CC got him to Freo in 2007 as an assistant coach.

Will MFC and Scorpions be affiliated next year then?

I bloody hope they don't have any decent KPP, because I want us to be developing ours playing in the key positions and not in the pockets which we were forced to do with Sautner!!!

    thanks suzanna, im not exactly sure...if anyone knows could they say ASAP?

    this is what it says on the club website:

    Pre Season Training

    MELBOURNEfc started the 2009 pre-season campaign on 13 October. The Junction Oval training schedule for the month of October will consist heavily on indoor strength and condition sessions, with the players only heading outdoors in small groups, for short periods of time to participate in running and agility work. On alternate days, the players will complete running sessions at differing external venues.

    For this reason, melbournefc.com.au will not be posting specific training times until the players begin their main skill sessions in early November.

    Please note: Training times and venues are subject to change without notice

    --so im not sure but maybe casey scorp knows

    Just to note, the East Cranbourne extension announced as a part of the transport plan.

    While plans come and go, I get the feeling this one will happen almost in full and will have elements that get delivered sooner rather than later to foster election support.

    That said I haven't seen a specific date/year around this line extension (only other parts of the plan).

    Yep i saw that too. On page 15 of todays HUN. 2.4 Billion for an extension for Cranbourne and 2 other places. It said that Cranbourne East will be completed in the 'longer term', whatever that means. The two other places had set dates though.

    I hope longer term doesn't mean in 30 years time......

    It said medium term, the thing I read, & the cost is 200 milion, so that would have to be also putting in the second line, you'd think.

    Just when you thought all the news about Casey was good.......it just keeps getting better.

    I don't think I have seen this referred to anywhere else on the site, but last week the State Government announced a new major investigation area for additional growth in Casey to accomomodate extra population for Melbourne. See this map:

    http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/CA256F310024B628...File/3999-2.pdf

    See the word "Cranbourne" and follow a yellow line to the right and down. It stops at the proposed Cranbourne East railway station site. If you continue in that direction and cross a road (grey line) you get to a light grey triangle. That is where Casey Fields is.

    That orange area will accommodate potentially another 100,000 people more than what had previously been proposed.

    Right on the doorstep of Casey Fields!!

    Thanks again.

    well there ya go..its back on the agenda Cranny East that is...surprise surprise !! lol

    Dont desapair that it doesnt have the same urgency attached at present as say South Morang etc...AS next election approaches you can bet ya house that this wil firm up as a WILL build in next 5 years. Too many votes in area not to happen. Will encompass a restucture of that part of line and other things too off topic to list here.

    Also keep in mind though we we al love it to exist today we will be well served stillif it comes into being in say 5 years. Might co incide with more use of the Stadium !!;)

    Slowly all the pieces fall together :)

    Tonight the City of Casey launched its Leisure Facilities Development Plan - an ambitious $93 million program of sporting facilities over the next 15 years.

    While that's probably not significant in itself for Demonlanders, most of whom probably don't live in or near Casey, what is significant is that Dean Bailey and Stefan Martin (a Berwick local) were there as guest interviewees. As well I saw Chris Connolly in the room.

    Clearly MFC is getting more and more involved in the Casey community.

    Other interviewees were Michael Tuck, and Ashleigh Brennan (17 yo Olympic gymnast), who are also Berwick locals.

    Are they ever going to actually sign anything or are we just good friends with Casey as opposed to business partners?

    There has been an agreement to agree, but Casey are still waiting on Melbourne to sign.

    What Melbourne are waiting for, I don't know.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
