Hmm… I was planning on hitting Gosch’s next Monday thinking that Casey was a Friday training. 
Where do I find the most accurate source of information apart from calling the club?

    Prior to last Fridays training session the link above had training listed as Casey on Friday 13/1 and then also Casey on Monday 16/1. 

    At some point after Fridays session the information about Monday’s session at Casey was removed from the site and replaced with information above Wednesday’s (18/1) session at Gosch’s. 

    Keep checking that link for information about Monday 23/1 although that may be subject to change.

    During the tennis they often spend a bit more time out at Casey. 

    It seems they’re only going to designate certain sessions as open and chose to refer to Wednesday that way. You can try the socials as well as calling and the website, but you might need someone on here to confirm if they don’t call it an open session.

    The MFC offices have fully reopened today. It should be easier to find out where/when sessions will be held. 
    That said, it’s never a simple thing to do as they don’t update often enough.

    Once they find out who I am I’m sure the club will pull out all stops to provide me with every detail and a cheese platter for my visit.

    I'm sure they'll get Goody to swing by and pick you up. 😁

    Seriously though, if we can’t get a training report, could someone please apprise us of any snake sightings at Casey Fields.

    Went with a friend to watch training this morning.  They have 3 sets of temporary grandstands set up next to the rooms for spectators and get a good view of everything.

    Fritsch was the only absentee and J Smith was on the bike for the whole session.

    Everyone in their own numbers except JVR in 44,   Kye Turner is 47 and Burgoyne 33.

    Started off with goal kicking which has been described before.

    Then an agility routine where where they ducked around ski poles whilst marking short kicks, receiving and giving handballs.  Then a couple of other similar groups (of which there were 3 of 15 or 16 players).  In one a ball was tossed in with 5 in white tabbards trying to intercept or tackle whilst other team handballed it around.   At this stage one of the groups was all the tall players probably 194 or more and their skills below their knees were great.  The had to at least bounce handball through the group a couple of times.  When you saw 16 such tall players together you realised we are going to be a tall side, even if 6 are at Casey.  May's anticipation and tackling stood out.

    Then whole ground long kicks one way, punch to defend and switch with handballs from defence then run and handball or short kicks to the other end.  Very slick movement.  It was in this that I saw Grundy on a few occasions just take off and try and get ahead of the play into the forward line.  From that and previous reports,I think that is what he is going to do.

    They then did different versions of match practice which included free kicks, 50 metres etc.   In this it stood out just how far  the 1st and 2nd year players are behind the senior players  Hibberd, May, Lever and Petty work really well together.  Of the new players  Hunter stood out - just kept hitting targets and got a bit of the ball.   Grundy was very mobile but Max dominated.  Schache took one good mark but that's all I saw him do.  The 2 Turners were OK but a level below the others.   Burgoyne was in the match practice but didn't seem to do much.  Kozzie was quiet but looked good if that makes sense.

    Brown was very good, TMac and Bowie were OK  JVR was impressive.  Chandler and Spargo got involved. Trac, Oliver, Viney Langdon, Brayshaw, Harmes and Sparrow were a level above the rest.  ANB was quiet and at one stage came off with maybe a groin issue, but came back on.  Thommo did well - looks to have lost weight and moves a bit freer.  Salem, Melksham, Jordan, Dunstan and Laurie were quiet.  

    The young ones do well in the skills drills but just don't have the body or presence to impact in the match play.  Seston has a body that could compete but a long way behind.  Howes is probably the closest but will take him a while.

    Ring the club later in the week and ask them, that’s my suggestion.They are most helpful.

    No offence JCB31 but the question was apart from ringing the Club.

    One poster on here has mentioned that the majority of sessions will more likely be at Casey while the AO Tennis is on, which goes through to the 29th from memory. I can't remember if the tennis has a rest day. Will be interesting to see if this comes to fruition will be worth remembering for the future

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
