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!

there you go.... perhaps I have missed your humour?!? I'm easing myself into some 24 degree weather with some beers in a spa up here in SEQ... :)84310773_ScreenShot2019-05-08at5_19_32pm.png.4e0ea62f99f7cb259a5513c8523f949c.png

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?

Kade, get your [censored] to Casey!!

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.

A favourite part of Australia for me enjoy EO.  Ty for the pic but I still can't see Kade....just 3 skinny sticks...oh hang on wait...yes i see him now!

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.

In fact it is well and truely past time, forget this at the G crap and get a good home.

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: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
