I think McGovern may have been injured against the Pies.

    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

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
