Sometimes it may not be a virtue either.

March to July = 4 months gone.

How much longer will it take to get an agreement?

How long will it take to build a facility?

How long will MFC get in that new facility before bubbledome is completed?

At some stage, a line will be drawn and someone will say there's no point continuing with this project because there simply isn't enough time available to make it's occupation worthwhile.

is the facility ready to use as is, or does it have to be built?

    well this is it isnt it.. We can go there today.. Any new facilities are cream on the cake. Some folk are getting a bit excited...lol

    I suppose the new facility means a gym of some description.

    The changerooms and playing surface are already first class.

    There is an existing facility there, but it needs to be extended to accomodate MFC footy dept currently based at Junction Oval for the 2009 season. It's only 3 months till pre-season training starts, and clearly it can't be ready by then, even if all buttons were pushed tomorrow.

    It clearly needs to get cracking asap.

    latest from one of the eleven councillors. there will be another meeting on Aug 5 to make a final decision on the Casey venture

    regarding monies to be spent. As of now it can still be rejected, the vote last time was 7 for 3 against and 1 didnt vote. The vote has changed[proberly] to 6 for 5 against.

    It seems public pressure got to one of the councillors.[its an election year]

    when asked about the posspbility of Casey scorpions going it alone if the proposal falls through I was told that they hadnt thought of that possibility at all.

    If I was on the MFC board I would be sounding out Port for a VFA team next year.

    Was your informant a "for" or an "against"?

  • Quote

    No prizes for guessing who the councillor is but the councillor will be voting against.

    I dont know why there has to be another vote, it was explained to me but I still couldnt make head nor tail over it.

    The AUG 5 meeting will be an open meeting so anybody can go.

    Beats me I thought a vote was a vote by the council but I quess I was wrong.

    Party politics are alive in Casey and it could be to the harm of the scorpions.

    Would it be out of the question to revive the Prahran Football Club to VFL status and have an alignment with them playing at Toorak Park?

    We used to have a close relationship with Prahran and Jimmy even played for them in the early days.

    I thought the Casey councillors were in favour of the MFC setting up at Casey Fields? It was only 2 (one a so-called Demons supporter! <_< ) who were against this happening?

    Hopefully Jim Stynes and the MFC board can make a few phone calls and get things back on track?

    It would be very, very disappointing if the plan to move the Demons Summer training base into Casey Fields fell through. :(

    As the August 5th meeting is an "open" one to the general public I encourage all Demons supporters to get down their and make as much noise as possible to make sure the Demons DO move into Casey Fields.

    Hmmmm...if thats the case why bother? Bubble Dome will be ready before Casey Fields and will be far less of a hassle when petrol hits $8.00 per litre.

    The rectangular stadium will take another 21 months or so. Casey Fields is a far simpler project and would take about 4 months from when the button is pushed.

    Not many young kids with young parents living near the Bubble Dome.

    Yeah does anyone have the details? I live somewhat near there and would be interested in going

    6.30 pm at Narre Warren according to their website.

    It's the big joint out the front of Fountain Gate shopping centre, can't miss it.

    Seems Melbourne Football Club got a runs at this week's Council meeting also. The local Berwick News has published an article saying Cr Rob Wilson tried to get Council to defer a decision on the club until after the November elections. His motion was defeated.

    That's a bit rough on the majority of Councillors who strongly support the Dees venture to Casey.

    Wish list for a new alignment with Casey (if it happens) -

    Red and blue predominant colours.

    Play games not clashing with Melbourne's games.

    Melbourne players to have the same numbers at Casey.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
