Main sessions for the week are usually behind closed doors at Casey.

The session just prior to game day is indeed the Captain's Run and is a very light session.

Pics on the club site, but only two pics have a ball in them  😀

Is that a Sam Taylor related joke?

Good photos for the Pink Lady Game.

have a look at the one with Petty. Oliver and fritta      All look really comfortable and happy.  Does not look like there is any undercurrent going around the club.

Oliver in particular looks           happy

The house down

Dees must be training off site nothing from Gosh’s or Casey Fields??

They trained at Gosch’s on Sunday morning and at Casey on Wednesday. They’re scheduled to train at Gosch’s tomorrow morning (captain’s run) but as is always the case, that’s subject to change. 

Open training at Gosch’s  tomorrow:

 

Included in “Food vendors” but not named, is the Demon Army BBQ. Please come visit our tent and avail yourselves of the sheer deliciousness that is a sausage lovingly cooked then gently laid upon a warm bed of onion (optional) on a slice of fresh bread aka a snag in bread. 😃

Dammit, I arrive in Melbourne on Tuesday night...  It's a 30% chance I'll make the game, but I'm hoping to at least make the banner prep session with the Demon Army!

I’d save you a snag in bread, DP, but I can’t guarantee its deliciousness after four days in my jacket pocket.

See you at banner! 🤗

Rogue apostrophe 😱

Not expecting a big turn out today but we love surprises, especially in the form of lotsa hungry people.

SEE YOU AT GOSCH’S!!!

❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

Alternatively, such a meal might ensure I'll stay in Melbourne for longer than planned... but definitely not achieve visiting the game 😂

Scheduled training at Gosch’s today was cancelled. I was told this on Saturday night but forgot to post it. My apologies to any DL-ers who made the unnecessary trip. 😢

They changed today’s session to an indoor one, not at AAMI, at another venue the name of which escapes me.

 I was told there’s no open training this week (in Melbourne) and as yet no info on a captain’s run on Saturday in Perth, although I’m pretty sure there’ll be one.

Just a little heads up: the captain’s run always goes ahead and thus far has always commenced at the published time.

But Mondays and/or Tuesdays at Gosch’s are sometimes cancelled at the last minute or the start times are changed.

Best to contact the club beforehand. Or don’t and end up watching a couple of dogs running around the oval or the Victory players training on the adjacent oval.
