I am sure the move to Casey is the right move because training will be better than Goschs. However it sure is not good for getting training reports.

    He lives I believe in Richmond so I don’t think he goes to Casey. In fact it would appear no one does. We need a  scribe from Casey to give us reports.

    I might plan on going down to Casey next Friday if I can. I will do a report if I get there. Are you allowed in? What time does training start?

    Considering Casey’s our area we don’t seem to have many supporters from there.

    Might be time for Demonland to advertise for a foreign correspondent to be embedded in deepest Cranbourne for the next year. We can send in survival packages of Seven Seeds coffee, craft beers and a cheese platter each month along with a copy of The Red Fox for guidance should their stoicism start to crumble at any point.

    IIRC, Wayne's done a ripping job in the past but I'm not sure if they're letting anyone in ATM

    These are all questions we’d love answered. I’d go down to a training session or two but I’m not driving all the way out there to be shut out.

    There are definitely supporters and track watchers down Casey way (including myself), but they have the facilities closed, so you can't actually enter. 

    *I should add, this is because the players/coaches/etc.. don't enter where patrons do, so they have no reason to open the gate to let watchers in, so they simply don't*

    Casey is a huge negative for the players. The lack of an inner city training venue makes travelling to Casey not only a frustrating bore but not conducive to injury management, general soreness and fatigue after hard training sessions. 

    Also thought to be one of the main reasons why we lost Isaac Smith to Geelong. 

    Makes securing a more convenient location an urgent need.

    T Mac definitely lost weight.  Looks quite thin, which is good as he may get back some mobility.

    He's an extremely driven and proud bloke, Melbourne floating him in a trade and no takers would be totally driving him

    Gawny now lives in Blarigowrie, meaning he is closer to Casey, than what he is Melbourne. 

    I understand what you're saying, but that won't dictate where the players decide to live and the proximity they are to the club's home base. 

    Preuss also lived near Nar Nar Goon.

    We talk about the lifestyle Geelong offers to potential players, 1 hour from city a number of Surf beaches 30 min away, the coastal life.

    Casey although not the same would open up to players living on the Mornington peninsula, Philip Island and one of my favourite places Inverloch. You have 2 u18 sides out that way with good programs.

    Hawthorn are moving to Dingley to me that is worse than Casey

    The facilities are far better there than Goschs with the new rooms and ground surface state of the art.

    Have you seen them yet?

    Please don't put a largely personal opinion As if it has affected the playing group.

    Yes if you asked most they would prefer the City location but you could not compare the facilities in any way to Goschs with all the Govt money spent in the upgrade at Casey.

    How is that? Casey is another 20 minutes further away from town than Dingley.

    Once when I was visiting from Sydney I ran into DeeSpencer at Casey... not sure if that means he's a local.  Also, there are a couple who often report on Casey games, so another possibility?

    I’ve been following his training on Instagram. If he’s not very very fit with 2 good feet then I’m a Trump voter

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
