But don’t be surprised if they’re out there at 9:30am or even 9am. They changed the start time to 9:30 a while ago.

What's a Captains Run for a match sim? Won't be much short of a normal training, numbers-wise? Presumably all the available 'probables' and all the 'possibles' vying for pretty well every position? Let us know who's there!

Will just be like a normal match day. I imagine Casey players and our players who aren’t picked for the first team will have their captains run following the firsts? (If the VFL practice match (North v Casey) is still going ahead tomorrow with the weather. 

They’re out on the ground already. I didn’t get here early enough to take note of who’s here and who isn’t, (too busy chatting to Alejandro, my gorgeous Colombian barista) but with my cr@pppy eyesight I’ll endeavour to note attendance. Hopefully Kev turns up, for everyone’s sake. 🤪

Thus far I’m the only spectator 😭

The main group isn’t out here yet. There’s about six or seven players out there and I’m guessing these are the boys NOT playing tomorrow. There’s Langers, Tracc, Knuckles, Vines, Charles, Salo, Max, and Fritta.

Knuckles is running well around the boundary.

Jack Henderson is here too and Maysie is in this group.

I would think that group are playing tomorrow, or at least some of them.

* I stand corrected!

On the park:

Trac
Spargo
Gawn
Viney
Langdon
May
Fritsch
Salem
Henderson

Rehab: McVee (updated to include Melk, Kolt, AMW and Kentfield)

Spoke to "Gus" the trainer, he said these are the guys not playing tomorrow.  Will be playing a lot of the kids.

Henderson training to get to know the guys.

General drills with running incorporated into it for fitness, nothing really to report.

McVee doing plenty or run throughs at gentle pace, but impressed considering its an eight week hammy.

Which ones? Not Trac, McVee or Spargo.

I think they will rest Max for this match or at least half of it.

In the corresponding match in 2020 we featured an inexperienced lineup.

Looks like with all the said absentees of tomorrows match there won’t be any players left to play for Casey in their practice match 😂

Anyone know how Kolt is tracking

Imagine May wouldn’t play either considering he played in the Indigenous game and we fly back to Perth next week to play Freo. + Viney has been on modified training so it would make sense that they give him another week rather than playing him in match sim against North. 

Luker says his recovery will be loooong. Minimum two months. He’s doing very, very light exercises and stopping frequently. He’s still barely recognisable. 

Windsor just left the track, not looking comfortable.  Not a new injury, but obviously still recovering 

Is Windsor going to play?

I imagine so, must have had the stuffing knocked out of him. 

Coming from a long way back, will likely have his own mini pre season.

Leb is a very happy lad. He said it’s good to be back in boots. About his injury- listed as a skin infection, he thought it was an ingrown hair at first but the medics said it was likely a spider bite and it became infected. In any case, it’s been cut out. It’s his big toe which is now sporting three stitches and he temporarily can’t bend it. He’s not playing tomorrow but has been told he’ll get a run vs Freo next week.
