Despite the veil of secrecy and rumours that the main oval at Casey Fields was surrounded by heavy security including armed guards and snakes, it appears that the team trained there today. And, as rumour had it elsewhere, there might have been a surprise guest at the ground.

Check out the Training Gallery 27 January

(clue: go to picture 34 - and I suspect that number is not a coincidence either 😀)

    Haha making it picture 34 can’t be a coincidence! Clever

    Not wishing to throw any more gasoline on the fire of unbridled speculation. Concerning the current incumbent of guernsey #36. I’ll leave that angst to the tea leaf readers, gypsy fortune tellers and tarot card mystics on another thread.

    But admittedly the question Where is  Kozzie? did briefly pop up as l went deeper and deeper into the photo gallery. Yes he did appear at pic #42. Which may help those losing sleep resolve the ultimate question of Life, the Universe and Everything Kozzie.

    But the waiting time for an answer took ‘Deep Thought’ 7.5 million years just to find the question. Before the answer pops out Earth was demolished to make way for an intergalactic express way. So no MCG to play on anyway.

    Lever looked like he was in the thick of things and must be close to full training.

    Hopefully we have 4 to choose from, out of May, Lever, T Mac and Petty, come our round 1 defence.

    Adams also looks to be putting on considerable size now...

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
