Training the House Down

Kozzie focusing on his snaps at goal. If he can steady and slot those chances rather than snatching at them he'll have taken a huge step in his development and effectiveness.

    So Jordon is training as in inside mid..  I saw some posters have him in their Round 1 team, where would he fit?  We couldn't even fit Harmes on the midfield last season

    I'm really interested in how Rosman is tracking. As I understood it, he was drafted as something of a  developmental project and was likely to spend the year at Casey.

    Training reports suggest he is well beyond this.

    Is he a likely senior selection sooner rather than later?

    "Training the house down" or has it just been washed away by flood waters? (For those not in Melbourne, it's absolutely soaking here today.)

    I genuinely hope we are training outdoors today. We have been really poor at wet weather footy and today would be a great day to work on wet weather game strategy and skills.

    When I was at training a fortnight ago the rain started at about 10 and I left as it was very heavy like today.  Not sure how long th rain lasted at Casey but from club reports they kept training which was a good sign.  Like you i hope they stick at it today.

    I've thought our midfield ball use and backline structural soundness have been as big an issue but for those who think the forward line has been the main culprit the last two years the positive is we've now got options.

    Tommy Mc is giving it his all. Jackson coming on. Ben Brown on the list. Spargo's had a good preseason from what I've read, Chandler doing well, Pickett going strongly and Laurie coming in. I'd love a bit more established all round talent but that competition for spots should be better than we've had in a long time.

    The wing is likely in a similar situation. Probably even more doubt over the established talent but at least if we've got Melksham, Baker, Nietschke, Rosman, Vanders all fighting for a spot the competition should push them all along.

    We might only go with 4 inside mids, but if we go with 5 and rotate them either a little forward or through the 3rd wing spot then I'd say the current order for spots is probably something like:

    Petracca, Oliver, Viney, Harmes, Jordon with Sparrow 6th and Brayshaw still rehabbing. 

    Harmes might not be a walk up start. And whilst I think Viney's actually got to the stage where a few people on here are very much underrating him if he doesn't play to the instructions Yze sets out he might have to go backwards to go forwards too.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
