Interesting that they aren't using Casey. The Tracc influence? 

By the way, the surface of Gosch's is looking and feeling great. Plenty of give, and the scuff marks and divots have been worked on (filled over during the men's off-season).

"They’re training at Gosch’s on Monday morning, they leave to attend the camp in Bright the following Monday and at this stage (because of the draft next week) there won’t be any sessions for the remainder of next week."

That seems really odd to me.

I assumed that the info from the Ghost has them travelling after the Nov 18 for their camp. Which could be in Bright and on the way home, perhaps they are dropping into Mansfield, or they are in Mansfield the entire time.

Draught night is Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st. I imagine the new draftees would go camping as well.

Leaves us speculating from the 18th to 25th November about what they are up to.

Perhaps the camp is after the 26th Nov?

According to The Age scribes Oliver "...was in excellent touch and condition, and appears to be motivated to rebound after a turbulent 2024..." 

He looks pretty good in their picture

Oliver returns early to training

Hmm, I might pop in tomorrow (during a bike ride) to see how the boys are going.

Who else is going?
