Was hoping that someone could enlighten us as to when we will be opening our Admin offices at AAMI Park? We all know that it is open now and I presume our arrival is imminent. Hoping someone has an exact date.

Also when will we hold our first training session on Gosch's Paddock? I presume we have to wait for Collingwood to move off it? Or are we getting the 'oval' alongside Gosch's? The one without any goal posts up?

As a side note I had the pleasure of training/playing on Gosch's paddock on Saturday morning. What a fantastic surface. I have never trained/played on anything like it. Super short grass, firm but has give, always a little 'wet' (moist is more apt)was a great surface. Was interesting to see also the markings The Pies have marked out on the ground. Inside their 50's they have, presumambly zone boxes drwn out. Two lots of three. I am guessing this is used for kick ins and also zones. Also of note was a centre circle marking in the forward pocket at the south yarra end. This showed me the importance of bounces that take place at this part of teh ground. I am guessing that all clubs have set plays from these situations these days.

Finally, are we having a welcoming party at AAMI or anything similiar and will we have the MFC logo placed somewhere outside the ground to further consolidate our brand????

One would imagine so.

There is a fair bit still to do in readying the complex for the Clubs to move in. Obviously the priority for the development was getting it ready as a live event venue, fitting out the facilities, office space, training areas, change rooms, etc would be secondary.

Balls - we are getting the new oval that is next to the Pies (until they get their new oval), this is the one with the two large nets already up. One would assume we would start training there in early July (to tie in with us moving in to the complex).

The ironic thing is that the guttering system is supposed to be one of the major features of the design.

it's a syphonic drainage system using flusher tanks so the water is effectively sucked off the roof and then stored in tanks beneath the stadium for reuse.

No idea how they managed to make such a mess of it.

Hey - I went to uni with a guy that dropped out & made over a million through that insulation business.

I always thought he'd end up a convicted drug dealer...

My understanding is they knew that it wasnt going to be finished, but rolled the dice with the weather. Generally not a bad bet with Melbourne's lack of rain, they just got very unlucky.

I think we move in during the mid season break, and all training, gym, medical facilities will be based there. Casey very much a secondary option thankfully

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
