Training in Perth

[old dee 23,491]

Are fans allowed to watch training in Perth. I would love a report or two. How are we going to fill next week? At this rate it will be a long 10 day wait.

Both teams are training at the Eagles training ground which according to Adam Simpson is impossible to “close off” so training will be open to anyone who can go. Not me alas !!

Meanwhile, spotted on a scooter heading west on the Nullarbor is someone who looks a lot like this...

According to the following website it will take approximately 211 hours or nearly 9 days without breaks to scooter from Melbourne to Perth. 

He better leave now to make it for the game.

It’s a bold strategy, I’m happy for them to continue with a practice match but would still really hope the players are told to take it easy on tackles, bumps, and spoils (looking at you Jack!). I would also hope that it isn’t going to be full length, give them enough of a run to feel fit and ready but don’t tire them out. 

Really wish we didn’t have this bye.

Ta.

Grammatically, it a funny turn of phrase to say the Demons 'insist they have a plan to be mentally and physically ready' (a line Tim Watson repeats word for word in the clip)

Insist? 

Is someone challenging them on their plan to be mentally and physically ready, or suggesting they don't have one?   

I wonder if the dogs will also 'insist' they have a plan to be ready.

We'll have played 1 competitive game in 4 weeks prior to playing the Granny. that puts us at a disadvantage. If Burgo and the brains trust reckon a full throttle practice game is needed to keep everyone primed and in proper nick then so be it.

They are also training up at Joondalup HBF arena yesterday, so I say they re splitting the venues including going to Optus when allowed.

Lathlain has two ovals, the old home of the Perth Demons is fenced off so can be closed off, the exterior MCG size oval is the one you can’t close.

Yesterdays session footage is from Arena Joondalup

you could equally say 3 games in 4 weeks - 28/8, 10/9, 25/9  = 28 days = 4 weeks

Under the old final 4 system the side that won the 2nd semi only played 2 games in 4weeks. Pretty sure that team won the majority of grand finals

There are two primary species of snakes encountered in the Perth metro area. These are Dugites and Tiger Snakes. Both of these species are DANGEROUSLY VENOMOUS, which means envenomation is potentially fatal without medical assistance.

Great ground Lathlain Park.  The WCE have a Cafe and Balcony area that over looks the oval.  If it is open it would be a great spot to watch training from.

Craig Kelly (the pollie, not the ex-footballer) probably has a cure for that.

If Jack goes at anywhere near 100%, any player who doesn't match it is asking to be injured.

Perhaps our new Perth based members could spare a couple of hours to get along and report in?

Basically nuts, as with most media "analysis". It seems having no game on the weekends before and after preliminary final is supposed to be a disadvantage. So we plan to have a serious practice match a week beforehand (ie right where a match would normally be), and suddenly we are 'risking injury'? Bah!  A pox on all their houses!

I don't think that's fair. I will say I miss his input. Given some of this thread, I don't think I am the only one. Hope he is going well and returns when Gosch's is open to the public again.
