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........

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

  • NON-MFC: Round 14

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt? Follow all the non-Melbourne games here and join the conversation as the ladder continues to take shape.

  • 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.
