Finals Training.

[mattys123]

I was just looking at the Collingwood site, because I was thinking about heading to training some time this week, and it seems the club may be a little stricter then normal for the Wednesday session, which I guess makes sense.

Anyway, this is the schedule for the rest of this week;

Wednesday 1 September
Please note, Wednesday's training session is a closed session. Anyone viewing the session will be asked to leave.

Friday 3 September
10:30 am (Open) - Gosch's Paddock

All things being equal, looks like the best (and only) bet is the Friday session, so I guess I better start planning to set aside a few hours for Friday morning.

Hopefully we get a big crowd on Friday.

Anyone viewing the session will be asked to leave.

What happens if you say no?

 

[Optimax]

What happens if you say no?

You get left at the mercy of leigh brown

No one wants or survives that

 

[Thommo 42]

Opti beat me to it!

I was going to say that they get the Anvil to stare at you.

How can you 'close a session' on Gosch's Paddock?

 

[Invigoration]

Haha, yeah nobody would want to incur Leroy's wrath.

But seriously, it's public property isn't it? I don't really see how they can force people away from watching. You can hardly have someone arrested for standing around Gosch's Paddock.

I've heard we're training at the G tomorrow. That would explain the closed session

Yeah, i agree, I don't think that there is anything they could do about it.

How can you 'close a session' on Gosch's Paddock?

Generally if the session is listed as "closed" opposition coaches and spies are meant to just stay away. It is an "honour" thing and does not involve high fences and black helicopters.
One of the coaches, Harvey I think it was, got castigated in the media for breaking the unwritten law earlier in the year.

The public are welcome to attend and usually the media have a look but don't report anything much.

'Closed session' at Gosch's?

where is Gsch's paddock? It is the oval next to olympic park?

On Swan St (Yarra Park)

On Swan St (Yarra Park)

It's the main oval just next to the new soccer/rugby stadium (AAMI Park).

The official address would be more likey to be on Punt Road then Swan Street.

Might have to head down there at 10:30 on Friday, I work close by

He'll "**** your shit up" basically.
