I went this morning at 9.30, but couldnt find anywhere to park for the life of me.

I ended up giving up, after I spent 30 minutes looking.

Does anyone have any parking tips when we are at Goschs Paddock

    Park on the other side of the river in Alexandra ave.

    Cost $2 and walk across the bridge.

    Takes 5 minutes if you walk slowly.

    Driving past Bubbledome, then past Gosh's Paddock and through the traffic lights (swan st?)

    Immediately through the lights on your left, is a coin-pay carpark. Literally 75m through the lights, on your left. Or you can park under the bridge for free, but its a 2 hr limit.

    Is this a thread about training or car parking?

    Mitch Clark & Trenners doing repeat sprints. Both look to pull up well apart from Mitch gasping for air. Good signs

    Not surprised he has probably not run out of sight in the past 8 months.

    It is hard to imagine seeing him in the seniors this side of May

    You might be right OD, but if he can take a stationary role at full forward or CHF and lets Dawes do most of the running around that he tends to do, then running fitness shouldn't be too big an issue... he could do those short sharp sprints to take a big mark/spoil a pack; that is, as long as our midfield isn't feeding him too much ball of course :-)

    Hardtack, you do not play in the AFL unless you are 100% right, especially when you are a valuable commodity like Mitch.

    Max Gawn has joined in full training now.

    I thought of a not so funny reply but on reflection I will keep it to myself

    Well if I was an opposition coach i would be saying its game over already. get his opponent to run him into the ground, provide an extra man downfield and he will be slowly starved up forward.

    we have to get him back to full fitness then play him. Unfortuntely a bottom side cannot carry blokes.

    Kinda disagree, I think bottom sides are the only clubs that can afford to carry blokes into fitness. Top sides can't afford to do it, because it could be the difference in winning or losing, or even %. Generally this is less important for clubs down the bottom of the ladder.

    Edit: That is not to say that a bottom club *WOULD* do this, as they could play another player and give them a run.

    We have Dawes, Pedo, Fitzy, Watts (if need be), Sellar.

    We don't need to play a tall forward who isn't 100%.

    Do you guys really think that AFL players are ever 100%?

    They all play games with some niggling problem to manage.

  • Quote

    100% can include a niggle. Well maybe 98%. But we round it up.

    Interesting term 100% billy.

    In my view a player that has done no running for 8 months and has just started doing sprints will not be fully fit for another four months.

    Otherwise why do all players start full training 4 months before the first game.

    On that basis he will not be 100% till at least the end of June.

    I find it hard to believe he will not be played before then if his foot is ok.

    So IMO he will play at less than 100%

    PS of the above only Dawes is even in the same league as a key forward.

    Sellars is probably 70% the player Clark is. With that in mind, it is smarter/safer to play Sellars at 100%, than Clark at 70%.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
