Men’s and women’s teams both out on the park together. Training separately but geez it’s good to see them all out there.

The boys are all in trakkies and puffas, the girls are in shorts and sleeveless guernseys. Just sayin’ 😉

She’s in really good spirits. She said she’s happy to be only missing half the season, not the whole season. Now there’s a glass half-full person if ever I saw one.

@binman Kolt, Sharpie and Jai qualify for Casey finals. If Howes plays next week (vs Collingwood) he won’t qualify. This is according to Sharpie and confirmed by Chappy, except Chappy wasn’t sure about Howes.

Thank you! How's she going? Did she say anything about her knee?

She didn’t mention it and I didn’t ask about it. She trained separately though. She’s her usual awesome bubbly self.

Had a chat with our #33 Lily Johnson. She’s loving being a Demon and loves living in Melbourne. Her partner feels the same way

Sharp is playing his 17th AFL game this week - I'm pretty sure the limit is 12 to be eligible for VFL finals.

I would have thought Howes would be okay either way as he has only played 10 AFL games, but perhaps the rule is less than 12 AFL games.

Someone should tell Sharpie 😂

He was very confident about the fact that he qualifies and he’s not even close

Right in behind Ghosty.

WOMEN

Of the named 21, no Lauren Pearce (but that's not unusual for Loz). Molly O'Hehir on the bike, in trainers and didn't train but another trackwatcher chatted to her and she said she is playing (perhaps a corkie from training yesterday?). Kate Hore also did not join the main group but was moving more freely than on Wednesday. I reckon she will still be a "test" for tomorrow. I reckon if either of the two don't get up perhaps Goldie comes in?

No soccer balls for the women but they played short-field American Football! Loads of rehabbers working away.

MEN

The named team all present and didn't spot any of the emergencies - Billings, Adams or AJ - maybe they will all have preferred a full training day with Casey? No rehabbers.

This isn't Ghostwriter-level insight, but I did see Georgia Gall down the local shops a few days ago and my medical diagnosis based on "casually strolling around a shopping centre with a teammate" is that she'll be good to go next week. This is the most intel I've ever been able to contribute and definitely my most random "Demons in the wild" encounter for some time.

And good intel on Georgia as well. She trained apart from the group and looked very comfortable joining in main training towards the end. Harvey will be sad to hear that after he left the soccer ball did come out and they had the choice between American Footy and soccer. Kate Hore appeared to be doing a fitness test but the result wasn't evident although she looked pretty comfortable to me.

The training session for the women went for longer than I could stay, and I left at 11.30. Lots of low kicks into a net about chest marking height.

There is a fantastic spirit amongst the girls, it's great to see.

There was also a young (from my perspective) lady having her 14 birthday today with a sign asking for a pair of boots (something I've never really understood), and she got them! Thanks Kossie, you've made someone's day!

You wouldn’t have known it was cold and damp such was their gaiety. When they came to the boundary for a team huddle or a water break they were actually singing. And whenever they had to wait for, say, the field to be set up, instead of just standing there, they’d spontaneously start dancing. Endless energy and enthusiasm. They’re an absolute joy to watch.

I hope the men’s team stink doesn’t rub off on the women’s team.

The AFLW team is far more mature to let that happen, but it does have an ability to sneak up on you.

  • 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.
