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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
