How does the Casey training system work both pre season and in season. At some point do they take say 12 melbourne players who are obviously not in line for senior selection and train one day a week with the casey players. Can't imagine a Casey team could gel without some kind of joint training. Or do they just invite 6 -10 Casey players to Melbourne training one day a week.

Have a look at his face in the 2km time trial on the website. That steely determined look compared with the others running behind. When the game is on I don't think you need to worry about a depressed look.

He'll be just what we need to take over from ANB. He is a hunter. He tackles hard and runs to every contest and will make Viney's role much easier. With him, AMW and Viney we will have extreme small/medium player pressure second to no other club. The forwards will love him with his disposal which is a huge plus over ANB.

He'll be great. Just what we needed someone in the midfield but can go forward and take a from the side front of pack mark in a similar way to Fritta. Tracc kicks goals from marks further out and none of the other midfielders are known for their goal kicking. This could be the guy who does that. His forward running will help Oliver as well - I can see the both of then combining through the middle of the ground.

if he is excellent as an AFL player and later wants to go home, you get a first round pick and something else. So It's not much of a gamble.

I'm sure with pick 5 we'll get a good midfielder that will add to our top midfield but he will probably be around 183 tall looking at what is available. The only thing we don't have is a tall 192 -194 cm midfielder that other clubs have. I hope we use pick nine for one.

Whilst I dont have a problem with Petty going into defense, we have no other forward close to 200cm. He cant replace Thommo as he was only insurance for regular key defenders. TMac Lever and May are enough in our regular defence for talls.

McVee wanted to put on weight. Anything obvious?

Maybe an email to the club for the attention of Richardson would bring results knowing that most supporters use the spreadsheet as an overall guide

And yet Frankston and Casey grounds are about the same travel time as each other from the city, and Casey has much better facilities for players including extra grounds to train on and an indoor kicking area.

Love your work R&B. Any chance you could put a spot in for all the assistant coaches and roles (if known). There's been a couple of changes with maybe one more to come.

Agree with all above. In my best 22

The lights at Frankston have enabled night games for TV coverage and extra revenue. So they've gone from cellar dwellers to destination club.

mraz would be interesting

Usually at this time the occasional person spots a few having a run pre official training at Gosh's
