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.

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
