In beautiful sunshine, the boys are out on Traeger Park. A few players doing specific drills while almost everyone else is having goal kicking practice. Jake doing some sort of resistance or strengthening work with a rubber tether. Clarry doing some running through the middle of the ground. Kosi spectating so far. Jack was out there for a while but can’t see him now. Only a handful of spectators.

    Session finished with the boys coming to the fence, signing autographs and posing for selfies. All smiles. Only perhaps 100 fans at best, so everyone had a spot on the fence and could get involved. A guy next to me told one of the players that he'd come from Toronto for the game! I thought I'd done well to make it here from Melbourne. Shout out to him if he reads this.

    Traeger Park in great condition for the game. Boys were fantastic as usual signing autographs and having a chat. Perfect game day weather for tomorrow

    Apologies if I've missed updates elsewhere - is Kozz a certainty to play?

    Only players I didn't spot were Sparrow and Petty, but that doesn't mean they weren't there because every player was wearing the same T-shirt and shorts, many with identical caps. But those two didn't come to the fence to sign autographs, so I don't think they were there, or perhaps went off the ground early as did Viney and Lever.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
