Beautiful morning at Gosch’s. Vibe was quite subdued.

Many were in warm gear (beanies, puffers, hoodies, etcetera), and in various kits without numbers, which made it hard to see who was out there.

They wandered round a bit, a few kicked for goals, later more joined them, some young ones did a slow lap with some stretches in between.

The backline gathered with Basset for a long chat, minus Lever who was doing his own low-key program.

Oliver and Fritsch, kick to kick.

They appeared happy.

Could Lever be a potential late out?

Not wanting him to face the side he'll be playing for next year?

The named 23 plus Tom Campbell all in attendance today, other than Steven May. TMac (although named for Casey yesterday) was present also. So it is likely TMac will be in for May, unless they are waiting to see how May presents tomorrow? Perhaps we are fortunate Larkey is not playing - TMac a pretty good match up for Darling.

The other notable absentee was the Ghostwriter. Hope all is good with you Ghosty!

Lever was present but was doing particular exercises with the physio - involving a rubber band and resistance work. Hope he is OK because otherwise it could be a "no Lever/May" game.

Our theory with Campbell is that given he is insurance for Max,the best plan is to keep him fresh. When he has played for Casey he has played the main ruck role, gives his all and invariably looks sore afterwards. Not ideal if you are on standby to play that role in the AFL the following week...

I think Lever is good to go, especially as May looks likely to miss.

Tmac was kicking goals, and leading for the inside 50 hit ups.

Tmac didn't attend the backline chats with Bassett, though neither did Salo or Windsor. I think Basset mainly talked to the young ones, Turner, McVee, Bowey, Rivers and Lindsay.

Well spotted Harvey. TMac recalled for Maysie (ill)

Lucky that we have such an excellent replacement!

Love the selection of Lindsay at HBF - at least, that's where he is named although that probably means nothing. But I suspect it will be his ideal position. Going forward to 2026, I see our backline non-talls as Mcvee, Bowey, Lindsay and the remaining spot out of Rivers and AMW (depends on whether Rivers becomes a permanent midfielder).

You'd think Rivers by now would be playing in the midfield.

Serious problems if he's not playing a majority of midfield minutes next season.

Big thanks to Harvey Wallbanger and Kev Martin for their training reports and all posters, as mentioned earlier that was a good pick up on Steven May.

I think that losing AMW forced McVee to stay down back and Riv back to half back flank but with Bowey and Salem staying back it free’s McVee and Lindsay to play running half backs and Riv into the midfield. Glad to see Windsor in the side and TMac as well.

Hope your right but Riv and Bowie are running backs with McVee and salo back.McVee to do the manning up again

Is Max in doubt?

No, Gawn looked fine at the Captain's run.

My thoughts are they are giving Campbell a feel for the game day preparation. My guess, they will bring him in if Gawn needs a managed day off.

My guess is that with a big game for Max against Xerri tomorrow and just a six day break into Carlton, they may want to keep Campbell fresh in case he is needed next week. That selection allowed Verrall to be the primary ruck tonight for Casey and it was one of the best games he has played I reckon, particularly in the second half.....

I don't think so. He gives us great bounce and offence from half back.

He was a serious thrust as a half back in 2023 and IMV, became our barometre in terms of transition footy.

  • 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.
