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 big sign announcing it to the world is the opposite of sneaky!

    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.

    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.” 😅

    Dm56 you’ve added a ‘d’ how prescient. “Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs…”

    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!

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
