Have we decided we're far too good for the comp and no longer need to train? I haven't seen a report since Saturday.

I need another hit.

I've split this post into it's own thread.

The official site only has this Saturday's Open Casey training listed.

The last Open session was last Saturday's Maroochydore session. Presumably there has been a session since then.

What's the deal?

    I think they get a few days off after the trip north. How many? I don't know!

    I’m concerned Petracca is going to come back out of shape from this mini break.

    Exactly. I've heard he's trying to break the record for the most Maltesers and Maxibons in a single preseason.

    As it stands, I guess we wait until Saturday for the next report. Just have to deal with the shakes and fidgeting until then.

    Apparently he downed 37 beers on the flight home, and stopped over in Munich for Octoberfest

    They had a very early morning training session before they left QLD, Wednesday off and country visits today, then training on Saturday, probably do indoor work tomorrow and then maybe another outdoor on Monday

    I'm going in the draft - the amount of time off these guys get in unbelievable.

    Chook, the only draft you'll be involved in will be the one you yourself will create after having a curry.

    Take the week off.

    I just might surprise you.

    Fair bit of water to go under the bridge between now and the next "public session" thinking-face_1f914.png

    Perhaps the other sessions are closed sessions. Getting close to the start of the season perhaps they want to keep some things from prying eyes on the open to the public training oval.

    I think Chook was meaning Draught, as in the Carlton variety...

    Any training dates for the week of 11th Feb to 15th Feb as I will be down in Melbourne for the week? I'd love to catch a session and give any report I can.

    You could bet on it - that would be a smart decision given our 'acquired' new depth and playing options.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
