 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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
