The players were on the paddock early, so it was difficult to see who had light duties as most are already in the main group.

Harry Petty running and kicking in his rehab phase, though still in runners.

K.Turner in boots, but still in his running program. 

Hibbo training.

Will Verrall training.

James Harmes training.

I cannot see Clayton Oliver.

No BBB.

No Jake Bowey, asked a staff member, and they said progressing well in the concussion protocols. He also said, they know they won ugly against Carlton and expect a close one against Collingwood. 

 Extensive training session. Plenty of running and a drill I haven't seen before.  They play keeping off, using an outside circle of players with the defenders inside. A kind of soccer warm up formation, but a larger area. 

Ball movement drills using 3/4 of the field. One group with the mids passing it round by hand, till a whistle and they find an outside runner that comes from the defensive group, who delivers to leading forwards. Two groups, one looking inside, the other towards the boundary for the runners.

They are finishing up with more running. "Another ten and we go again".

Tmac is observing from a wheelie frame, as his foot is heavily bandaged. 

End of the session.

A few stay back, goal kicking and some pair up for ball handling, Sparrow and Laurie, Salem and McVee, and Verrall in for some extra running with a trainer on his shoulder.

    Still no sign of Oliver?

    Hopefully it's just smoke and mirrors for the benefit of the sticky beaks from the Lexus centre.

    Maybe he’s doing extra stuff indoors to pass the fitness test?

    anyone know what the issue with Hibbo was?  marked as injured but maybe more of a old man managed for a week?

    I misread Tmac as Trac and freaked out for a moment there 😂

    There was a lot of running today.

    Perhaps they thought it best not to put him out there, as his competitive nature may have had him pushing too much.

    Or do you mean Oscar the Grouch? He lived in a trash can.

    (Of course, if Sesame Street was set in Australia, he would have lived in a rubbish bin, not a trash can.)

    Thanks Kev.

    I presume that there will be a training seesion at Gosch's Paddock this week? If so, what day? 

    The captain's run is usually on Gosch's the day before the game. Sunday 11th at 9.30am.

    Will the main Casey training be, Thursday or Friday? Probably, Thursday the 8th. 

    Then it's a ten day break till the next game, Thursday night. 

    So I assume something like this break. Three days off, would make it Friday 16th, 11 or 11.30 am, for the recovery and review at Gosch's (unless it is Saturday), Monday 19th for the main session at Casey, then captain's run on Wednesday 21st 9.30 am, Gosch's.

    Hibbo was doing the full running program with everyone else. Though, a little bit behind some of the others. He and Lever were gasping, so was Tracc (who may have been "bunging" it on). A couple of the young ones dropped out, as well as Fritta (I think), close to the end.

    Pretty sure Goody said in a Presser that he was just being managed, and that he'll definitely be back next game.  Think he also said that, given his age, Hibbo will be managed this way for the rest of the year...

    Old age. Happens to the best of us.

    I think they are managing his calf. He pulled up sore against Freo so they rested him against Carlton.

     

    I don't expect to see him much between rounds 20 and 23 when we play Richmond, North in Tassie, Carlton and Hawks. I suggest they'll give him a decent chunk of time off before finals to get himself cherry ripe.

    His achilles is stuffed as well, will definitely miss games here and there.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • 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?
