there have been no open training sessions this year due to covid practices

the sessions reported here on demonland have been by members standing outside the wire fence

training seems to be mon, wed and friday starting around 9am and generally at casey fields

training times are not advertised by club

no training at all on goschs as it is being redeveloped (made bigger)

sorry for the bad news

8pm on Saturday 26 March at Metricon is probably the closest thing we'll get to an open training session for a while.

Thanks all. I appreciate the trouble. Shame but thats’s the time we are all living in. Never mind, go DEES 2022!!

I find it totally amazing that crowds are welcome at Casey Fields for the womens series, but gates are locked and I cannot get into Casey Fields to watch training, having to obtain a second hand view from outside the fence. I'm often the ONLY person there. Also you see contractors working inside the ground at these times as well. I'm triple vacced and wear a mask. Staggering really!

To be honest I think COVID has been a good excuse to keep prying eyes, whether friend or foe (or foe from reading friends online reports), away from the training track.

I'm not sure what the situation is with other clubs and training venues.

What kind of view are we talking from outside the fence picket?

Any view is better than nothing, but it would be beneficial to sit at a better vantage piont say elevated seats ground level dressing room side

I can’t get over the fact that you of all people are stuck behind a fence.

Completely agree Picket, I went down last week and sat on top of my car so i could get a decent view. This Saturday I'll go to the same venue for the AFLW and be allowed in as normal. Surely they could have a ropped off area to let the handful of track watchers in to watch training.
