I arrived about 9.30 to have a look at the Casey squad train, and the midfield group was out on the ground already doing walkthroughs with Craig, Royal and Greaves The Casey group was just warming up and then they trained, one noticeable thing, Hogan bouncing around like a caged animal Jack Viney was doing laps under the supervision of one of the fitness staff (see below for more) The main group started to train at 10am sharing the field with the Casey group Main emphasis today seemed to moving the ball, at the end of session both groups joined in this drill type Some points Jack Grimes was off on the other field doing some training including hitting the tackle bag, asked him at the end and he said he will be back in full training next week Jack Viney got thrown off the training track for being out there too long, I spoke to him afterwards and he confirmed that was what happened, he is putting on some serious size and admitted doing heaps of weight training whilst off his feet, told him he would get thrown out of that as well for doing too much, of course said he already had, he reckons he is about 2 weeks away Chip Frawley did the whole session, didn't look inconvenienced at all, asked him why he wasm't playing, said the Physio said no for this week Jordie McKenzie is a week away, hyperextended his elbow, had a strange looking brace on it Joel Macdonald was doing laps, looks a week away as well Jack Trengove said that the last couple of games before the bye were when he felt he was back at full match fiitness after his foot injury, freshened up with the bye and is ready to go Mitch Cliisby is excited to be 'living the dream', wants to just play his role as well as he can Tom Couch left the session early, seemed to have a bit of stiff back or hammy Tried to engage Josh Mahoney in a conversation but seemed to have his Football Manager face on, just hoping for a good showing and a week without a headline in the paper Craig took a few players asisde one on one during the session, saw him speak to Couch, Gillies, at the end of the session he kept back Toumpas, Nathan Jones, Watts and Trengove to have a chat, in the middle of the ground, so couldn't hear a thing I asked a few players about how they felt and they all gave the same answer as Col Garlland in his presser this morning on the Club website Bit shocked at what happened to Neeld All had a good relationship with him (contrary to reports) They have to support the decision and move on Felt partially responsible for what happened Absolutely no idea and are frustrated by why they can't take the training track form onto the field during games Looking now to giving Craig the support and having a real crack to try and prove everybody wrong Any questions I will try and answer
