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? 00D1ADD7-8388-4F41-8FDF-3F62F3289355.thumb.jpeg.6c4d4ec9e05926e8498d3704da3788e5.jpeg

    nice :)

    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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
