I think ewok lives at the coast so he was pretty close. It was about 45 minutes one way for me
I thought he was travelling from the Sunny Coast to the Gold Coast when they were based there which is a long way. I lived for a while in the Sunshine Coast and did the trip regularly between the two and it was generally at least 2 hours each way.
But still 90 minutes return takes a bit out of the day. I donāt think Iāve ever really thanked you guys properly for keeping us informed while we were in lockdown, but it was most appreciated.

Dustin Fletcher 1992 national draft F/S.
Our reports were nothing compared to what you do for us.
It was good to give a little back to blitz after getting years of training reports and VFL reports.
Iām looking forward to a few reserves games in QLD this year. I just hope theyāre at a time when I can go

Itās pretty poor, really. Why should training times be a state secret?

You are absolutely outdoing yourself in the rush for dumbest post of 2020.
There was a kid called Fletcher- you might remember him.
Believe he played a few games.
And there was a forward- Daniwho?, Daniwhere? who may have played a few decent games.

What more could you want? Sure, you canāt feed the family with them. But Iām sure the chest is puffed out a bit further when strutting around the house after a 130 like training report.

I live about 15 minutes from Metricon. The problem for me was the lack of information, and I spent one day driving around for 2 hours looking at the various venues where I thought we would train.
It was only through @aboods having high powered secret contacts that we were able to figure out the where and when of the Gold Coast training schedule.
@loyalandproud did the training reports from the sunny coast.
I think these reports are well received because there is something real in them. Unlike the media reporting of fabricated or exaggerated BS, with these reports we learn about something that really did happen outside the 22 games each year.
I think the solution to the long commute for you nackers is that instead of sponsoring a player Blitz will chip in and buy you an Aldi tent so you can camp at Tulla outside the security fence the night before training.

Well thereās a solution!
But really I donāt want to come across as whinging or anything, I actually quite enjoy driving and donāt find it a problem at all. I knew when I moved out here there would be a lot more driving and I always have things to do in the city so itās not like Iām going straight Tulla and back again.
And youāre right, one of the great things about blitz is getting information and views that havenāt been sanitised and spun by the media or club, just glad I can help contribute.

That would be fantastic if you could, even when we get the training day right we sometimes get there and they have started an hour earlier. In previous years they used to start around 10.00 but this year it seems to be 9.00 or sometimes earlier. Very tricky if we donāt know.
