Isn’t he employed by the MFC

I'd assume no one from the public would be allowed to attend but it is on public land so as long as people maintain social distancing we will gladly accept any training reports.

Must say that was what I was thinking but tbh not sure that hanging around in a park is even allowed these days. So many rules in so many States and countries it's impossible to keep up with the finer nuances.

The rule is that clubs cannot share any indoor facilities. I would assume this means only one of MFC, Storm or Victory can use AAMI facilities.

Also, would a group of 10 (which includes FD staff) mean at any one training location? That prevents backs at one end of Goschs, mids in the centre and forward at the other end. May have to separate off to different locations.

This is probably why Andrews said it wasn't effective immediately, as they have to nut it out on a case by case basis

I'd imagine they'll be training at Casey for the next few weeks so as to limit contact with the general public. 

Have to say I have some level of excitement at this news. my life is so dull at the moment, I'd tune in to watch them train!

even if they are fairly meaningless games, I'll be tuning in for some entertainment

 

there's a bit of confusion over the ten player limit.

My understanding is that the Victorian protocol for professional teams allows for the full team (Community teams are limited to ten)

OTOH other states such as WA are limiting numbers to ten

so,,,,,, who knows

Indeed, still a bit to play out here. Apart from different group limits in each state, the issue is also around players in WA and SA who have returned from interstate and are still in a quarantine period. 
In any case, there will be a uniform AFL policy for all 18 clubs to follow until everything’s eventually aligned between state jurisdictions. 
It was mentioned on Classified tonight there will be an announcement on this tomorrow.

I walked down to Goschs, bit too dark to see, passed a couple of blokes on Victoria street who were practicing shooting though

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Petracca has not slacked off too much from his preseason.

You would have to imagine that when full training resumes the club would be using Casey as the primary training base. May not have the same access to facilities, plus it's a decent distance from the city but it would be the best opportunity for the club to have a controlled environment.

Fritzel looks like one of the stars from Harry Potter.

 

Grow some facial hair Fritta.   A 'stache',  or a demonic Go-Tee.    You still look like an under 19.

 

Tracca actually looks more like a man,  with his do.

Well,  his lower arms look trim,  too trim.

 

But he does appear to be putin in,  the fitness work.   Lets all hope that translates into more endurance,  and more running both ways.

No wonder he is such a great leader. Can do infinite military lifts.

  • 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.
