Another interstate match, I probably won’t make it. Arden St would have been very convenient.

The club should bury food caches with flags at regular intervals for anyone looking to make the journey out there.

    Thanks for the report. I watch a lot of Essendon as the wife barracks for them and LuLu did not look out of place at AFL level in their injury ravaged side last year.

    Both of us were very surprised they chose to delist him and recontract some of their in-season additions. I reckon he lands back on a list ours or other at some point.

    Zero Hanger says that he's contracted with Casey for this year.

    How has Steele going?

    He seems to be integrating well. He's hard to spot because he's in the thick of things and he isn't flashy.

    Big shoutout to picket fence for his great report and rapport with Wednesday and all posters and special comments it’s pleasing to see that our new recruits and youngsters are really stepping up to fill the void left by our two former champions, a lot to like about this group.

    Both Picketts were not at training yesterday, no sign of XL either, so not sure where you’re getting this from

    Xavier Taylor’s ability to attack from defence is reminiscent of Matthew Scarlett in his prime. King must be salivating.

    Spoke with a mate of Scarlo yesterday - said he's rapt to be working with Kingy. BTW Matt is coaching one of Torquay's U16 sides where his older son plays. Henry 15 and 193cm goes OK.

    Ai says that’s a 99.9% probability Roger. Signed for Casey this season as is Tairon Ah-Mu. So the front row and full back positions are covered.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Casey Demons secured their first win of the season by the narrow margin of four points against the Box Hill Hawks at Casey Fields on Easter Sunday morning.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
