 I believe the last FiFA game at AAMI is tomorrow.

Could be a a chance that the MFC teams are back into AAMI and on Gosch's soon.

Maybe a captain's run on Saturday morning!

Sorry, I thought it was a Sunday game, game on Saturday night!

Perhaps a captain's run tomorrow, Friday 9.30 am at Gosch's, or The Junction, or Xavier.

Gosch's, would be best for me!

    As I recall the Beaumaris oval was designated to be exactly MCG dimensions.  Some association with MCC / Vic cricket.  I would love them to train there - nice and close to home.

    My kid played there last week, nice ground

    So they actually did do a Junction session this week? Thought it might have been a rumour! 

    Would have loved to wing on down being in the area. For old times sake.

    No-one on Gosch's this morning. 

    It is a rugby ground at the moment.

    Trying to find “the forward connection”?

    Just realised that they play, Sunday. 

    Good chance they will out on Gosch's tomorrow (Tuesday) at around 11.30 am, for a recovery and review session.

    Then Thursday 9.30 am at Casey, for the main training.

    Maybe a Captain's run, on Saturday morning at Gosch's, 9.30 am.

    You're welcome.

    Helps me get out for those morning walks, via the Yarra and the Botanical. I enjoy that, and the storms young players were having some fullish sims.

    Beautiful day down here in Melbourne. 

     

    I thought, maybe the club has changed up its training routine, as it prepares for a finals assault.

    I will have a sqizz at Gosch's again, Thursday morning.

    They were all over the place, Xavier, Junction and Casey.

    FIFA games are no longer played at AAMI. Last one was on the 8th, I think. I expect/assume that their facilities at AAMI are now available to use.

    And again this highlights our "BASKET CASE" of a search for a permanent home base!

    I reckon we should invite @gOLLy to attend training and give us his insights.

    We could call his report the Good Golly Gosch Goings-on.

    Speculation of training program.

    From the FB page with some photos of being them at Casey for a run today, I would guess that they train again, Saturday morning, Monday morning and the Captain's run Wednesday, at Gosch's for the advertised open training. https://www.melbournefc.com.au/teams/training-times

    AFL Training Sessions

    Open Training
    Wednesday 6 September
    9:00am - 10:30am
    Includes retail, membership, food trucks, face-painting, sponsor giveaways.

    Perhaps at Gosch's Saturday (start 9.00 or 9.30 am), before they head to Boxhill to support the Casey team, (they may do it at Casey though).

    Monday could be their main training, I expect it to be a closed session, out at Casey.

    I saw numerous photos on the club website - but nothing showing Frittata or a moon boot.

    Given that the Pies trained on the "G" today, I expect us to get a run on it tomorrow (Saturday) and not Gosch's.

    Gawn said he's out of the moon boot today.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
