*Denotes 23rd Player

You’d imagine Neocleous will play in the centre 

The AFL seem to be streaming the VFL and VFLW again this season, through the AFL Live app.

I can see they are showing two games at the moment.

Poor old Tom Fullarton.  Even his own club can't spell his name right.  

this sounds like a job for petit four

good - best place for him to continue to develop his game

he kicked 20+ goals in the vfl in his first year as a forward on an afl list

now to add extra strings to his bow he can develop a defensive mindset

Training:  Captain's run at Gosch's 

The AFL rehabbed are having a strength and conditioning session. Sestan plenty of running, Melky working hard and is now leading with intensity against a defender (non-contact), and receiving from Sestan. Bowey running laps. Turner going harder and has started change of direction drills. Hunter has also increased his intensity, now doing structured kick to kick with Turner.

Casey players are out.

Low ball get drills to start them off, (Sestan, Turner and Melky have joined the squad), then some handballs with short run throughs. Now skills in a square, finishing with a kick on goal. They have gone into a big square of four corners with bigger kicks and run throughs.  

Not many numbers match the VFL team sheet, and it seems to be last seasons squad.

White has a support on his left knee and is sitting out most drills. 

AMW is not training.

Number 50 is a big unit playing as a forward.

Structured sims. First from back to front, then reversed. Tomlinson setting the rules and pushing standards. Jefferson and Adams, in the back pocket. Verrall and Farris-White rucking. Tholstrup and K.Brown forward, with Tholstrup being pushed up into the stoppages. 

Coach (Whitford) now pulls them together and demonstrates what he wants. He walks them through various scenarios at different areas on the field as they mime the actions. White attends these pantomimes, so could be playing.

They end with goal kicking. 63 has the skills, rarely misses.

The rehabbed stay out on the paddock for extra drills and sprints down the field.

McAdam was not there, I think he has his own program.

Jefferson has done pretty good since going to the backline. Do not mind at all him playing back there if hes gaining confidence. Cause he wasnt getting much of the ball in the fwd line

With injuries to May and Lever there are openings for Tommo or maybe Adams ? Haven’t seen much of Jed this year and thought he was a fair way off last season but will be interesting to see if he can put his hand up 

This game is on channel 7 on Sunday and will be televising this game 

Does anyone know if you're allowed to bring dogs to Casey home games?

Surely we rest Tomlinson for this game (or at least a half) to make sure we've got him fully fit for the AFL next week?

Don’t think so. Unless it’s changed since 2020. All I could find was this though.

Post above suggests new guidelines.

Pre pandemic dogs were very welcome. I can recall Neville Jetta and his family having a lovely little dog at Coburg.

Went to Box Hill  immediately post pandemic and certainly lots of dogs... all well behaved

Thanks gents.  Looks like a no.  I seem to recall seeing dogs there in a final late 2022 but memory from then is sketchy

Game Day!
 

Andy, WJ and assorted D’landers, must have have been partying hard into the Wee hours. Celebrating the Mayblooms de-petaling.

Box Hill Hawks may be a different proposition, faint echoes of the empire strikes back?  As the Enterprise voyages fearlessly into the unknown. This seasons new Casey  Demons are also a relatively unknown quantity with many new faces on board. Mixed with some more familiar faces. Today’s transmission from Planet Casey will soon reveal whether the blend of new and old will gel. A New Hope?

That’s better!!!

The player listed originally at full forward in the Casey team is Caleb Lewis # 70.

Thanks @kev martinshocking google Sundayitis from me !!! 

The original list had M.Lewis at full forward.  

Looks better with Caleb Lewis at full forward.  

Read that he was a young star at St Bedes in the VAFA.  

Interesting to see how he goes.  

I am getting worried about Jefferson.  We effectively got Jefferson and Windsor in the Jackson trade compensation. Jefferson is a good young player. Good mark but second efforts and current frame mean he’s easily beaten at VFL level. Perhaps a stint in the backline will help build more desire for the footy and the contest.  

I’d give him another 18 months on the list at least.  Early days still.  

Caleb Lewis is a 196cm prospect from VFL Footscray VFL who formerly was with the Sandringham Dragons.

Thanks DD36. Saw team list said M.Lewis so thought it was him. Stand corrected.
