Training today

[drdrake 3,162]

You have to remember that our main sessions are done at Casey, our preseason was done at Casey and Casey has a MCG size oval with Goal Posts. This week park in the tennis centre walk across Swan Street and have a look at our new oval, as of mid year we will have fantasic facilities.

well since people take what they see on footy classified and make a thread out of it, i'll just take what I saw on footy classified, Lyon's comments, and respond: you are not telling the club anything they don't already know when you say it is a disgrace etc they are working on the problem. End of story.

This thread was started last Friday - not after Footy Classified. Have some respect please.

As for the ground being roped off in the centre during training. Yes of course it was - why should we train at a ground where you can use the corridor?

None of this is anything new guys. This is why we're moving to AAMI Park. It's been recognised by the club for some time now as a huge handicap. It's not a failing of anybody currently associated with the club, judge their performance on providing the FD with quality facilities around July this year once we're in at AAMI Park.

Yeah. If anything, Footy Classified ripped off the OP, the esteemed Mr. frank Rugolo - whoever that is.

Training is about improving skills and there are a range of drills that can be done without having to have pot shots at the sticks.

Totally correct -the Junction oval would only be used to refine skills and furthermore, do drills pertaining to match day.Kicking for goals would be done at Casey at main practice session.

does that mean the tigers will have the worst facilities in the AFL now?

Temporarily. Their HQ is in development and shouldn't be too far behind.

I thought the move to AAMI Park was mostly about the gym and medical facilities (eg recovery post game) while training will be done elsewhere, as AAMI is a small square field with rugby or soccer goal posts.

Am I wrong?

We will train 50m away outside on Gosch's Paddock.

So practically outside at AAMI Park.

Drove down Swan street yesterday, oval is almost ready to go all the fencing has been pulled down, the post have been up but were down for some reason. It is going to be strange when we cant blame our facilities anymore.

Thanks for the vote of confidence chicken.
