17 in the main squad.

4 in the light duties, Hibbo, McVee, Fritsch, JVR.

2 in rehab, Chandler and Verral. 

K.Turner doing his own program.

A morning game of soccer after some running.

Those who played for Casey aren't down.

Schache has damaged a right wrist, large black supprt on it. Came on the field late. Only marking with left, doing some work and kicking with a personal trainer.

All those on light duties, including Chandler have joined the main squad for skills training. 

They are looking sharp.

Now they are into longer runs, Chandler has stepped aside.

    For someone who is apparently struggling with something, Chandler is playing bloody sensational football. Same goes for Fritta. 
     

    JVR on light duties not a surprise. Wondering if he’s going to get a rest this week. He won’t make it to September without proper breaks.

    Yep. Him and McVee could do with a rest within the next two weeks.

    "Yep. Him [JVR] and McVee could do with a rest within the next two weeks. "

    By " a rest " do you mean playing at Casey or just vegging out?

    interesting to know who is more lethal shooting for goal Kade or Fritter. So good to have 2 sharp shooters in the forward line. Kade's field kicking is also fantastic. I don't remember him being as good at Casey.

    Disappointing to hear about Schache. Looks like Petty is a straight in this weekend.

    over the years I have noticed that while you may get more time to kick at VFL level you seldom get the same space as you do at AFL level.

    Chandler is showing the knack of finding that space and it's paying off

    Petty wasn't at training, which was a concern as well.

    Given that Schache was still training, without using his hand, there is still a possibility.

    He’s not out of concussion protocol yet so maybe that’s why he isn’t training?

    Was Spargo training?

    Sorry if this has been addressed before, but does the "Concussion Protocol" (which sounds like a rejected Jason Bourne movie title) mean that players are not allowed to train until the 12 day minimum period has expired?

    Not totally sure but I think training is treated the same as a game.

    Chandler looked like he had some ankle issues at the end of the game on Saturday, so not a surprise he was having light training today.

    Confidence is a wonderful thing.

    After 5 goals the milkshake might get a run as well.

    This is probably the game to select him and make him sub for his 99th game for the Dees.

    BOG for Casey and hasn't played a lot lately so reasonably fresh legs if called upon.

    • 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.
