Feel like May has looked hindered this season, particularly bending to pickup a ground ball. Might be time for a rest this week?

No Lewis is too good. 

May will be needed  Petty also possibly.

I also think the oppo's are really doing well to curb May's influence... Our defensive setup behind the ball has been our 1-wood for a few years now and so its not unexpected that our opponents go to school on us. I do wander how we will fair if Petty eventually goes back behind the ball.

Thanks Kev

Was JVR there in good spirits, or was he nursing a severely injured bicep with which he tried to murder that GW$ guy??

Do you mean the GWS guy that was playing for the Suns?

Yes, looked like a brainstorming session of more than 5 minutes, and Petty was into it. I'd say Petty is working out of the backline, or at least the swing man.

All the "Petty has to go back to defence" landers go...

K.Turner and Verrall, have been increasing their work load, Kyle more so than Verrall.

I have forgotten - why did we recruit Verrall? How big is he? Thanks

Was told that Harmes was sick today, don’t know severity, may impact selection?

A few of us from the Demon Army bumped into Sparrow and his mum and gf at a kebab place after the game.  Maybe the team ate some troublesome street meat?!

Chaplin said Rivers was sick prior to the game, could be some sort of bug running through the club at the moment.

Played well for being unwell. Measure of a pretty good player.

Will showed a bit in the pre season games and I was very keen to see him in Casey colours. Shame he has had an interrupted season as he looks quite promising.

Ruck and possibly even develop as a key forward is his chance. Can take a mark, looks pretty mobile and he is a decent size for his age.

Where did you find the training info? Or did you just show up knowing they train the same time roughly each week?

I'm looking to go Wednesday morning at Gosch's but the club website is showing April 23 as the last advertised session. Any tips on what time I should show up?

Yes, just guess work.

They have been having their main run out at Casey, usually at 9.30 am, 3 days before the game day (Wednesday this week).

The next one at Gosch's is the captain's run, the day before the game also at 9.30 am (Friday this week).

They have a recovery run on Gosch's, usually Monday at 11.30 am.

If last year was any indication, it's a hard no from me.

Should play 2 to 3 Casey games and then come into the seniors. 

I would say 2 or 3 Casey games and see how he goes.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 19th February 2025

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today. It consisted of a match simulation for one half  and then a free choice activity time. Activities included kicking for goal,  aerial , contest work etc. I noticed the following players not in match simulation Jack Viney  running laps and looks fine for round one . I think Kolt looks like he’s im

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    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
