @Tough Kent, that's really interesting

as someone else on here posited, 666 - which should favour us as a side with a dominant ruck and big bodied mids kicking to leading forwards - is definitely going to take some adjustment given we're relatively used to playing two off the back of the square

That was the couple of players I spoke to said. Found it hard starting inside forward 50, charging at the centre bounce, only for the ball to go sailing over their head anyway. The players enjoyed starting at the back of the square as a means of getting themselves into the game. Will take some adjustment.

Thanks for sharing. 

Any idea what AVB is getting scanned? Poor guy has had a terrible run of injuries. Hope it’s all ok and not his ankle playing up again. 

My understanding is that Goody gave up on that plan for the extra two behind the ball about half way into last year.

Cant believe players can be so inflexible !(or selfish) If they aren't mentally right about this then let them learn at Casey.

BTW what did they do before Goody invented this move? Start on the forward line obviously.

Please if this is one of our real worries we have got problems. Send them on a Camp to get their heads in the right place!!!

Players don't dictate rules or positions in the game and definitely not in this Demons era of success.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
