Winning formula for a hot date - start with a Hock.Lime & Lemon aperitif, Cold Duck or Blue Nun for main course and finish with a Blackberry Nip for dessert. Worked every time

Ports new pirates initiative to targe 2-6 year old looks like a winner. Each week the kiddies head to treasure island with captains Paddy and Gus and search for hidden Peptides.
I know the Dubai thing has been debated in a couple of threads......
You can't take everything that is available at the world class facilities an plonk it in Kakadu or Katherine or somewhere equally hot and inhospitable.
Where in Australia is there a cryo chamber that gets you to -110 deg? These training facilities are set up for the European football team to train and are purpose built for elite sports. The mental edge alone that you trained and prepared at world's best facilities is worth it.
Cost-benefit analysis might fail from an accounting perspective. But to incrementally improve from top 4 to best in the league is harder to achieve than finishing 12th to making the 8.
The Power is training for the first time at the exclusive Nad Al Sheda Sports Complex, with Burgess describing the grass and the surface as being “as good as anything I’ve seen’’.
“The running track is IAAF standard, the swimming pool is outstanding, there is a cryo chamber, underwater treadmills and the gym is 1500 square metres, so everything you could possibly want is here,” Burgess said.
Jonas described the facility as “blowing the minds of myself and others’’.

I read somewhere that Burgess has contacts over there from his time with Liverpool and we got a discounted rate as well. Also the players fund part of the trip, I think they paid their airfares last time.

That he does, but then so does our fitness guy from his time with the ARU. Basically we thought the cost was greater than the benefits. Walsh has come in and wants us to look at it next year and with the prize from that film festival thing I have no doubt we will be somewhere next off season.
Burgess's experience working there certainly put it on the radar. Contacts always come in handy.
If it was simply heat training a camp in Kakadu or Katherine this time of year would kill Dubai.
It's the elite level facilities and the isolation away from a familiar environment that puts this a step above a regular training camp.
Apparently it's an "invite only" facility so Burgess definitely would played a massive part in getting us in there, in reality it could be a once in a lifetime opportunity for the players.

So why have the Hawks, Cats & Swans not trained there... yet still won a flag.
Pies have arguably spent most on these type of adventures - for what?
As someone with an Accounting background, I would want to see a cost - benefit analysis, which is outcome based
