Six and his Camera travelled down the highway in the hope that it might be open session. Alas not, until the back gate was opened for Gawny, Gus and a few others to head over to one of the other ovals for some special training. I took the opportunity to meander on in for a closer look but was swiftly told to stop taking pictures, go figure. So, I headed back out behind the fence a took a few more.

    Any ideas who was running around in #13, #34 and #46?

    Current players or train on players?

    Six another ripper production. This time with an infectious and (very apt) south of the border dance beat. Fortunately Fidel is passé, as a basement ‘debrief’ at Casey is not an enticing prospect.

    Thanks Six that is brilliant footage and I also enjoyed the upbeat background music. I am going to have to brush up on the player numbers as we have a lot of changes. Petty is way ahead of my expectations.

    The lack of a welcoming environment re enticing supporters down to watch training at Casey is both mesmerising and a total disgrace! I am growing tired of venturing down there, ( and navigating slithera city) trying to see behind the fence and the mesmerising  view of players wearing wrong numbers almost does my head in!. A Closed training session FFS. I pride myself on accurate reports with banter and candour and dialogue to boot. WHAT IS THE CLUB TRYING TO PROTECT?? Top secret training form and rocket science that no other club is aware of of our style of play?? Crikey give me a break! Every club knows how we play, this lack of support for us hard core supporters that venture out to support and watch training pionts to a ........ Culture problem of cold war significance. OH I FORGOT WE DONT HAVE A CULTURE PROBLEM🤯

    Devils advocate. This is the time of the year to practice new game plans and tactics.

    We obviously don't want to share that in the wrong hands early and it would be pretty easy for an opposition club to have someone wear a dees cap on the premise of taking photos yet they could get heaps of cracking vid of plans,  payers, training techniques etc Heaps of stuff.

    Or is your will to share more important? Just saying.

    Fantastic shots 66 cant believe the club cant provide better cover. They should just let you in and use selected shots.

    You do display the different muscle definition of the younger players which is great but may be valuable to opposition if they get on the field. Its been an issue with me for years that we seem slightly built but i am delighted that we have so many solidly built players. In saying that Lever has and still seems to show little muscle depth and yet he I enjoy every shot you have of him .

    Read an interesting article in the age about how ballet dancing has improved physical performance. It aint all about muscles  and strength but how you use what you've got.

    Super job by six.  Poor effort by the club.  Thx to those who venture out.  I was going to do a tour on Monday, but it is no longer at Gosch’s.

    A thought= maybe we will see a shift to more elite ball users to get out contested + transition concept going.  Would mean the likes of Laurie, Sestan, McAdam etc will be more prized.  With Clarry on a break it opens the path for sparrow and Gus in the guts.

    Also, BBB, TMAc and Tommo almost look like new recruits!  Certainly moving better than last year!

    I suppose the Premiers inevitably get copied when it comes to tactics and players. Who's the Nick Daicos lookalike?

    It is Noah Yze. He has been traing with the club this preseason.

    The only reason the club lets us see training at Goschs is because they have no choice. The AfL clubs that can look fans out do 90% of the time. They allow fans in for promotional events. Try getting into training at Geelong. Get used to it because come Caufield it will be lock out.

    I wouldn't hold your breath re Caulfield. It's Casey or the paddock for the foreseeable future and Caulfield is supposed to be public space so cant see a big fence being part of the deal. Collingwood has no way of locking out supporters and with their attitude towards their fans I'm not sure the would.

    Love seeing Gus without the fluro vest!!!

    There should be no pressure or expectations on Gus after what happened last year. But if he can manage to get his mind and body right he might just be the most important piece for us as full-time midfielder this year.

    I know this is a discussion that will be had on this forum in future weeks and months, but I really liked Gus' impact through the period Clayton was out last year. It was a small sample size but I thought the change in dynamic in the midfield was refreshing and gave us a different look with more versatility. In no way am I saying our midfield will be better without Clayton (potentially) but provides different opportunities and dynamics to be really effective IMO.

    I have met many VFL/AFL coaches over the years. Most would take 2 hours to watch 60 minutes.

    Supporters are locked out of training sessions so that the coaching group can pretend that they have something special.

    In my opinion.

    Caulfield will be a massive blunder, throwing good money after bad.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
