Gosch’s Paddock training ground looking good today on my morning ride. Work continues on landscaping around the perimeter. I wonder how long it takes for the turf to fully bind with the sand base so it’s safe for use?

well in cold weather I'd say about 4-6 weeks to bind.

Jan 2023 I suspect, anything involving government work is always way later than announced.

Still nothing on our future home looks more a ruse very passing day.

…. and way way over budget. 

Goal posts are up! Can't be far off training at Gosch's now.

 

Gary Pert indicated last night that we will be using Gosch's from next week. And also that an announcement on a permanent base is getting very close.

At a club function for the foundation heroes, before the game.

I was fortunate enough to be there, seated at the same table as Brian and Terri-Ann Stynes, Brian gave a very emotional speech about Jimmy, ten years on from his passing away.

Are there any training sessions we can go to yet? Would love to take the kids down over the school holidays.

Excellent news! 🙂👍

The sooner our permanent base is sorted out and scheduled to be built the better!

Time for the Melbourne Demons to finally have a home base for both administration and training.

You're forgetting the long overdue sought after social club that 90% of landers said they desperately wanted and couldn't live without.

Yeh sure, who’s going to hang around a social club, jump in their vehicle, and drink a skinful of grog to make it viable
