there have been no open training sessions this year due to covid practices

the sessions reported here on demonland have been by members standing outside the wire fence

training seems to be mon, wed and friday starting around 9am and generally at casey fields

training times are not advertised by club

no training at all on goschs as it is being redeveloped (made bigger)

sorry for the bad news

 

8pm on Saturday 26 March at Metricon is probably the closest thing we'll get to an open training session for a while.

Thanks all. I appreciate the trouble. Shame but thats’s the time we are all living in. Never mind, go DEES 2022!!

I find it totally amazing that crowds are welcome at Casey Fields for the womens series, but gates are locked and I cannot get into Casey Fields to watch training, having to obtain a second hand view from outside the fence. I'm often the ONLY person there. Also you see contractors working inside the ground at these times as well. I'm triple vacced and wear a mask. Staggering really!

Nonetheless, we all appreciate the effort you make to keep us informed!

To be honest I think COVID has been a good excuse to keep prying eyes, whether friend or foe (or foe from reading friends online reports), away from the training track.

I'm not sure what the situation is with other clubs and training venues.

What kind of view are we talking from outside the fence picket? 
 

Any view is better than nothing, but it would be beneficial to sit at a better vantage piont say elevated seats ground level dressing room side

I can’t get over the fact that you of all people are stuck behind a fence.

Completely agree Picket, I went down last week and sat on top of my car so i could get a decent view. This Saturday I'll go to the same venue for the AFLW and be allowed in as normal. Surely they could have a ropped off area to let the handful of track watchers in to watch training.

  • 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.
