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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
