My sister from another mister attended training at Casey today, she was the sole spectator. These are her notes. She says apologies in advance if she’s left any players out or if anything is unclear. The gates weren’t open and most of the action was on the other side of the ground.

-Bbb trying to run along boundary- really struggling
-Goody not there
-Breaking off into groups
-Max with mids
-Practicing drills
-They’re doing a strategies training drill. Max hasn’t kicked and is slow
-Max marked and kicked left foot small pass
-Training with energy and loud speaking 
-Sestan running boundary
-Break into 2 groups 
-Practice is tight- moving quickly from one activity to another
-Jefferson and Lever on own with coaches practicing marking and handballing- lever disinterested- kept watching the fowards and backs group drill

My sis from another Mr asked me to remove a line that was less than complimentary to a player

    Is he a chance to miss this week?

    Was getting treatment during the Freo game and looked completely out of sorts by his standards.

    Big thanks WCW & Sis greatly appreciated. Wonder what is happening with Jed Adams? Hope Rick isn’t to bad and that Goody comes good soon.

    Is she the same one who got a blister, playing twister, when her friend kissed her, which really p-sed her?

    Apparently Goody pretty sick ? 

    Yep, it started when he watched the replay of the first half against Freo.

    Symptoms - nausea, loss of hope, dizziness, mood swings

    Any other news from training?

    Just what’s in the OP. Without that there’d be nothing since my buddy was the only spectator - @picket fence has clearly pulled up stumps on track-watching - and she’s not even on Demonland. She takes notes for her (real, ie. biological) sister who lives in QLD and I nag her to send them to me. 

    You’re welcome 😉 

     

    Oh, there was one other thing: she said that early in the session the media were asked to leave, and it was then that the serious training began.

    That way you never lose. Amirite?

     

     I actually play Twister every Thursday night, except it’s officially called banner-making. Lots of bending and stretching just like a massive game of Twister.

    Except unlike your good self, B-dog, we wear clothes. But there are rules: no shoes or bare feet, only socks (Demons socks are optional but we all wear them coz nuffies). No dresses or skirts, pants or shorts only coz aforementioned bending and stretching.

    The remedy - giving the Giants a good ol’ fashioned hiding. ❤️💙

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
