Reading an article yesterday that we will be going on a pre season camp.

Anyone know where the camp is held at and what dates confirmed?

The club has always done Maroochydore but since Covid that has stopped.

    Do they really need to go on a camp?  The male bonding espirit de corps stuff is a worn out cliche in the 21st century.

    They already have to constantly travel between two training venues.

    The Crows and Tigerland song say HI.

    It is the quickest way to break down barriers and help integrate a new group into the team structure and also provide close daily contact for the youngsters with our core playing group via the use of positive team building exercises. Eating Together breakfast, lunch and dinner and spending time together after hours. Rekindling the love for each other after a horrendous fade out two years in a row. The coaches and players can benefit from this type of exercise, like we did in SA & WA in 2021.😁😁

    Mmmmm…lorne 😋

    The Lorne sausage, also known as square sausageor slice, is a traditional Scottish food item made from minced meat, rusk and spices.[1] Although termed a sausage, no casing is used to hold the meat in shape, hence it is usually served as square slices from a formed block. It is a common component of the traditional Scottish breakfast.

    Spot on, DZ. I liken it to one great big slumber party 🎉 🥳 🎊 And who doesn’t love a slumber party?!

    In the same vein, albeit to a much lesser degree, I love interstate matches because it’s a bonding experience like nothing else. We all get early flights so we can spend time together before the match and at the end of the match we hang out together, have dinner, drinks, whatever then mostly sleep together in the same hotel or hotel room or a nearby hotel or even share a bed (I’ve slept with so many members of the DA it’s not funny 🤭). We meet up for brekky then hang out together in groups ‘til our flights home are due. This is as opposed to matches in Vic where we pack up the gear and go our separate ways.

    I'd much rather my first experience of Steven May be in a coach ride to Lorne than on the training track thank you very much.

    I'm not entirely sure to be honest, I presume it's after Christmas?

    When it was at Maroochydore was it at the Maroochydore multi sports complex ?

    I played there in a Masters carnival in October it’s a great facility with six or so ovals with a carpet like surface

    Its humid but so is Brisbane Alice and Darwin and there is warm water surf and golf for recreation 

    no offense to Lorne but I know where I’d be going!

    I think the footy department cap cuts and probably the shorter preseason took care of the interstate training camps. Huge expense to get up there for a week +.
     

    A few days at Lorne can accomplish the team bonding for a fraction of the cost

    Nah. Both are as greasy AF but square sausage tastes much better. You can actually sense your arteries furring up as you eat it.

    Pretty sure it was, on Fisherman's Rd. Was always a great trip to the open sessions. Really miss it. After training and the player meet we would call past the Mooloolaba fish markets to take a seafood feast home. It was a good set up and always got a great crowd.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
