How'd Schache train?

From what I saw, he looked good. Standing tall, good hands, hopefully he can see a window, and at the main training can push hard.

If Schache doesn’t play Monday, I think he will 5 days later against the Roos.

It appeared that the Casey contingent did some running away from the main group for a while.  Laurie was with them while Schache was with the main group.

Viney was working with a trainer, one on one. Must be a niggle of some kind, as didn't appear too hampered.

Salem also working one on one with a trainer. Did some 200 meter easy boundary runs and some resistance training with the big rubber band, as he dragged his trainer behind him. My guess is, still a way to off full effort.

Most of those out there when snapping goals, were nailing them. I think they are building to hit the Tigers hard.

She was also playing up to the crowd, though the players and coaches must be giving her that impression.

I saw it differently Bimbo. I saw Schache, Laurie, Harmes, Hibberd and Howes with the "Casey" group, while TMac, Sparrow and Tomlinson to name three possibly in question were with the main group. Gawn and Lever were with the main group and as discussed above Viney wasn't and Spargo wasn't there.

Explanation to give

Does anyone know the lightly built guy with the early Bjorn Borg hair stylings and wearing #36? And no, it wasn’t Kozzie.

My eyes aren't young either Bimbo. I could be mistaken and you could be right. Anyway it's early in the week and they might have just stuck with last weekend's sets and it doesn't indicate anything for vs Richmond.

In fairness I just got back from a whirlwind 10 days on the road and had a mountain of work to catch up on and a podcast to prepare for.

That makes more sense 🙂

They have invited 10 year members down to Gosch's. Nothing on website training pages.

Apparently by email, crowd is building, no players yet, probably 11 am start.

I'll report when I get back home.

Addit:11.10 players still not out.

Looks like there’s someone in the group photo down from JJ that I don’t recognise. Could they have sent the AFL Academy to train with clubs this week? I don’t know

Spargo absent. Kye Turner and Salem in rehab. I thought I saw Verrall there early, but then he was gone.

Viney was working away from the group and ANB joined him for some significant running - looked like a load management exercise to me, so would expect them both to be available. Brown, Lever and Hibberd all trained unhindered with the main group so I would speculate that all three of those are also available to play on Sunday or Monday (despite Richo managing expectations there - still a main training session to come). Gawn a certainty.

And lastly, Joel Smith was training!


Well organised opportunity for 10year + members to watch training and meet the players. Lots of kids as well.

Light training mostly for show followed by easy access for members to approach players. Lots of photos and autographs.

I imagine the same applies to all teams but we found the players to be approachable, cooperative (for photos and auotographs)and pleasant to meet and speak to.

A great promotion for the club.

Only big news from training is injuries in the middle of the week so let's be real and accept the fluff of which there isn't much after Saturday's  very disappointing effort.

You have never delivered a positive vibe Old Dee so today was ideal snd thanks for your report it's greatly appreciated. 

The most interesting thing Richo said was that the players and Simon were doing the review as he spoke and no, they would not be talking about energy levels. He went on to say they would only talk about things they could control.

It seemed to be a veiled reference to the travel load (3 interstaters in 4 weeks) and prompted a question from the crowd about the wisdom of bringing the players home on a red-eye special rather than allowing recovery post match on a 6-day turnaround. Richo said that was how the players wanted it - getting back to family asap and so on. 

Richo went on to say the review would be focusing on defence and  clearances which were lacking last week.

Spoke to TMac who is still sore from the knee in the back he copped. Brown moved well, got down low several times to gather marks; Max looked good and seemed untroubled; Lever, too, although said to be in doubt by Richo showed no signs of discomfort running, kicking and walking.

TMac and May did not do much - a bit of kick to kick and uncontested marking while I was watching.  Trac looked good in some handball exercises moving the ball fast and low and Riv finished off a drill with a nice running goal that caused a few players to make some noise. Expect they will get up to some serious stuff later this week. This was just a loosener.

OD also goes by the term “reality check” . Glad you thanked him, he’s a legend of this site. Respect!!

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
