Seemingly 'towelled up' at 'theirs' in the praccy game this weekend? Interested in any reporting from watchers. Hopefully a different result next week at 'Fortress Fields'! Ins and outs, watchers?

I saw most of game when not distracted by kids. Lacklustre performance by Casey. The Footscray smalls did the damage.

Casey players available next week include Munro , badly missed, and Grey. Not Corey Ellison who has moved to Williamstown and kicked 4 on weekend. I believe Mitch White will not be back yet.

Despite the result, I'm predicting a win on Saturday.

I believe KC said we had 16 demons out there and no Woey who was getting a broken finger repaired. So the line up would be something like this.

FF: Sestan Scache Jeffo
HF: AMW  JVR
C; Howes JJ
HB: D. Smith D. Turner Hibberd
FB: J. Smith Adams? K. Turner
Foll: KFW  Dunstan?
Int: Verrell

That's a lot of young talls and an incredibly light on midfield if there's none of the better Casey mids in Munro, White or Grey.

Whilst I hope they can win games which needs a bit more Casey and Melbourne experience in the middle I do like the idea of our young talls and mids actually getting a chance to be important structural players. Now he's had a taste of AFL footy I'd love to see Laurie in the midfield at Casey and getting 25 touches a week.

I noticed Jed Adams played on the weekend?

Any idea how he went?

I didn't really notice Jed Adams, but I wouldn't make too much of that.

One player I did notice is young Charlie Peters. Came on in the last quarter, great smother which resulted in a goal and instrumental in another. Tried his heart out. Well done young man on a disappointing day.

Just had look at our fixture.

We play our first three games, and four of our first 5 games at Casey, which is a nice little leg up.

I wonder if the sub on Friday night will play 2 games (assuming they only play limited AFL minutes).

That would also involve a flight out of Brisbane late tonight or early tomorrow morning.

Do the rules allow it? Is it players/club choice to manage how they want or is there some formula regarding total allowable minutes played per weekend or something like that?

Doing that...flying them back...wasn't an issue last year...a couple were quite touch and go in terms of flights.

    MATCH SIM: Friday 7th February 2025

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti
