    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
