Sounding like Verall might get the call up.

Hey WCW, any sign of Salo?  Did he train with the group?

Jefferson szn 

I think McGovern may have been injured against the Pies.

Thanks WCW greatly appreciated and all posters for their comments and information .!!

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.

 

McGovern out this week Sir Swish

He trained most of the time with the main group. He spent some time one-on-one with a trainer under the guidance of a physio, and he ran along the boundary in bursts of sprinting while being timed. He looks good and was very upbeat. 

Hey @WalkingCivilWar, did you notice if Jake Bowey trained fully? He appeared to hurt his shoulder during the game and was subbed out not long after.

Cheers

Yeah, that was worrying during the match, but today he seemed fine. He trained with everyone else.

Depends DR.  Might not even be on the FD's radar and he could be a long way from being considered.

If he does get a gig you just have to hope he can compete and bring something to the table.

He's at least got some height that could worry the oppo and/or take a tallish defender away from Petty for a potential mis-match.  Especially with McGovern out.

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. 

They fly to Perth on Friday. Casey play at Casey Fields on Saturday. There’s a Casey Captain’s Run at Gosch’s on Friday morning. It will be interesting to see who gets on the plane.

Verrall?  Was he at training?  

He was. He participated in the full session. Coming back to the tent he was getting pats on the back from Goody.

KFW also trained. He said he’s currently playing in the amateurs for St. Bede’s - Mentone with the MFC’s permission and he’s really enjoying it. It was great to see him happy. 

@WalkingCivilWar it’s like you spent the time since the last training report in some geopolitical hotspot, interviewing senior cabinet ministers (but the spell was somewhat broken when you said “Spargypants”). 
 

Thanks for getting the scoops! 

Done good @WalkingCivilWar. You’re hired.

YAY! Now I have three jobs. 😁 Soon to be four since I gave Reece the routine reminder that he promised I could have his job when he’s done.

He told me he played really well in the Casey match. Blowing his own trumpet… bless him. 🥹 I asked him if he’s been told anything yet about the possibility of a call-up. He said he hasn’t but they’ve been praising him a bunch.

Incidentally, I believe everything he says because he’s a kid and I find the kids never lie. They’ve yet to learn that fans are on a need-to-know basis and mostly they need to know nothing. 😁 The young boys are so honest and they divulge everything, including stuff about which you didn’t even ask. I don’t bother to ask the older seasoned players much since I know their answers may not be the truth. Fair enough, too. Some people are blabber-mouths. Unlike me of course. 😇

I guess they will take at least 26 to Perth so Casey will be even more depleted than usual.

Am I reading far too much into this - Verrall pats on back from head coach, and the next in line KFW training not at St Bede’s.  Is Verrall set to debut?

Dannyz reported yesterday it looks like Tom Fullarton will debut - I'd say in place of JVR as backup ruck/forward.

Great report WCW. Howsey as a nickname lot of thought went into that one.
