I probably ask this question every year, but does anyone know when the club will resume full training after the Xmas/New Years break, next year?

I want to catch at least one session at Gosch’s with my son, if I’m in any condition to make the trip down from Sydney; unfortunately there’s no way we can get to Casey, so sessions there are out of the question.

Thanks in advance!

Reckon you’d be looking at 11 November for the 1st to 4 year players and 25 November for the balance.

You’d imagine there will be a stack of senior players making early appearances for obvious reasons.

Thanks BBP!

However and apologies, I should have been clearer, as I’m thinking of next year after they return from the Xmas/new year break. I’ll amend my original post.

Check the MFC website.

Sometimes they post only the next sessions and sometimes will post a few weeks in a row.

I find they get a routine going that you can predict where they will train.

I know some track watchers will ring the club and ask them. 

They have family days with training and entertainment, usually during school holidays. These are best for engaging the youngsters. 

Last season they began post chrissy, Monday, January 15th and posted the times soon after.

Unfortunately not, I work full time and I just can’t get to training, sadly. I should be able to do January training, though, since I’ll be in school hols.

Thanks @kev martin, that’s very helpful.

I’d hate to get down there only to find they were at Casey… because we’ll be flying down on hard earned frequent flyer points I suspect we will therefore need to book a fair way in advance, something that only adds to the degree of difficulty.

I don't think they have such things at Casey. pf's reports seem to be always from the outside fence while watching for Joe blakes!

He originally asked when they commenced training.

But he went on  to elaborate he was coming down from Sydney in the NewYear and his heading 2025. Training says it all. 
I rest my case BBP.

While we await the start of training, this has just popped up on the Club's website.

It's sort of relevant, inasmuch as it's an indicator of some of things that training creates, as they manifested in 2024.

Maybe some surprises herein; some discussion may result, too!

(p.s. The cynic in me raises its 'Why now?' eyebrow at the timing of this 'feel good' story!)

Very good results for Chandler  Sparrow and especially Tholstrup in his first year. Expected for Lingers and the Adelaide player.

Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
