This is what greets one on approach to Gosch’s this morning…

Are we doing speed training?  Practising how to ice a game?  Being put to the acid test?  Bringing ecstasy to training watchers?

The players clearly DGAF…

They put several signs out last Thursday week, at the entries to the paddock, even then people were using the field. 

This one must be a left over from those days, or maybe a CYA (cover your A).

You must admit it creates less suspicion than the nuclear testing sign.

The run on a beautiful morning had Casey players on the paddock early. They look very young to me.

Then MFC Casey players joined them, followed by MFC. Half of them in runners, soccer ball is out, some doing slow laps, many kicking the miraculous snaps from the boundary. Tracc working hard on his set shot. Max and Tmac talking to each other with some trainers. 

Lasted for 30 minutes. 

Another very relaxed, unstructured affair, love and the warm fuzzies.

I am not sure what this kind of Captain's run accomplishes. Last season they would work on the game plan, especially walk through the set ups, and some disciplined ball work.

According to the website the players are now "on individualised training schedules". This morning's Captain's Run was very unscripted (no organised activity) - it seems the players just wander about, gentle jogging, goal-kicking, etc... Casey out early again.

Our selected 23, plus the three emergencies, Adams, Laurie and Langdon all present.

 

No sign of May, Melksham, McVee, Kozzie or Windsor.

My queries have been answered.  The players are on the grass.

Superb comedic association there, D/Stoned.

Big thanks Ghostwriter, Kev Martin, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters. Good to hear the boys are doing their own thing for Captains run, much rather they save all their energy and aggression for the Roos tomorrow.

ps(how was the mood today and how did Spargs pants look) 😁👍

SpargiPants was coming across from the rooms with about a dozen or so of the boys and I greeted him with, “Hey Charles! Congratulations and good luck with your first game back!” He said, “Thanks.” Then I said, “Now don’t [censored] it up!” The boys all laughed, and while I don’t have photographic evidence to back it up… Charles laughed too! I do have witnesses though, which is good because who’s gonna believe it happened?

Spargipants looked happy. Or, as happy as he can possibly look. He looked relaxed, too. The mood was very upbeat and playful.

The Bison wasn’t down in the dumps at all, despite greeting me with, “I was dropped.”

He said he got good feedback from the coaches and that made him feel better. He said the decisions they make are always explained really well and because of that he’s not too down, and that he can’t wait to go again. 

Was trying to get down this morning to watch but tune was short and limited. 

Glorious day here in Melbourne.

Good that he will get a full run in the midfield for Casey tomorrow. His position is a bit more difficult than Lindsay, as he’s competing with Trac, Oliver and Viney…

You really didn’t miss much. Some were only out there for 10 mins. Marty Hore, for example. He said it wasn’t worth putting his boots on since that took longer to do than the actual “training.” 😅

The fox/kayo commentators kept on saying that he's called "the Bull" during the final quarter of the GWS game.  So close to the Bison, but so far...

Glad he's in good spirits!

Which bit, GW?

That you said it? All of of us ☺️

That you got those responses? Most of us 😄

p.s. Belated Happy St Patrick's Day! Slainte!

    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.
