Apologies if already posted, but we'll be joining the overseas high altitude training club as of next pre-season. Spain and Qatar appear to be the options ... http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/c ... 6075948689 |

If it's Qatar.....maybe theirs a sponsorship deal tied to that. I was there a few weeks ago. I couldn't believe how barren that oil rich country is and it has only a population of 250,000. That's people, not camels. Bring it on Qatar Airlines....Carlton sponsor....I hope so. IIRC they mainly fly out of Melbourne. |

If they let us have the World Cup, we'll let them sponsor our team. I think that's fair. |

I heard Ben Cousins rang Juddy immediately when he heard our players were going to get high at the end of the season |

Qatar? Jay Clark, let me introduce you to Google, this rad new hip search engine all the cool kids are using. See, I type in 'geography of Qatar' and up comes some results, all of which say the highest point in Qatar has an elevation of about 100 m above sea level. So unless we're going to a flat, barren desert, where sex out of wedlock and alcohol is illegal just to see if half our squad can avoid getting a jail sentence for the whole camp, I think you might have your countries wrong*. * - Disregard if there's altitude tents/chambers, but that seems like an expensive jaunt for something that is available at the VIS, the AIS, the Lexus Centre, etc. |

If Qatar are awarded hosts of the Carlton Football Club High Altitude Training Program, the voting process is clearly corrupted and needs to be investigated. |

So I'm tipping that there might be a few of these altitude training facilities (completely air-conditioned of course) lying around.

They're gonna train on the roof...  And it will still have similar long term effects as a couple weeks at the bogan's Camp Propaganda |

Its desert training. Altitude is for wimps. 55deg celsius. 80% humidity. Nothing but salt licks and urine for hydration. And instead of camels being "ships of the desert", our players are going to carry melons for the locals.

Blue Revival wrote: the article states "high performance" not high altitude It mentions we're looking at high-performance bases, but goes onto to talk about the benefits of high-altitude training. Presumably that's why we're looking at such sites. I'd rather have us go use an altitude tent at the AIS than use one in Qatar. |
