Could someone also do a report on the food available at or near the venue and on the amenities for spectators and players please?

A green shed just as you turn onto Goschs from AAMI park, which seats or stands 4 (depending on your preference) in separate cubicles, they have been immaculately cleaned during the Asian Cup, usually they smell like a Turkish wrestlers jockstrap (please don't ask me to explain how I know), then it is a 100 metre walk to watch the training, if you haven't gone and you need to go, either walk back or use one of the large wooden things (known locally as trees) and crouch down behind it

As for food, doubt whether Edwins which is at AAMI Park will be open, if it is you can get a boiling hot coffee there (Barista only knows one way) and some overpriced food, if not, on Ozzie day there are usually a good selection of cafes open on Swan St, recommend the Blueberry or the one attached to the bookshop, can't remember the name, others are full of those crop haired, bearded, short jeaned, plimsole wearing tryhards and their blonde bimbettes in denim shorts, all trying to out-pseud each other....unless that's your thing of course

The players, apart from Cross and Grimes, do not eat during training, bananas of course, if you want to please the players bring a bag of 'snakes' and hand them out at the end,

My uncle had a farm at Waverley, he sold it to the VFL for some of Waverley park, his driveway Cypresses are still there. He thought he'd move away from the encroaching city so he moved to the Clyde just out of Cranbourne and ran a dairy farm, you guessed it his property is now Casey fields.

Edit: I just looked at satellite images and the dairy and farmhouse are still there. The cows grazed over the rail line, no room for cows now, although some may argue there are still a few left.

Can he sell us back the MCG or at least give us a long lease?

Nothing like the smell of a Turkish jock strap while watching the boys train.

Couldn't agree more.

Goanna oil doesn't do it for me these days.

Don't know much about Turkish wrestlers but thanks to that classic movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, I am aware of potential issues with Kazakh wrestlers' jockstraps -

Not sure if these guys even wore jockstraps. Kazakhstan is a very poor country you know. They might not be able to afford them.

Saty's here already, looking sharp. You can tell he's hardly missed a session this pre season.

Has he done any 3km time trials on his scooter, yet?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
