Might be a silly question, but seeing as Goschs is a public park, what's stopping him from going for a run there accidentally at the same time as our training sessions?

Insurance for one.  He won't be covered by the AFL's health and indemnity insurance until he's officially allowed to train in December.  That means any injury he sustains if he tries to train with the club prior to that is on Medicare.  I don't doubt that the club has already discussed his fitness program with him for the interim, but he can't do any official work with us until he's on the books.

    I'd imagine even a smallish AFL club could cover any medical bill arising from training out of its own funds.  Surely he just needs to be given written instructions on what training to do elsewhere, memorise it, and then borrow the EFC shredder.

    He's only just recently had surgery again so would think he wouldn't be doing much training now even if he could anyway.

    There is likeable logic in this.

    Will definitely be interesting to see what they have him doing his first day of training with the club. Good to hear he's got a positive attitude, one step at a time.

    Harley’s in town. Currently sitting across from him in the corporate boxes at the basketball. He’s sitting in between May and Jetta.

    Waters all round for those interested.

    Can definitely put that to bed. When not looking at their phones, the two of them have been chatting and laughing the whole game.

    I'm pretty sure Redleg has got them mixed up here. 

    I think someone may have mentioned here that Bennell is staying with May for a few weeks before he starts training with us. On his first day here he was hanging out with May.

    There have been a few Insta stories with May and Bennell hanging out. Pretty sure they are pretty good mates

    Yes I have. That is my second mix up today.

    I guess I shouldn’t be drinking so much on the cruise I am on.

    Good to see we've graduated from training the house down, to straight up burning them down.

    Further to the point, what’s stopping any of US going and training with our favourite football team?

    Drinking seems legit. But you probably shouldn't be Demonlanding so much if you're on a cruise.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
