No, I didn’t make the seven-hour round trip to Casey Fields, but my sister from another mister who lives close to Cranbourne went to watch today’s session. These are her notes…


Up and about. Serious session 

 Very loud. More talking/yelling than ever.

37 13 1 24 31 3 22 6 2 17 4 15 32 20 42 35 41 3 30 10 39 36 in attendance.

Intense keepings-off handball

Others doing jack in the pack (one kicking to a pack of six).

Milky out there.

Bowser limping off - but now back on.

Seems to be only the number 1 team out there. 23 players for a game.

Count down for kicks- only got 3 seconds to offload by FOOT

Milky playing

No Pup no AMW no Woey

The vfl boys weren’t there- actually the car park was full so maybe they were there but the 1sts needed the ground -vfl- boys might have been doing weights.

I don’t remember seeing Viney out there

Love Kolt - he has TEAM written all over him

 

And that’s all she wrote folks 😁

    No Viney no Salo?

    She doesn’t remember seeing Jack. But it’s difficult at Casey since you’re viewing from afar (from behind a fence) and Richo chose not to open the gate today.

    Re Salo, I left out one of her notes…

    Ps Salo trained and no Lachie Hunter

    And yesterday he was training in sandals or berkenshires or whatever you call them.

    Clearly an issue there but I'm sure he'll be there on Friday.

    Birkenstocks 😂

    And yeah, one footy boot, one Birkenstock. He assured me it’s very minor soreness and he’ll definitely be right for Friday. As I’ve said before though, the senior players are guarded in what they tell a fan. Sometimes they straight up lie, which is fine and totes understandable. The kids, however… they’ve yet to learn. They spill their guts. You don’t even need to ask any questions. You just need to say “Hi (insert wet behind the ears greenhorn’s name)! How are you?” and they sing like a canary. 🤣

    No 11 in those numbers…Max absent? 
    Salo and Pup numbers are there. 

    Max was there. She can be forgiven for leaving someone out, surely, and why not the Top Dog? 😅

    Salo she included as he was definitely there and was training well. She didn’t see Pup but has mentioned that he’s in a pic in the gallery.

    Viney may have a tenderfoot and Oliver may need a new hand, but I hope none of the players has a greenhorn.

    Maybe Max was going incognito.   Very easy for him to hide.  🙄

    Viney showing his age. The younger/cool kids would wear crocs covered in Jibbitz rather than Birkenstocks.

    Google are reporting a massive spike in online searches for "What are Jibbitz?".

    Is that how you use to pick the lads  up or still do?

    Yeah nah, my picking up lads days are over. 😃 That’s the beauty of being older than these boys. No one ever thinks I’m hitting on them. 😂They are relaxed and very candid. They’re comfortable talking about anything and everything. I’m like a mum to them. The other day as I walked towards Kolt he held his arms out (for a hug) and I said, “Here’s my boy.” This is exactly how I greet my own sons.

    • 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.
