Training on Wednesday is at Casey. The boys fly out to Adelaide that same day. 

Why are we flying to Adelaide on Wednesday for a Saturday game?

    Hunter one week away from a likely Casey appearance

    McAdam roughly 2 weeks

    Sparrow happy to be back in the middle on the weekend

    Would be fantastic if he could come in against Adelaide. Will especially help if Petty needs to play down back in the absence of May and/or BB needs a rest. 

    Petty was training as if playing forward today Jaded.  Not that that means he's fixed to play there of course

    BBB has gone back to the rooms but no strapping on the left knee this morning and no limp. 
     

     

    I told BBB there’s no sight more beautiful than his naked knees. 30 seconds later he headed back to the rooms. I hope I haven’t mozzed him.

    It’s a great move imo. As is staying in Adelaide ‘til after the Crows game.

    Perhaps so that the players are more settled and in a normal routine for Game Day than a regular interstate game. Happy to recreate the hub atmosphere that won us a flag if it means we aren't unsettled in these next two weeks.

    I’ve now heard from three separate people that AMW is this far *holds thumb and forefinger half a millimeter apart* from getting a call -up. He’s working so hard and has been for ages. Really happy for him.

    Last year's Gather Round was a disaster. Flew back from Perth and then to Adelaide and proceeded to lose to Essendon 🤮 Clearly applying the learnings from that debacle.

    I reckon they are really setting themselves for these 2 games and will be looking at it as a positive i.e. rather than making two trips to Adelaide throughout the year we knock them both off.

    Both are going to be tough games, but I'll back the boys in and think they will steal themselves to try go 2-0 in Adelaide.

    As they should - at our best no one touches us.  If the club is taking that mindset I applaud it!

    If that’s the case, he probably needs to get in before McAdam is ready to go.

    AMW had another good game for Casey, good not great.

    Who cares when they fly to Adelaide? Are you their wives? Let the club do what they think will work best for this absolute BS of a fixture we’ve been lumped with.

    Would really set up our season if we go 2-0 in Adelaide and potentially 6-1 or 5-2 after Anzac eve.

    Port's going to be really tough though. One of the hardest interstate trips in footy.

    Not afraid to apply defensive physicality on his opponents. That is a desirable trait in the big league. Imagine Goody, Rick and Max on the Casey balcony last Sunday were fully cognizant.
     

    For those with leanings to “learnings” lessons is perfectly adequate. Even Simon says ‘learning’ now.

    Particularly interested in Melk and Turner being in the main group already.  How well did they move?  And were they involved at all in competitive work?

    Fairly light run today, as it is the recovery session. Mainly grid work, large and small, with goal kicking to finish. 

    Some of those who didn't play Saturday and have now integrated back into training did extra laps at the end. Tracc and Sparrow also joined them.

    Hunter hitting up beautiful kicks. Turner looks fit. Melky into everything. 

    Viney looked like he has a small niggle. In the run throughs was behind the pack, which is unusual. 

    Petty without restrictions, was kicking goals 50 meters out with accuracy and ease. McAdam and Sparrow joined in as well.

    Chandler in the rehab has some light strapping on left knee.

    TMac didn't do much with the group, mainly running laps.

    Bowey working hard, running sprints, then laps.

    And great news on Lever. But he's pretty heavily strapped. 

    I thought Lever was lightly strapped, and did a 30 minute workout with a trainer. Looks good to go.

    It could be either:

    (a) the club got an excellent rate on hotel rooms for the week, saving money given Adelaide hotel prices for Gather Round

    (b) to effectively deal with jet lag

    (c) to allow time for a barossa valley tour

    (d) all of the above

    How far away are Hunter, Turner and McAdam?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
