TRAINING: Tuesday 7th April 2026

Featured Replies

I’ve just been told training times have changed. Instead of the scheduled 12:30pm start, they’re starting at 3:30pm, if training here at all (nothing’s set in stone for today).

I’m here now and while I’m keen I’m not certifiably insane. Even @Roost it far wouldn’t expect me to wait here for over three hours, right Big Rooster?!

Yes, apparently Jack Steele was running laps earlier at Gosch's as he has another engagement this afternoon. If it wasn't for Steeley we wouldn't have known. Another punter said he called the club this morning and confirmed that training was on - we need to do a bit better.

Lucky I didn’t plan my day around it and take the kids during school holidays. Poor form

Yeah it wasn’t fun telling parents with their kids that they’d turned up for nothing.

But things can change and sometimes it can’t be helped. It’s the lack of communication that makes me angry. It would take a couple of minutes to update the site.

Hi Ghosty,

Can you find out about Fritta’s foot injury please?

I might have a recording of the disappointment among the fans, if Tom wants it.

I can’t say anything, Dingo, other than it’s a week-to-week proposition.

Thanks but l don’t like the sound of that.

Over and out

part of the challenge of the disconnect between football, football admin, and admin being in separate locations i suspect

the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing unless there is very specific and ascribed internal comms

Every week we sit down and watch players being savagely tripped and kicked deliberately with no retribution of, or, for that matter, recognition of interference.

Are we looking at a similar story to the damage now surfacing of players suffering permanent damage/injury due to the sneaky,non existent push into uncontrolled collision rule.

Both are often ending in concussion.

This is an outrage, sending thousands of kiddies bawling, scattering from Casey to Melbourne, no excuses accepted this time.

Not even if the admin. were on a important training course, on how to use the photocopier.

Web sites of course can be updated remotely, where they sit is irrelevant.

That would be rough as guts ☹️


The boys did indeed wander over at 3.30 pm today.

The only absentees were Steele (who had done his running earlier in the day) and MacAdam.

Rehabbers: first over Cross, Bowey and CJ working together - Paddy lots of running (just the thumb injury). Same for CJ, less so for Bowser.

Viney went off with a trainer and did some work on the Anderson St hill - bumped into him on the way home.

Fritsch in runners only - did some gentle kicking with a trainer but left early - would not expect him to play this week.

Others that joined the gentle work White, Rivers and Campbell all seemed unimpaired.

I'd have laughed at this twice if I was allowed.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
