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 🤷‍♀️

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
