No Casey boys here, except for Sesto and Hendo who are both confident they’ll be playing in week one of the finals

I wanted to ask Hendo about his groin and hoped it didn’t sound suss. His reply was “it’s all over the place at the moment.”

So yeah, he won in the sounds suss stakes 🤭

    AMW is also here. He’s stretching and his recovery is coming along great guns.

    His killer smile is on show today. It could stop world wars.

    Everyone is buoyed by the Casey win. The seniors are so glowing in their praise for the Casey boys, super proud of them and it’s genuine.

    They do love their soccer!

    All 23 who played on Saturday present other than McVee and Viney. TMac with the group so that seems to confirm that the half-time substitution was "tactical".

    Henderson and Sestan both present as Ghosty reported. And AMW who is getting himself set for a big pre-season.

    Jake Lever was running, and moving quite freely. Xavier Lindsay also present and working with the physio. Although only listed as one week in last week's injury report, I would be surprised if they rushed Xavier to play on Friday night.

    No Windsor, McAdam or Hore.

    None of the AFL listed Casey boys present today, given they played yesterday.

    @bluey was miffed that Kozzie gave his jumper to Luke Breust. Firstly, Koz said he did it because he admires and respects Breust very much.

    Secondly, it’s Kozzie’s jumper to do with as he so desires.

    The players all have three home jumpers which are rotated throughout the season. At the end of the season one jumper is given to the player’s sponsor, one is auctioned and the third is the player’s to keep. Koz chose to give his to Breust.

    More Uniform Fun Facts…

    With every other jumper (away, clash, ANZAC etc.) the players have two jumpers in rotation. At season’s end one is auctioned and the player keeps the other.

    The one person is responsible for the laundering of all jumpers, shorts, socks, training tops, the lot. He’s Jake the property manager and this is only one of his many tasks. He uses the laundry at AAMI which is a shared laundry.

    This isn’t about the Club saving money, it’s about the Club worrying if they hired a laundry service there’s a chance some articles will go missing (not stolen, but lost).

    And the burning question (for me anyways): why does Kozzie wear such big shorts? In particular, huge away (white) shorts. That’s because he prefers them that way. He also has his jumpers custom-fitted. Again, his choice.

    Maysie is one-eyed. I mean, literally. His left eye is so swollen he can’t open it. It looks awful and when I told him it looks awful he said, “Yep. Chol got me… again.” ☹️

    Thanks Ghostwriter, Harvey Wallbanger and all posters, great to hear that Seston and Henderson will be available for Finals, and I bet Chol doesn’t get cited for the hit on Maysie. I wonder what it is with the big shorts, in the early 70’s our shorts were pretty short and tight. lol.!!!

    So an early injury report reveals that Xavier won't be available for Friday night (and therefore done for the season, and Hendo (groin) and Jeffo (big toe) sound like they will be unavailable for Casey finals - but both are TBCs. Oli Sestan however is ready to go.....

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
