When are they back training at Gosh's paddock? Looking forward to doing a report.

 

I spoke to Christian Salem’s dad last week who said that Christian was training that morning.I didn’t ask where! Big help l know !

On the same topic I also spoke last week when in Melb to Christians Dad while  at their very popular North Rd. Cafe. 

Very encouraging report on Christians health and fitness. Let’s say he is winding back his  effort after a huge start to balance out the pre season. Is well above last 2 pre seasons and back in 2021 territory.

Let’s hope he can return to that as he was very instrumental in our success as part of that superbly tuned backline that kick started our attack. We need that back again to connect down field successfully in 2024. 

 

Good to hear. The cafe is called Northpoint - at the beach end of North Road Brighton.Just been renovated.I believe Christian is a part-owner - with his dad?


Training resumes on Monday, January 15th at Gosch’s.

Coincidentally that’s when my leave finally starts and I’ll start sinking cans like a madman.

was in North Point 2 weeks ago, and dint know

 

It was hard NOT to know in 2021. All through the finals series - and way beyond - the joint was decked out in red and blue.

One of Christian's brothers also has a cafe in Church Street Brighton towards the Nepean Highway end. The premiership cup turned up there one time. The family resemblance is unmistakeable.

This is when training officially starts.

Most of the players have chosen to train privately in the meantime. For example, Fritta caught up with Salo a couple of days ago and they went for an early morning run on the beach.

The players know what they can and can’t do in terms of training because they run everything by the Club beforehand.

They get plenty of holidays for professionals 

Except they don’t. It may seem that they do, but in reality they don’t get much “free” time at all. It just seems that way from the outside. Even in the off-season they’re very often attending charity events, visiting sick children in hospital etc. You’d be very surprised to know how much time is devoted to behind the scenes stuff that they do. Even during their downtime pretty much everything they do has to be approved by the Club. I’ve said it before, the Club owns them.

I’m guessIng Wednesdays will be at Casey, commencing on January 17th. Anything I hear from my all-things-training go-to guy I’ll post on here. 👍🏽

The other cafe is in Bay Street, North Brighton and is called Rock Salt. Very well run place too.

The Salems have sold Rock salt and have got the lease on a new restaurant opening up in the newly built Life saving club at Dendy St beach.Brighton.

Told by Christian’s dad Alex last week.

Opening in a couple of months.

Thanks for the correction. Clearly I don't know Brighton as well as I thought.

The Salem family have sold Rock Salt and it is now under new ownership. A mate went recently and wasn't impressed with the new setup.

Let's see how long it takes for that information to be available on the Clubs website.......perhaps the work experience kids aren't back in school yet?

You mean the SLSC with the temporary fencing that’s taking forever to build?

Yes - l think the initial builder went belly up and they had to find another one

 

Obviously separated at birth.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
