No sleep 'till Melbourne!

They’ve split into line groups and doing light drills in those groups. Backs, Forwards, Mids. 

There’s a small group of Nibbla, Woey and Laurie doing some one of one ground ball drills.

Anyone watching how Tmac is moving? My eyes have been busy with Fritta and Kozzie 

[Marco 71]

Any news on Smith please?

No show 

[Supreme_Demon 3,065]

Hopefully a good turnout of Demons supporters?

 

Sadly, I couldn't make it due to work commitments.

 

It would be interesting if any media show up. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. 😒

would have thought he may have been sub

[Demonland 67,237]

Boys coming off the track now. A very light Captain’s Run. 

Major things to report:

Fritsch moving freely and well

TMac In. Moving well too. 

No Joel Smith on the track. hopefully just a cold and they’re keeping him away from the group. Otherwise he has to be one of the unluckiest player to play footy.

Any word on why??

Would be a great sub. Disappointing if he's once again injured at the wrong time.

Thanks..Not good he is important for us 

 

[Nascent 8,093]

Concerning about Smith. He would be a fantastic sub for insurance at either end of the ground.

Based on your observations do we think it's only going to be the one change only with McDonald for Melksham?

If Smith is out then that complicate things. No exact replacement but weather probably opens the door for another small forward Spargo or Woey or Laurie. 

And yes McDonald for Melksham.

Paging @Dannyz - any Smith news?

[Dee Zephyr 18,684]

There's been a few instances where a player has not trained during the Captain's Run and played the next day. Hoping this is the case with Smith.

Could be a sniffle, a family emergency, food poisoning.

I believe his partner is pregnant, maybe she's in labour? 

Am I worried? No. I am not worried. I never worry

[Wrecker46 2,793]

A few obvervations but it was a very short and light session so don't read too much into it:

The end to end no pressure drill suits Hunter but he really is a beautiful kick of the footy

Oliver had the fumbles

Kozzie was taking set shots at the end and wasn't setting the world on fire with either drop punts or across the body shots

Chandler gets some real penetration on his kicks with little effort

Smith was a no show. I've got no idea how our forward setup would look without him so I'm guessing Collingwood will be in the same boat. Hopefully he is fine

Genuinely curious why those young Casey players are still training and not having an early start to their pre-season to freshen up? It's not like any of them will play in finals.

What if the flu ravages the team similar to Geelong 2021??

Smith is in Pic 13 from Monday's training gallery. Let's hope it's a dentist appointment.

Gees what a good report. I've never been less confident of kicking a winning score!

[At the break of Gawn 3,989]

Hopefully the media asks Goody about Smith.
