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.

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.

    He’s got a “player engagement” role, whatever that means.

    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 🤷‍♀️

    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: 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.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
