I came on to ask the same question. 

Most clubs are into a regular training program which would involve three main sessions a week. I know Carlton trained today.

They trained at Casey this morning. I wasn’t there but my buddy was, and her text message was short and sweet:

“Went to training today and wow just wow- I have never seen them like this! It was full-on. Serious training no holding back. Only me and 2 other spectators. 
The rehab group were on the back oval- but all were running, moving and kicking  really well as far as I could see. 
The boys are so fit! I can’t wait to see them actually out on the ground.”

Our players train every weekday except for Thursdays. They also train on Saturday mornings.

For those who like it colorful 

There’s also this part…

 

 

… which is not conspicuous at all, but which will likely be publicised closer to the day. It will be at Casey. Starting time yet to be announced. 

[Ghostwriter 4,361]

Hoping to get a good turnout at open training tomorrow at Casey. 

A great opportunity for little Dees (and not so little Dees) to get autographs/selfies with the boys. There’ll be face-painting, handball comps, a coffee van and the pièce de résistance… the Demon Army *Sausage Sizzle! A snag in bread (with or without onions) is the **breakfast of champions and it won’t cost you an arm a leg. Profits go to the purchase of new props, for example we’re gonna need giant heads for some of those young ‘uns who are qualifying for a giant head a-head of time (see what I did there 😁).

So if you’re undecided about attending, please choose to come and get up-close and personal with our awesome players!

 

* Capital ‘S’ in Sausage Sizzle because yes,  it’s that special.

** apologies to Mr Vonnegut.

Dear Ghosty, ordinarily I would have been there, but busy cranking the waves and cranking the fish at Port Fairy, hopefully you will think of me as you turn the snags and feed the multitudes. P.F

I’ll think of you, but not while I’m turning the snags coz I won’t be turning the snags because apparently snags burnt beyond recognition aren’t appetising I’m till-b!ttchh so I’ll think of you while I’m handing our first customer $97 in change for a snag in bread, paid with a $100 note. This happens more often than you’d think. 😭

Enjoy cranking the waves and fish, whatever the hell that means.

Well that's a damn shame.

We're not exactly blessed in the small forward department in the early rounds.

Ordinarily I’d try to find out what’s up but I’m anchored to the DA tent. Hopefully we’ll find out soon from Selwyn’s report.

Is there going to be training next Monday open to the public at Casey?

If it’s a long term injury I’d say that’s a big chance

I noticed Joel Selwood was watching on upstairs with Alan Richardson, I thought that was interesting given reports a couple of months ago we were trying to get him to the club.
