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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
