PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 7th March 2025

Selwyn instructed players to head for gym for a session with Tommy Turner the strength and conditioning coach. Suspect that's the main reason for players attending today as the ground training has never been so light. 

Kolt injury still being monitored before a return to full training is decided.

Bring on moomba

    Did they confirm his injury is back related?

    Rather than elbows knees or toes?

    As reported a light fun session - not even any running, probably because they will do an intraclub tomorrow at Casey.

    Absent: McVee and Woewodin (just the other 41, no George)

    Injury/Rehab: Culley in a moon boot, Hore's bandage off, but still just using one hand. JVR and Petty seem fine. Melksham and Spargo did everything and Kolt also joined the drills.

    Apparently back at Gosch's next Tuesday and for the Captain's Run next Saturday

    It’s his foot. Unless the medics have lied to him, that is. He says it’s his foot.

    Jai’s moonboot is purely precautionary because he has “a very minor foot thing”

    His favourite Dees player growing up? Despite the media citing Max and Vines, he actually has never had a single favourite player, rather he loved the midfielders. Even as a little kid he’s always loved the midfielders.

    Was he a Dee’s fan?

    Through and through. Third generation of diehard Dees fans. His family is delighted he’s now a Dee. He admitted he was anxious about getting on our list but when it happened it was the best birthday gift ever.

    Big thanks Ghostwriter, Demons1858, Demon Jack, Harvey Wallbanger & Kev if you are there, plus all posters and special comments. Pretty light run today, great to hear that Rooey, Petty and Spargs are all in full training and Kolt is back training lightly in boots and hopeful that Jai isn’t seriously injured.👍😁

    He is included on Casey's primary list.

    Thanks K.C.

    Glad he will be with Casey but was specifically referring to him (no longer) training with the MFC senior squad.

    I reckon every boy dreamed of playing for his favourite team. (Probably girls now too!)

    You reckon that will be open to the public Ghosty or just creep vibes through the fence?

    All about bonding.

    Most of the drills had a competive edge to it.

    Golf with a footy, closest to the pin.

     Group handballing, with one more ball than the number of contestants. The one handling two balls was out, last man standing gets the chocolates. 

    Snaps for goal off passes, two teams, first one to countdown to zero wins.

    Two groups, handles ball then passes to end the set. First to finish wins.

    Kind of juvenile, they were all regressed back to teenagers. Plenty of noise and excitement filled the paddock.

    Now that the AFL list is complete, and the season is about to begin, I don't think we'll see Roy training with the main group again. First Casey match is against North on Sunday 23rd March at 11.05 am - makes it tricky to get to both games!

    Unfortunately not open. Creep vibes through the fence will have to suffice.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
