Is Austin Bradke a chance, 204 cm? Training with a group of 8 forwards this morning. Declan Keilty was with the backs.

Long way off from what I have seen at Casey Kev. work in progress.

    Good on Kev for getting there and giving a good report. Hats off. But has it really come to this. Some being happy that we trained well against each other a few days before our last match, having lost our last five or so games dismally. 

    Why do you think there is such dismay, we have trained well all year, apart from maybe one or  two sessions I watched

    It's game day we have had the issue with

    Yes it is. Why are you asking me why there is such dismay?

    So it would be just so Melbournian to debut him as the sole savior ruckman then ?

    Not it all, appreciation of someone posting training reports is what it is about.

    Why not. Let’s have him, Preuss and Gawn in the same side and we’ll go from the smallest ever side to the tallest in one week.

    You are right height wise but Bradke is miles off AFL standard! A call up could destroy the kid at this stage.

    That to me just shows they can’t handle opposition pressure. 

    Messier to hit targets when you know nothing is on the line or no one is going to smash into you.

    Kev martin it is good to read a positive post rather than all the garbage in other threads.Thanks

    Isn’t it such a sad reminder of what a devastating year it has been that a positive training report gives such pleasure to some Melbourne supporters.  Hardly surprising after the garbage that’s been served up all year on match day. Thank goodness they are still boisterous and our Captains are leading the way at training.

    Don't know what your on about, I just want to know what is happening at training this week or any other week of the year when training is on, if I still lived in Kensington I would go myself.

    Yes it will be just like excitable 13 year old schoolgirls on parade around this site.

    Thanks for your reports during the season Kev. They have been informative and well received (by me, anyway).

    Keep it up mate!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
