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.

    That's some heavy strapping on Chin's knee. If he's out who replaces 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?

    • PREVIEW: West Coast Eagles

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
