TRAINING: Friday 17th April 2025
Kossie looked fine - unhindered. May did much less and had a long discussion with Selwyn and Richo. Pure speculation, but he may still be a test tomorrow. I note that Fritsch, Howes and Henderson are the emergencies. (The message there is that JVR needs a full Casey game). If May doesn't get up and we tap only from emergencies, perhaps Fritsch gets a reprieve and Turner may go back for May? Even though selected forward, Turner could still swap with Petty. Freo's back three of Cox, Pearce and Ryan need to be challenged.... If May plays, and given that Casey play tomorrow, perhaps Fritsch plays a half and is back-up for a warm-up injury? Otherwise all 23 selected present today together with the Casey boys. Trigger alert, soccer balls present - but most players did goal-kicking. No rehabbing (Hore, Lever) that I could see. BTW, it's the 18th today - header needs to change.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I agree that Kozzie will not be with us next year. I have no idea what we will get for him though.

PREGAME: Rd 05 vs Essendon
I see Lindsay is a "test". If he is OK, my call is just one change - Lindsay in for Sharp. We shouldn't drop Spargo based on one quarter of football, a quarter when our team pressure rating disappeared.

"Beyond my pay grade", as the cliche goes, to answer that question. I will be there early to watch the Casey boys - I have a simple view that a strong Casey is good for the Club. A draw and a win against the Suns by them has been very encouraging. My thought is that no way the main game will be a blow out, given the inclusions; a win would be special with Gawny hopefully rekindling memories of special moments down there.

She is scheduled for some technical training and I am sure she will be back on the "mojo wire" soon.

Yes.

Yes.

PREGAME: Rd 04 vs Geelong
We will have Windsor this week - maybe Lindsay next week, and McVee the week after.....light and tunnels.....

TRAINING: Thursday 3rd April 2025
Maybe they will? Although I would rather Rivers gets a shot at what he has trained over the summer, i.e. through the midfield...

TRAINING: Thursday 3rd April 2025
They were with the Casey group. With Lever in doubt, the only change in the backs will be Windsor in for Howes.
-
TRAINING: Thursday 3rd April 2025
Absent: Lever, Jefferson, Hore, Woewodin As the session ended Lever walked out from AAMI, chatted briefly to the phyio staff and walked back so, unless he is a test tomorrow, I would suggest he will not be playing tomorrow night. Based on the split between the Casey group and the main group I would expect: In: Spargo, Turner, Windsor, Pickett Out: Billings, Howes, Johnson, Lindsay (inj). Campbell did come out with the main group, but was doing some supervised drills and running, so I don't think he is the 23. I did see a couple of soccer balls, but no organised soccer game this morning.

PODCAST: Rd 03 vs Gold Coast
Bar McVee, we should be back to pretty much a top 23 on Friday night - so let's see, and fingers crossed we don't lose anyone in the first quarter. Cannot comment on training standards as the main session each week is at (a closed) Casey - at Gosch's we see just "flush" and Captain's runs.

TRAINING: Monday 31st March 2025
He was there.

TRAINING: Monday 31st March 2025
Yes, Windsor was in the main group and Goody mentioned in his presser that he expected him back this week. My guess is McVee is not quite ready.

TRAINING: Monday 31st March 2025
Goody was there, but the assistant coaches were running the "games".
