They had on the news the other day that selwood was visiting various clubs training sessions, he's got some role at the afl

Is there going to be training next Monday open to the public at Casey? 

No, today was a scheduled open training at Casey, they’ll now resume training behind the locked gates as it usually is.

I would not trust at all that he isn't sending information back to the Cats

Apparently we're off to Arden Street for a praccy match on potentially Saturday 22 February.

The last time we played North at Arden Street in a practice match, we had a bit of a minor pandemic a couple of weeks later....

I’m confused. We were told the family day type event at Casey on the 14th of February is a scratch match vs North. Clearly it isn’t. It must be just another open training session 🤷‍♀️

I read somewhere this morning that Pup left the field limping yesterday and apparently it didn’t look good and he looked upset.

It would be nice if the club gave us a bit of an update! 

We had Chin in a sling and we haven't heard one thing.

Really disappointing to hear about Brown.

Out of all the young first and 2nd year players, i had him down for a break out season.

Big big fan of young Kynan..

Same....hopefully it isn't an ACL. However, if it is you would have to think Roy George is a big chance to come onto the list.

Yeah I recall you wrote that we were playing North at Casey on 14th Feb. That date seemed a bit early for the first practice match,

There’s so many dates and events to keep up with this off-season, more so than previous years. Not just these open training sessions and praccies, but a ton of other club/DA-related stuff, too. The 14th of February is defs too early in the year.

I went to that game. Loved it.

Brought back memories of going there in the 70s and early 80s.

(I went to the footy every week in, I think 1979, with a mate who supported the roos. We used to alternate dees and roos games so I saw plenty of games at Arden Street that year).

It's on my side of town, so I'm absolutely wrapt the praccy match is at Arden Street.

I'm a lock.

I'm assuming training's at Casey today and Monday, and they'll be closed sessions.

This time Last year on the Public holiday Monday they had an almost full scale intra club game open to the public. Guess that's not happening this year.

Any idea if you can watch a closed session behind the fence in the outer wing at Casey, or you're wasting your time and they'll tell you to go away? Can recall in the pre season of 2021 they had no issues with supporters peaking through the fence.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    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.
