The Casey deck looks ?

 

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

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.

Very quiet in here.  What happened to that Saty fella?

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.

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.

He might have a flat tyre.

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.

No Sam Newman or hand bags either...

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

It's a long way from town on a Razor scooter......

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

Yes, it's a long walk back to town ?
