Will anyone attend to report a bit of track talk?

The next open session is listed for next week according to the MFC website. With a few players reportedly closer to main training, it would be good to get some reports from our track watchers.

    No sign of the boys at Gosch’s... Must be at Casey? Definitely training today though, as referenced in Misson’s injury report re Preuss 

    Spewin!

    Good to see some training in the wet ahead of potentially dewy game in GC

    Nice gallery here:

    That's great @Graeme Yeats' Mullet - thanks

    It's nice to see Kade in action... some rumours on other sites (and this I believe) that TBC on the injury list means he is finished.

    Surely he wouldn't be out there if there was some hope.

    Sorry EO can you point out where Kade is in that photo?  All i can see are 3 posts and a yellow footy flying through mid air!

    Interesting that TM said that there is more room at Casey than Gosch's paddock.  Could that be why we don't do well in the wide open spaces?

    Thanks @Demonland for the video

    Jeffy G looked to be moving OK in the video background, also good to see Mitch Hannan lurking around. JKH moving freely too

    P.S. I don't buy Tom McDonald's lip service "nice to get out to Casey". Looked like a totally shouse day, lucky it wasn't also blowing a gale as per usual

    Interesting in the video to see Tmac running with the defenders. Lever, Petty and Omac.

    My understanding was that Gosch's was approx the same size as the G?  That would seem a good fit to train and utilise / defend on similar space to the G if that is correct surely.  Casey very similar as well...

    Casey  175m x 145m

    MCG  173.6m x 148.4m

    Metricon  161m x 134m

    I think the reasons we are struggling this year especially on the MCG and have been since Goody took over are:

    1a. Fitness
    1b. Game plan
    But 2. a small training oval not at all similar to the MCG would be up there.

    I think they have gone to Casey for the bigger oval and for some greater privacy but it does raise the question about if they should use it more often and also what is the progress on a new training facility.

    Measuring from google maps:

    Goschs' is 155 x 109 and often they cut in to a flank for the rehab group.
    Casey looks more 160 x 134, very similar to Metricon.

    Gosch's just isn't big enough to work on full ground drills that focus on space.

    Interesting DS. 

    I took the Casey dimensions straight off the Casey fields google info.

    If the Gosch's dimensions you quoted are accurate i'm wondering why we are training there at all?  Might also 'partly' explain why we haven't done very well at the G but tend to do better on the skinnier grounds like Marvel, the GABBA and Metricon.

    It would be nice to see in our lifetime OD. 

    In the 48 years ive been following/supporting i've never seen or heard even a mention from any official at the MFC that the concept has even been discussed.

    D'land may well be the only forum it has ever been mentioned as a concept.

    To quote your earlier post... there's always next year i guess.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
