Big Easter egg hunt on right now at Gosch’s for the kids of players and coaching staff. Bmac (Bella McDonald) is absolutely cleaning up.

Childless players are heading over from AAMI now 😅

 

Thanks GW.

I know you’ll address this regardless, but a report on May and Kozzie would be appreciated. Yesterday‘s main train session would’ve probably told the full story though.

I heard that Pickett painted his eggs purple, Petracca demanded each member of his extended family receive an egg personally from the coach, and that Oliver had come through in the middle of the night smashing all the eggs on his forehead and then putting them back.

Other than that, things went quite well. The kids were so good at finding the eggs that for next week's game we are going to paint Van Rooyen bright colours and have the kids replace our midfield.

 

Kossie looked fine - unhindered. May did much less and had a long discussion with Selwyn and Richo. Pure speculation, but he may still be a test tomorrow.

I note that Fritsch, Howes and Henderson are the emergencies. (The message there is that JVR needs a full Casey game). If May doesn't get up and we tap only from emergencies, perhaps Fritsch gets a reprieve and Turner may go back for May? Even though selected forward, Turner could still swap with Petty. Freo's back three of Cox, Pearce and Ryan need to be challenged....

If May plays, and given that Casey play tomorrow, perhaps Fritsch plays a half and is back-up for a warm-up injury?

Otherwise all 23 selected present today together with the Casey boys. Trigger alert, soccer balls present - but most players did goal-kicking.

No rehabbing (Hore, Lever) that I could see.

BTW, it's the 18th today - header needs to change.

Both “trained” normally, although today’s session was really not much to go by because there were kids running around etc. and not a lot of training was happening (today of all days… no soccer balls!). Yesterday my friend was at Casey and said both Koz and Maysie trained unhampered.

Fritta has already been told he’s only playing a half at Casey then he’s heading over to the ‘G before the start of the firsts.

I heard there was a problem with the delivery of the eggs and none were found inside 50

That is so true The Ox I was only thinking the other day that since all the winging and carping on DLand all the training intel has completely dried up. Sad really.

I'd love to know the reasoning behind why we moved our main training from 3 days out to 2 days from match day.

It still doesn't feel right in terms of the boys being able to fully recover / refresh prior to match day.

I'm assuming we made the change this year?

Who's idea was it? What do the boys think after 5 rounds and five consecutive losses?

What are other clubs doing in this regard i wonder.

I realise the losses may not be connected in any way but from outside looking in it raises a flag for me, even if it's a very faint yellow.

No they were all inside 50 but the kids nor the parents could find them. Turned out they were all out of bounds in the forward pocket.

Edited by Roost it far

No May.... Howes in. Not like it makes much difference at the moment.

Why would anyone want to post training info and get potted mercilessly by the Eeyore brigade which has multiplied like rabbits?


Juddy’s 8 week old golden retriever puppy joining in the activities this morning. Very happy in her work.

But who is seeing the real training sessions that only occur at Casey these days to be able to report? The training at Gosch’s is recovery or a Captains Run with soccer balls etc.

It's called being demoralised, Ox.

The Captain's run has become a social outing.

Out onto Gosch's, AFL playing for Casey and some Casey players, then the MFC AFL,

No warm-ups, no structure, a few kick to kick, some kick to groundball gathers.

A few lap running some downfield runs.

Fritta and Oliver, work together.

May running around with low impact movements.

Kossie enjoying the camaraderie of other indigenous and their kids. Three juniors were returning the balls on goal kicking, with skill.

Tracc, only goal kicking, appears serious.

Tholstrup has changed body shape, now top light, looking faster.

The emotions seem sober, I assume plenty with self reflection. Glad the Easter egg hunt brought joy to the kids, who shared the paddock with MFC teams.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
