After watching Jordie punch the Shi'ite outta a speed ball on The nude nut's Twitter I was wondering has the little period of success aligned itself with us moving into the new training facilities at AAMI.

I am not sure the date of the move I think it was around end of June.

Anyway since then our results were

Respectable loss to the saints

Smashed the dongers for three quarters

Had a bad start and almost ran over the dockers

Smashed the swannies

Won on the road to the bears

So in the 5-7 week they have been in AAMI there has been a steady growth in performance.

There are loads of other factors that could affect this analysis such as fixture etc which are not related. Also we have been nearly injury free during that period which might associate with better recovery facilities.

Anyway, Since I have a warm belly since we are back in the black, I thought I would post to see if anyone else thinks that the new facilities are making any difference to the team.

The difference in performance in regards to the new facilities could well be attributed to a significant increase in pride, confidence and passion that major positive changes bring.

The club being free of debt would be another of these major positive changes to the club! Watch out Tigers!!

I had been thinking a similar thing though I couldn't have expressed it as well as you have

nothing more to add

From what I understand the weights are almost exactly as heavy at AAMI as they were at Junction.

Very true, but with presumably more space and equipment I've been wondering if it would be possible to quantify the % improvement in the efficiency of weights sessions (ie. less time waiting for equipment means more time under the bar).

Might have to tweet @CamSchwab (like he's got nothing better to do!!)

HAHAHA, my thoughts exactly. quite funny.

Perhaps they meant better machines and equipment. Or perhaps the old 5 kg weights now way a hefty 6.678 kg.

Their own pool meeting rooms, club rooms, computer labs, study rooms etc would surely help create a successful environment.

I don't get it. The question was 'Are the new facilities giving us better results?'

your answer is Jim Stynes? Sorry maybe im just dumb but I don't get what you mean.

That's his reason for our better performance on the field. Jim Stynes.

There have been gains in efficiency and better use of player time ... the players used to spend some time travelling between facilities ... Junction Oval and pools for example.

That would have to help them train better, or at least just make them happier. :wub:

Rivals break a sweat

THEY will never take the field against each other - but three of Melbourne's elite teams have unwittingly found themselves locked into a subtle rivalry. Call it the battle of the AAMI Park gymnasium

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
