Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training.

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
