The official site has listed the Maroochydore Open Training Session as Sunday February 2nd 2020. I assume the Training Camp starts the week prior. Anyone have any official dates for the camp and are any of our Sunshine Coast fans planning on attending open session? We’d of course appreciate any reports.

Maroochydore open training

Date: Sunday, February 2
Start time: 9.30am
Location: Maroochydore Multi-Sports Complex. Fishermans Road, Maroochydore.

 

I don’t know why exactly - but I always enjoy reading the reports and seeing the pics from the Maroochydore Training Camp each year.

It seems always to be a happy and positive time.

 

 

I don’t understand why they just can’t keep it on the Saturday. 

We have had it on Friday, Saturday and now Sunday. 
 

Just leave it on Saturday. Why is it so hard!

Surely the weekend is better than the Friday

That’s true but Sunday is a pain in the [censored] as traffic is generally a lot worse on the highway going back towards Brisbane. 

If it's on the Sunday, it will be the first I've missed since the Maroochydore camp began. Damn it!

Sounds like I'm in the minority but I'm actually glad its a Sunday. Friday is a work/school day and Saturday would stop a lot of kids attending, mine included,, due to Saturday sport commitments. Have missed the last two years due to the open session being on Friday/Saturday so looking mighty forward to it now.

Agree then you can spend rest of day on Sunny Coast with family or if want to beat traffic back to Brisbane go after training. Not much traffic south at that time.

Hi, does anyone know the latest with the timing of the training camp?
I’m in the Sunshine Coast until Saturday 1st February. Love to see the boys train, even if it’s a brief moment or closed session. 

Training session for supporters is on the Sunday 2nd Feb At  Mooroochydore Sports Complex at 9.30 am I think.

Go to our website  "melbournefc.com.au"and check Yherr is s notice from about 7-10 days ago if not ring Club snd AFL details.

Seeing you will miss the open training on Sunday I would keep an eye open on the website for twitter details etc as they normally go to the Maroochy FC every 2nd day so you could pop along as its a big open complex. Also maybe as a tourist go along to Twin Waters where I assume they will be staying as in past and you may catch them wondering around doing their stuff.

Are we expecting a Captaincy announcement after this? Surely they'll do the voting up there, if they haven't already.

Facilities at Maroochydore seem rather primeval, love the corrugated iron and rainforest look. Plently of Johnny Weissmuller types in the wings too! Are the boys able to fraternise with the locals up there? When does Jane make her appearance?

 

 


Not exactly state of the art facilities.

And Adam Tomlinson lifting weights in birkenstocks???

Hmmmm........

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
