    Not this year.

    They will continue with closed training for a fair while so Gosch's paddock is not on the agenda

    So casey and port melbourne mix continues. Makes sense.

    Interesting to note that no players had footy boots on at all. Everyone in sneakers/runners. Is that normal ? Had the surface not settled? I have no idea, just asking the question.

    Interesting pick up, if you go to the end of the gallery there are a few photos of players wearing boots (ANB, Oliver, Pickett).

    Maybe they swapped after a session in runners, or maybe those 3 just forgot aha

    How good does that surface look!  Absolute carpet the lucky buggers!

    I was one who posted a few pages back being highly doubtful that they'd use the facility this season whilst the grass settles.  I cant believe how good its looking.

    Well done to the curator.

    I've thoroughly enjoyed Picket Fence's work covering training for us out at Casey. I'm now hopeful some of our other trackwatchers can return to the fray at Gosch's. The more the merrier.

    They have also added flood lights, hopefully for some night training.

    The nets at the goal ends have been renewed.

    Big compliment given to Demonstone here. As seen by daisycutter using an upper case letter. A very rare occurrence.

    Dr G a comment just because we cannot get in at Casey does not make it a poor training venue. We won a flag from there last season.

    It’s quite excellent now and money will continue to be spent there.

    Of course though I'm sure if you asked the players they would prefer to train across the road from the G instead of in the middle of nowhere at least once or twice a week.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
