S&Gs this morning, which is ok imo since they’ve trained so hard at Casey this week.

Serious question: when congratulating debutants, should they ALL be congratulated, including emergency and sub players?

    Congratulate the subs but not the emergencies.

    Thank you! I’m glad I asked since I would’ve congratulated all of them.

    Congratulate everyone but remind them that we have to win. I've been bagging Collingwood and Carlton fans hard and I can ill afford the return fire should we lose.

    Afl.com.au is good guide. Each game will have milestones, which I believe last season or season before they've started putting in debut games as a milestone. It will say this even if the team is the squad team before the final team is announced, then it removes it as a milestone if they are a emergency player.

    Been out of it this week with no idea what is happening. Was just driving down Punt Rd past the ground and turned my head to be pleasantly surprised to see the boys out there. I immediately pulled over into the river and am walking up now.

    Very relaxed session again.

    All Casey players were out, (joined by the AFL Casey after there meeting), then AFL strolled onto the paddock. 

    The players ran the GW gauntlet with humour and fun.

    Very few with numbers on, mainly the training singlets.  

    No sight of Jamar. Whelan was helping, first time I'd seen him for a while. Jones spent time with Henderson. 

    BT talking to Richardson in the centre.

    A couple doing some runs, a group with a soccer ball, others gathering the low ball with a trainer, the rest goal kicking (many joined in later).

    Last out there, Tracc, Oliver, Henderson and Bowey.

    I can't help but feel a certain poster starting to get very frustrated with this thread.

    It was the mother of S&Gs sessions therefore we can be forgiven for indulging in a S&Gs thread, surely. It didn’t even go for the advertised 30 mins. As he was walking back to the rooms, Salo said, “Thanks for coming for the solid 10-minute session!”

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
