A magnificent day weather wise for training...

A few snakes basking on the warm tracks perhaps

On a separate note one wonders how long it will be until some bright spark at the AFL (we can make money out of anything) comes up with a plan for charging fees to attend training. Going to "spring training" in baseball is big business.

 

I like the idea but I think you need to make it free to start with and make it an attraction and then bait and switch and start charging. Not sure how you do it at an open venue like Gosch’s. 

 

Is it me, or has Woewodin bulked up significantly going off the instagram photos???

If anyone at Casey today? Starting to see SSP signings happen now so would be interested if there's any clues to that with us.

Williams said they have fixed cameras and the drone at Casey.  Do they have the same at Gosh's

Yes, cameras are attached to the new poles that hold up a net at each end of the paddock, and on a couple of light towers.

The drone has not been used much this preseason but it is brought out occasionally.

There were 4/5 assistant hovering around the computer screens under the awnings on Wednesday. The same ones that collect the gps tracking mechanisms attached to the players.

Yes. Didn't see a drone on Wed, probably not up because of rain. But have seen vision from it in the past

I noticed that as well, Dazzle. Given he's not overly quick, I wonder if this is wise. I'm no sports physio, though.

ANB also looking super fit with zero fat on him, like a greyhound

No, don't encourage this.

Why put me outside the fence. Already the price of finals tickets are leaving holes in my budget. A training ticket, why?

Elitist and their envy of each other. Why do you want this kind of world and the associated gaps amongst us? I am for equalising us, not dividing. I guess you like operating behind closed doors, so you feel closer to the inner circle, oh "you are the special one's".  

Help the growth of the middle class, don't use them to fund a lifestyle of those holding the assets.

Footy clubs are about community and not a company. 

If we need funding then get it from the asset hoaders, tax evaders, the traders and financier's, companies both public and private.

Stop living on the back of the workers.

Make footy and all forms of entertainment more accessible,  not less.

If not accessible, then the public funding of our sports and arts program becomes welfare for those who have plenty already.

It would be nice if the club could confirm next week’s training times and venues. 

With schools returning in the following week, the next week could be the final opportunity to get the kids to a preseason session and if they are taking place at Casey which involves special arrangements for most of us because of the distances involved, plenty of advance notice would be helpful.

I emailed the club today and they stated in their response that Wednesday was the only ‘open’ session next week. 
From this vague communication, I will assume that both Monday and Friday will be at Casey and are classified as ‘closed’ sessions. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I can confirm Monday & Friday are both at Casey.

A few of us were lucky to get in today, as the gates were shut.  After being shut out for about half an hour they were kind enough to let us in.  

No guarantees.

Thanks for that. 
 

Being over from Perth, if a drive out Casey results in no access I’ll be [censored] [censored] off!

Righto, I’ve committed to making the journey to Casey tomorrow. 
🤞🤞 they let me in.

Planning on going to Gosh's tomorrow morning, anyone know the best place to park with the tennis on? 

You should be able to get a park easily on Alexandra Ave near Punt Rd if you arrive by 9am. Then walk over Morell pedestrian Bridge to Goschs. That's where I parked on Wed of last week

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
