    Not this year.

    They will continue with closed training for a fair while so Gosch's paddock is not on the agenda

    So casey and port melbourne mix continues. Makes sense.

    Interesting to note that no players had footy boots on at all. Everyone in sneakers/runners. Is that normal ? Had the surface not settled? I have no idea, just asking the question.

    Interesting pick up, if you go to the end of the gallery there are a few photos of players wearing boots (ANB, Oliver, Pickett).

    Maybe they swapped after a session in runners, or maybe those 3 just forgot aha

    How good does that surface look!  Absolute carpet the lucky buggers!

    I was one who posted a few pages back being highly doubtful that they'd use the facility this season whilst the grass settles.  I cant believe how good its looking.

    Well done to the curator.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed Picket Fence's work covering training for us out at Casey. I'm now hopeful some of our other trackwatchers can return to the fray at Gosch's. The more the merrier.

    They have also added flood lights, hopefully for some night training.

    The nets at the goal ends have been renewed.

    Big compliment given to Demonstone here. As seen by daisycutter using an upper case letter. A very rare occurrence.

    Dr G a comment just because we cannot get in at Casey does not make it a poor training venue. We won a flag from there last season.

    It’s quite excellent now and money will continue to be spent there.

    Of course though I'm sure if you asked the players they would prefer to train across the road from the G instead of in the middle of nowhere at least once or twice a week.

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
