Disco has a strained calf and will be out for a couple of matches. He’s in really good spirits despite this. He said he’s confident he’ll be back for our Freo match.

    Poor guy can't catch a break. Has been solid since joining. Looking forward to him having a good run after Freo. Seems like a good kid, and knows where the footy is. Can kick. Much to work with. Just needs some luck!

    2 tall forwards down again - if Fullerton doesn’t appear now he never will. 
    Or Tomlinson with McD forward / ruck back up? Maybe even Verrall?  Was he at training?

    Getting it out of the way earlier this year so we'll have better luck come finals?

    I'd be going Fullarton myself.  He's the only one that's capable of filling JVR's relief ruck role in the middle.

    He can also take the forward stuff.  Mind you i'm not saying he's great at this part of the game but neither is JVR.

    He's also played two consecutive serviceable games as a KF at Casey.  Will he be able to step that up at AFL level in one match?  Probably not.  But then neither would BB in his present state.

    Fullo just needs to compete, get the ball to ground if he aint confident of marking... and, stay outta Petty and Fritta's way.

    A few down the line outlet or intercept grabs would be handy also which he's been doing reasonably well at for Casey.

    This is exactly why we recruited him and his window may have opened.  No better opportunity to see where he's at than this week against bottom of the table Eagles.

    JVR will be back against Saints and by what WCW is saying Disco the week after. 
    By then McAdam should be 100% ready and Melksham will be close too. I don’t think it’s panic stations just yet, not that you’re saying it is of course.

    It's not great that we're down two forwards - but tbh it's the best time to have these issues. We're looking pretty good, it's vs the Eagles (who should not be underestimated of course, especially as it's there) - but I would far rather these issues now than against teams in the 8 right now. 

    We have recruited Fullo for a reason, so it really isn't a bad time to use him! Yeah he may not set the world on fire, but he kind of doesn't need to. Just chop out ruck relief, hopefully snag a few marks and if he scores, even better. He would be replacing JVR who, while being handy with the ruck relief and is developing well for a 21 yo, has not been in red hot form, so we just need someone who competes well. I think Fullo should be able to do this.

    We need to remember that 12 days is the minimum time required to be out following a concussion. If it takes longer, so be it. Nevertheless, I hope van Rooyen only misses the one game.

    Fullarton didn’t train. He came to the tent for five minutes with the different coloured vest on then went straight back to the rooms.

    Shane said after playing a full game for Casey on Friday he pulled up very well… no problems whatsoever. Fitness staff are really happy with his condition. He is playing one more full game for Casey (which is this Saturday). He’s been told he’ll be available for our Saints match.

    Rooey said he’s sure he’ll only be missing the Eagles match. He was there today running around the boundary before the other boys came out. He said he feels perfectly fine but of course he’s doing everything he’s told to do.

    It will be something like 17 days from Carlton to Saints. If no lingering issues he should be ok.

    Yep. Good news for WA Dees fans: Captain’s Run this Saturday at Optus. Time to be announced later in the week on our website.

    @WA Demon and other WA fans bring your kidlets as it’s definitely an open session! Selfies and signatures  opportunity.

    Shane McAdam may get the call up too. Bracket the offensive, defensive performances at Casey in recent weeks. Plus a Hail Mary and sprinkle some of Jake B’s pixie dust about for good measure. 
     

    addendum; just read WCW’s post. Straight from the horses mouth. May have to reign in expectations.

    Well it wouldn’t be a WCW training report without at least one meaningless (not insightful) post…

    Blake Howes has two nicknames around the Club. Half the boys call him Howesy, the others call him Halfway (as in, halfway house)

    Spargipants hasn’t been missing upper body days at the gym. He took his shirt off while I was chatting to him and Marty and Disco and I said, “whoa SpargiPants! Where’ve you been hiding those (muscles)?” He said, “I know, I look good, right?” I said, “yeah you look great. The only thing that rivals how good you look is your modesty.” I don’t think he understood 😝

    Just remembered: Chin trained with everyone else and had no strapping on either knee. Likewise BBB. So there’s that. 🙂

    Playing against WCE you’d think would be easy, but given he’d be lining up on McGovern or Barrass, I think he’d struggle.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
