The boys are all in their junior football guernseys. Some jarring sights here: Essendon, Richmond, Collingwood etc. guernseys. Tmac asked me if his jumper is too small (it is) but I said it looks fine. Nothing wrong with a belly hanging out from a jumper, right?

    My boy Luker won’t be debuting this season. He’s not as disappointed as I thought he’d be. He said they don’t want him in his debut going up against Barrass and Battle, or Collingwood. LOL… they didn’t specify filth players, they must mean the whole side.

    ok i think we need a photo of TMac please Ghosty :)

    I’ll attempt it. The jumper is not only too short, it’s skintight as well. He’ll take out someone’s eye with his nipple.

    He’s the one we should all be hoping has a healthy, massive preseason ! Round 1 awaits

    I was keen to see him in the ones to get a look at him. But on reflection i'd much prefer he play out the season at Casy and continue his development.

    Doing so also supports Casey finishing off the season strongly which i think has an outsize importance with all that has gone on. A strong finish by Casey puts a pep in everyone's step, partic if we also have a strong start to our AFLW season.

    And it creates an opportunity for our young players to gel, develop their own game and have a shared experience they can carry forward in their time at the dees. Plus it creates an opportunity for Fullerton to continue to thrive down back which could be a lifeline for his AFL career.

    @Ghostwriter do you know if Kolt, Sharp and Howes are eligible to play VFL finals (i'm assuming Cullley is)?

    He saw me trying to sneakily take a pic so he pulled the jumper down, crossed his arms to keep it down, and breathed in…1AFB4D1F-00EB-450F-B9A9-64CBECB02476.jpeg

    That is understandable.

    I look forward to his debut next year, bigger and stronger.

    They’d all gone back to AAMI when I read this. I had a chat with Chocco right at the end and he’d know about this since he’s at Casey matches.

    After training he put his arms out like someone who’s wearing a Demons jumper. I told him I can’t hug him in that revolting jumper so he said he’ll take it off. I weighed up a Geelong jumper hug vs a sweaty topless hug and went the sweaty topless hug route (I took one for the team). As I walked away he yelled out “GO CATS!” 🤬

    Fantastic stuff Ghosty. All present today bar Lever, Hore, McAdam and AMW.

    Windsor present doing some light stretches, after his hamstring injury on Sunday.

    As usual Tom Campbell didn't do much and looks to be carrying a lower leg or foot problem. Hendo coping with a groin issue - but I expect both of them still to be available for Casey.

    Xavier Lindsay was running laps and did not join the soccer. Fritter also running laps and TMac did not do much. Good to see Sestan there.

    The mood was certainly much more update than last week's Captain's Run.

    We'll get the official injury report shortly.

    So I asked Luker to sign this jumper of mine in readiness for when he debuts (next season, but you never know)…

    A856E9C2-7012-4A59-85B6-08C7513A5131.jpeg

    Before he signed it he was waving the sharpie around with a very serious look on his face. I asked him what he was doing. He said, “I’m practicing first, I wanna make sure I do it properly.” He was actually fresh-airing his signature. Bless. 🥹

    Sounds a good management plan.

    Keep him away from Moore’s knees.

    Is that Turner in the tigers top behind kozzie’s right shoulder? How’re the pipes!

    I want to see Bailey in a Big V jersey for real life - He looks ace in it.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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?
