All set up down here at Gosch's, no players yet.

Any questions or particular observations from me, or for me about training are welcome.

    There may be some passing interest in whether Clayton Oliver is training...

    I suspect today is just a stretch and skills set. If they break into groups it would be interesting to see who from Casey is in the seniors group. Thanks

    Presume we will put JJ on a wing for Hunter.

    Curious to hear what Rivers does this session....In the backline or with the mids?

    We actually have few options in Harmes/Sparrow to possibly share the role. You know sorta what you are going to get with both....We could be much more dynamic with combination of Rivers/Kossi/Viney.

    Is Petty still in the moon boot or wearing real shoes?

    Bowey making an appearance is good. His calf must be ok. 
     

    Will go cry in the corner about Oliver now.

    How’s the mood/feel of the players? 

    Focused, all gathered together, and as they were out late onto the paddock, I presume the review was extensive.

    I was not talking about weekly ins or outs....just a few possible positional changes.

    Fwiw none of your changes are overly inspiring.   We are going to look a much less talented team on paper this week. 

    *Clearly if players are injured or suspended they will need replacements...but that is pretty darn obvious!

    I think Kev will be arrested if he attempts this.

    Look, I’m probably not known for the best choice of words when posting… this may be another prime example of this 😂

    Took a while to spot him, Dunstan is in full training mode.

    I think they are testing him out physically. 

    One of the last to leave the paddock, after doing some low ball gets.

    He is moving OK, but only short movements. No strapping and feeling the top of his left quad.

    Scared and fell I'm imposing if I take his attention away from what he is doing.

    Oliver has entered the field, doing some resistance work and also going a bit harder. 

    Now a bit more, does some switching with his steps, looking comfortable, all smiles, and Petty who is close by gives him a hug.

    He has put on a stretch strapping and doing some slow 50 meter run throughs under a timer.

    Carrying a ball, doing small kicks, Tracc has a hand slap with him, looking positive and on the low side of grading.

    Is Oliver the new Jimmy Stynes?

    So at least we know his hamstring is still at least somewhat attached to his body… or he’s doing a Steven May circa 2021 😂

    Dare I take this as a good sign that it's a minor 1-2 week injury and he'll back for Kings B'day??

    • 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.
