    Surely we'd be able to pick up @old dee as a Cat B rookie?

    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

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

    Who else is going?

     

    I will be attending some of the training tomorrow.

    No Casey training so far. 

    I wonder if it was ditched (or used only when necessary) as part of the FD review and player feedback.

    It was reported on Demonland that they are upgrading/working on the surface at Casey field.

    Yeah I can't imagine they'll be ditching Casey anytime soon for training.

    Not so long ago they were trumpeting their brand spanking new indoor training facilities.

    I'm sure I read somewhere that Casey has been unavailable due to resurfacing or some other type of work being carried out on the ground.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
