A boutique ground at Casey - the vision

Featured Replies

my information came from a casey councillor , face to face, one on one. so you can take that any way you like,also not all councillors are in favour of the motion to spend that money on an elite sport and will vote against the motion when it comes up.

Fortunately local government seems to work on majority rules. So, if the majority supports the MFC proposal, it will get up. My sources tell me MFC's got the support of the majority.

 

So I guess this whole moving to Casey thing is the MFC's way of saying to the MCC "Thanks for nothing"?

Honestly, i really can't wait to get the club involved in Casey.

I think for too long we have lost out by not having a location, and it has hurt our club dearly.

Look at the Western Bulldogs, always regarded a poor club, has just unveiled a new $25mil facility because of their intrinsic links to the community. The western bulldogs ARE the region. Every weekly bulletin in the Mail, the local paper, carries stories of the Dogs and often front page ones at that.

Our membership is low, i believe, because there is no conglomeration of Melbourne supporters. We are spread far and wide and i think this has hurt us in becomming a force in the Membership stakes.

I'd love to see us attack the Casey idea, hopefully backed by some good onfield performaces, because i think it will benefit our club immensely long term and hopefully it will snowball back into the Melbourne district.

How?

We might play 1 or 2 home games a year away from the MCG. So what? We already sell games interstate as it is.

We don't train at the 'G.

Can't see how it changes our MCC relationship in the slightest.

As an afterthought, Casey Scorp might have more knowledge of this, but would it be a good idea if the dees bought a pub near the area as well? If its such a growing area, you always need a good pub.

Doesn't have to be as Melbourne focussed as the Leighoak, but could be a place to watch us play, join supporters together etc.

Also, maybe we should set up a supporters group down there so people can jump on board

Majority rules in favour of MFC!!

Democracy at work!!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
