Any idea if you can watch a closed session behind the fence in the outer wing at Casey.

I don't think they can stop you from watching from outside the fence line at Casey. Pickett Fence may have an opinion. Open sessions have been advertised.

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.

They seem loath to have anyone watching nowadays. The view from the fence is cr@pp and many of the drills are done on the opposite side of the ground which makes it hard to see who’s who, even when they’re wearing their own numbers. 

Anyways my track-watching buddy just sent me this (rushed) report from this morning’s session at Casey. Some of it is hard to understand, apologies in advance, but also thanks to my awesome gal-pal for taking notes.

The session at Casey on the 14th of February is an open session and is also a Family Day of sorts, despite being on a weekday when kids have gone back to school 🤷‍♀️ 

I hope it’s true about the North game. Arden St is a cracking ground to watch a game at. It’s also on my side of town.

Yep and u know what else Id be very tempted to try either Brown dog Jnr OR AMW!!

Exactly PK 

AMW back to forward line and Pup to inside the 23.

The more pace the better so long as you can get the ball and both can IMO. 

 

Cries.  I'm going to miss training tomorrow and there looks like there's no more open sessions before I go back to Seattle.  (Literally cries.  I was hanging on seeing two more sessions before I leave.)

It’s not on the MFC website but they’ll be training at Gosch’s next Wednesday (Feb 12th) unless that changes for whatever reason. You fly out on the 15th so I hope you can make it that day 💖

North Melbourne @ Arden Street.

Saturday 22nd Feb. 11am.

4x 25 min quarters.

Further to the above:

https://www.afl.com.au/news/1266069/tickets-on-sale-for-aami-community-series-new-collingwood-magpies-on-show-before-dan-houstons-grudge-match

The AFL website still saying that the date and time for our match sim against North is TBC.

Fox Sports indicated it was an 11am start and the second and fourth quarters would have a planned 2 minute simulation at the end of both quarters.

I'd suggest it will be on the Saturday as both clubs head out to WA the following weekend for praccy matches.

They are back at Gosch's on Monday February 17th. Which probably means the training schedule for 2025 season will be, Monday recovery at Gosch's, main midweek at Casey, and the captain's run at Gosch's.

I'm somewhat perplexed at how the club came to the conclusion that one sole attendee, Mr P.  Fence, is considered an entire family!?

And which players are signing his autograph book??

I wonder where the captain's run prior to the Match Sim versus North will be?

 

I’ve been reliably informed that the Captain’s Run prior to the practice match will be at GOSCH’S this Friday, February 21st at 10am. 

Now confirmed: This isn’t an open session though. Of course spectators can still attend, the difference being the players aren’t officially available for pics and signatures after training, although they oblige the fans anyways.

Also: the practice match will start an hour earlier on Saturday due to the extreme heat. Start time is now 10am

Outside Richmond station there’s a kiosk called Pink Lemonade and the barista, Alejandro, makes THE BEST coffee. Toasties and muffins etc. are also on offer.

Richmond is full of great eateries.

If you ever wander down by the private school boatsheds on the Yarra there's a toastie and coffee van set up on Wed - Friday mornings. My oh my I've never had a better toastie and the coffee is excellent and when it comes to food and coffee I'm very fussy. The woman who runs it is pretty rocking as well and a Demon fan, which is reason enough to get down there. I walk past every week and my toastie intake is only going one way!

Yes but your barista isn’t an adorable Colombian guy. Mine is. And he’s a Demons fan too. Granted, he knew nothing about AFL until he met me but he’s onboard now. So what if he occasionally says Devils instead of Demons, English is his fourth or fifth language so he can be forgiven.

Vamos Diablos! 

Anyone know if there is training tomorrow?  Or a day off after last night's festivities?

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
