CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants
more concerned about the absence of Chandler and Bedford from this evening. They along with Lockhart are perhaps the interviewees for the seniors As to the key forwards.. remember we don't have much midfield at Casey so........

CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants
not many understand what the modern VFL is all about It's a training session with simualted match conditions GWS are playing top up players and we are ... well I hope we know what we are doing. On a sunny day it's a lovely watch.. when it's 4 degrees dark and an hour minimum drive home I'll get back to a decent movie

NON-MFC: Rd 16 2021
5 places in one week could be a new record... ? A Hawthorn win would be great

CHANGES: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide
In: Brown and possibly Melksham Out: Don't care we need to score and create forward pressure

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS
Accuracy is rarely our strong point

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS
This team is starting to remind me of the usual MFC lost at selection table. All the talk of defensive forwards is nice but you need to score to win

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS
Slow start

What they're saying in Grand Parade aka Giants Stadium
yes unfortunately. I think we also gave Freo their first win
-
NON-MFC: Rd 16 2021
yep thought we had a game for a while 10 (sorry 8) goal turnaraound in one quarter plus about two minutes Back to some old TV shows for me I'll check again at 3/4 time. Perhaps that was the Cats only quarter

Mornington Peninsula could be our version of Geelong's lifestyle factor
nice try... why not Many gentlemen farmers in Red Hill not to mention some pricey horse studs The surf at Phillip Island is pretty wild from what I hear TBH if you said that Casey would be the permanent training/admin base in say 5 years I doubt that there would be a handful of presentplayers/ staff who would be impacted. Gives the newcomers certainty.

FIXTURE: Rd 17 2021
not at present. You can go to SA but you have to test and isolate until negative result on arrival and then for 14 days you are not allowed to go to any public events (more than 1000 attendees) Could change by game time... who knows these days https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/restrictions-and-responsibilities/travel-restrictions#vic

TEAMS: Rd 16 vs GWS
only around 9k at Richmond's game last night Shame that the weather is starting to turn nasty.

COVID & AFL 2021
Will be interesting to see the various vaccination levels required for the four phase plan. The phases are logical but I worry that we may not meet the vax targets. If that happens some tough love may be required. Assuming the first phase which we are now in goes until December 1 (optimistic I think) how many lockdowns and brder closures will we see.

What they're saying in Grand Parade aka Giants Stadium
In a game some years ago they paid a few guys to dress up as orange bananas and that was the GWS cheer squad. It was quite amusing until the game turned and GWS ended up thrashing us. It was one of those many games that MFC went into as red hot favourite.

NON-MFC: Rd 16 2021
wow.. very nice not sure if it's good or bad for us Hopefully irrelevant

TEAMS: Rd 16 vs GWS
No Hogan will make the Casey night match a potential blockbuster

TEAMS: Rd 16 vs GWS
AVB would make a decent sub but perhaps one week too early Jones has a slight calf strain... Utility Nathan Jones, who was listed as the AFL Medi-sub (unused) against Essendon, has suffered a minor calf strain and will miss this weekâs match. Jones left the track early during Wednesdayâs main training session at Casey Fields, with scans later confirming a small strain. âThis is unfortunate timing for Nathan, given he has been able to perform at a high level consistently for the past month in the VFL,â General Manager AFL Performance Alan Richardson told Melbourne Media.

What they're saying in Grand Parade aka Giants Stadium
In their defence there are now about six posts in the game preview thread. That's a 300% increase !! We lost first time around because Flynn couldnât play a full game against Gawn and he destroyed us. Either mummy plays with Flynn or both young tucks miss out. play mummy this week and then give him the week off against the Sunâs who donât have an experienced ruck. if Taylor and Hogan get up and play 1âs I think we are a red hot chance in this game

COVID & AFL 2021
Apparently 1900 people in Scotland who recently tested positive had attended the Euro's soccer tournament at various venues. Definitely a different approach in Europe. Meanwhile this week US school holidays start (4th July Holiday etc) and it's let it rip time https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jun/30/surge-in-scottish-covid-cases-raises-euro-2020-safety-concerns

COVID & AFL 2021
It's okay .. we don't make too much mess Imagine being the second game after a Collingwood v Essendon match You do wonder though if they will have time to remove the cheese platters

CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants
Would surprise me if all the Giants VFL players were here in the bubble. They have jobs outside football. Perhaps they will be allowed top up players
