    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.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.
