Was there training on today?

I came on to ask the same question. 

Most clubs are into a regular training program which would involve three main sessions a week. I know Carlton trained today.

    They trained at Casey this morning. I wasn’t there but my buddy was, and her text message was short and sweet:

    “Went to training today and wow just wow- I have never seen them like this! It was full-on. Serious training no holding back. Only me and 2 other spectators. 
    The rehab group were on the back oval- but all were running, moving and kicking  really well as far as I could see. 
    The boys are so fit! I can’t wait to see them actually out on the ground.”

    Our players train every weekday except for Thursdays. They also train on Saturday mornings.

    … which is not conspicuous at all, but which will likely be publicised closer to the day. It will be at Casey. Starting time yet to be announced.

    Hoping to get a good turnout at open training tomorrow at Casey. 

    A great opportunity for little Dees (and not so little Dees) to get autographs/selfies with the boys. There’ll be face-painting, handball comps, a coffee van and the pièce de résistance… the Demon Army *Sausage Sizzle! A snag in bread (with or without onions) is the **breakfast of champions and it won’t cost you an arm a leg. Profits go to the purchase of new props, for example we’re gonna need giant heads for some of those young ‘uns who are qualifying for a giant head a-head of time (see what I did there 😁).

    So if you’re undecided about attending, please choose to come and get up-close and personal with our awesome players!

     

    * Capital ‘S’ in Sausage Sizzle because yes,  it’s that special.

    ** apologies to Mr Vonnegut.

    Dear Ghosty, ordinarily I would have been there, but busy cranking the waves and cranking the fish at Port Fairy, hopefully you will think of me as you turn the snags and feed the multitudes. P.F

    I’ll think of you, but not while I’m turning the snags coz I won’t be turning the snags because apparently snags burnt beyond recognition aren’t appetising I’m till-b!ttchh so I’ll think of you while I’m handing our first customer $97 in change for a snag in bread, paid with a $100 note. This happens more often than you’d think. 😭

    Enjoy cranking the waves and fish, whatever the hell that means.

    Well that's a damn shame.

    We're not exactly blessed in the small forward department in the early rounds.

    Ordinarily I’d try to find out what’s up but I’m anchored to the DA tent. Hopefully we’ll find out soon from Selwyn’s report.

    I noticed Joel Selwood was watching on upstairs with Alan Richardson, I thought that was interesting given reports a couple of months ago we were trying to get him to the club.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
