    Clarrie’s not here, nothing to worry about, it’s just that these sessions are tailored to the individuals and Claz is “Off Legs” today which is sports medicine speak for not running.

    I told JVR he might need his big boy pants for Monday. He said he hasn’t been told yet either way. I said it makes sense to have him selected this week. He said (take a deep breath, PF) “Jeffo’s kicked 10 goals in the past two weeks, it will probably be him.”

    Probably just a coincidence but Jeffo’s not here today.

    With the soccer balls and sherrins in the same picture, I immediately pictured them combining to become pear-shaped, to reflect the Alice Springs game. Actually, pear-shaped balls might correct our goal kicking problems.

    No Rick Lever, no Melky.

    AMW looking good and looking very happy. Doing one-on-ones with a trainer.

    Spargs running along the boundary, in great spirits.

    The flushing run from those who played at Alice, and a light training for the Casey MFC and Laurie. They were separated into the two groups.

    Cold and some of the squad appeared to feel that. Arms crossed, body with slight contractions. (Harden-up Gen Z).

    Goody got round to a few of the players for long chats.

    Lever, Kossie, Viney, Johnson, Oliver, Melky, not in attendance.

    The Alice's did a warm then got into 3 laps of the paddock, some soccer then they had a choice, leave or personal drills. Four went to gather ground-balls, four to goal kicking and the rest followed Max back to AAMI.

    Goal practice included, Lindsay, Tracc, Chandler and Sharp.

    The seconds had a bit more fun, Chaplin had them in a competitive partnership drill. Then, into some sims with Whitford, 5 defenders, the 12 offenders.

    JVR forward by himself and leading towards goal in a few. Then Cambell and Jeffo on either flank leading up the ground. Plenty of looking for the inside corridor and angles into the forward 50.

    They then went onto some goal kicking, with William's overseeing.

    Marty looks ready to go.

    Spargo doing a mountain of running in rehab and his own program.

    AMW with a trainer and working on his running gait over 5 meters.

    McAdam down at training but didn't participate.

    Last on the track was Billings and Brown, working with Williams on their goal kicking.

    No GT striped balls in use.

    Thanks once again Ghostwriter, Kev Martin and all posters and special comments, I imagine that they would have been a bit flat today, not helped by the terrible news of Jack Viney breaking his hand whilst training in Alice Springs over the weekend. I heard Milkshake on radio he said that all they will do this week is goal kicking practise and then on face book Neita said he’s going to get Swarta and the real Whizz together to teach our boys how to kick, if only.😁👍

    They were quite talkative and relaxed.

    Appeared as though they have moved on from the Alice game.

    Long morning of review and an address from Daniher seemed to have helped them get set for the Woodens.

    The others presumably thought that they were ok with goal kicking.

    As I said on the goal kicking thread, unless there are very serious changes in attitude and outcomes, membership for 2025 will decline steeply.

    I think most wanted to get out of the cold.

    I could see that Lindsay wanted to work and create the best system to kick straight, focused and serious.

    So, the junior on the list felt it was important, but the seniors didn’t. 🤬🤬🤬😡😡

    I'd like to imagine that the main trainings, Thursday and Saturday at Casey would be where the standards are set. The flush runs still seem to be about comraderie.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
