Onboard for 2025 👏👏👏👏

Forward connection. Scoring conversion. Reward for inside 50s problems for many years and still no answers apparently learnings ?!?!?! Hardly Goody - fix it finally … we need you to solve it if we solve this, we can be premiers if we cannot solve this , likely we will lose the close ones and finish 8th to 12th.

Casey Demons have made two more signings, bringing in Lachie Bryce from the Box Hill Hawks and Oliver Green from the Sandringham Dragons. The 191cm Bryce, from Mornington Peninsula power Frankston YCW, made his debut for the Hawks in 2023 but injuries kept him to eight local matches last year. Small forward and midfielder Green, from Parkdale Vultures, forced his way into the Dragons team for last year’s Coates Talent League finals and was part of the grand final side that pasted Greater Western Victoria Rebels.

Scoring is such an important part of the game but is substantially under represented in training time and focus. Why? Who knows??

DOGGA … we would welcome you back !! Wait though until Maxy retires in 2029

Some forward … that’s enough. Tall or small !

Petracca 35 metrs out to goal running in and he handballs to a player slower than him and it’s a turnover. What the ? Go for goal. Overhandballing!!! Stop it now.

Is this a joke ? Seems like click bait in my view

Learnings Still working on Forward connection Skills need improvement guess what ? it’s the same lyrics to the same song as last years

Casey was trialling some of the underage NAB league players from 2024. Not sure if any will be added or if they go back to suburban clubs or to the Stingrays as overage players.

any news ?

Best: Team effort

Not for Mcvee. No way! He’s staying in the red and blue !!!

Expect the debut jumper presentation by Dean Terlich?

Seriously… Oliver shunted!! Sam Walsh had an average 2024 and still makes the list. Ffs. Media loves the “big” clubs !! 🤮🤮🤮🤮

Still too early … wait to see who’s available and the form in the next pre season game.

Ditto. Was the overhandballing still sometimes our downfall? Yes but looked less often. I thought we moved the ball much better. Kozzzy especially was very good. His run and overlap and delivery was a highlight. Please discuss.

He’s an inside mid with great IQ, excellent kick and quick hands. Strong at the contest and tackles. Sure he’s not got that Judd like burst but his acceleration will get worked on with the athletic development. He’s a ripper kid and I’m glad he’s in red & blue.

AMW ???? Hopefully not the knee. He was in ripping form. Set for round 1 in my view

Andy Moniz Wakefield AMW- great stuff to JVR. Goal. AMW 👏👏👏

👏👏👏Oliver. Kozzzy. Riv. Kozzzy is starring Campbell looks very capable for a veteran Jeffo. Looks good but beaten in the contest on a few 1-1s - more gym needed Still have question marks ?? overhandballing!! Laurie Billings - delivery shaky

Kozzzy !!! Delivery to JVR … goal on the lead

Sharp. Looking sharp !!! Love it

Ben Brown as a commentator. Early days and learning his craft. Perhaps the new Kelli Underwood. !!!

Judd McVee (hamstring), Jack Viney (ribs), Christian Petracca (ribs), Caleb Windsor (skin infection), Koltyn Tholstrup (bone stress), Luker Kentfield (illness), Jake Melksham (hamstring) and Charlie Spargo (Achilles) 
 Ouch, already a worry !!!
