Demons eye reunion



Recommended Posts

Congratulations on your first post! I'm totally for re-igniting the MCC/MFC relationship and think it would be great for not only the Clubs' financial situation, but also their identities.

With the strong support of both Casey and the MCC, we may be able to develop a strong supporter base - something which every successful AFL Club needs. This would be great news if it went ahead.

Things starting to happen... Love you Jimma for your passion!!!

Can anyone tell me the reason we split from the MCC in the first place?

From what I remember of the previous discussions, we split to be masters of our own destiny -- previously, we had to get MCC approval for expenditure etc.

This issue has been discussed a fair bit on here and Demonology.

If you're interested, you can use the search function to find old Demonland posts on the topic.

Please please please please let this happen.

If we could tie up this and also Casey I'd be stoked.

I think this would lead to the end of Bubbledome for us as I'm reckoning that the idea would also involve our footy dept back at the G in the soon to be refurbished Southern Stand. The idea involving using the space left by the old change rooms. This would see us back home in a big way which along with Casey would be a giant step forward for the club. Great news and congrats to all involved if they can pull it off.

the thing is, we wont be able to train on the G

so i dont see the point of having change room 2km away from where we will train

i know its our ground and all but we still link ties with the MCC and have all of our facilities/footy department/change rooms and a place to train over at the olympic park precinct

I must say reading the article at breakfast yesterday, sure put a "spring" in my step for the day. :)

A reunion looks positive. It must remain positive. We were born out of a ground, not a suburb. There is truth to that.

That's a good point but if the MFC and MCC become one again then we will be saving around $500,000 a year by not using Bubbledome. (This is the reported yearly cost to the club of this stadium) Not to mention why have 3 homes as such a small club.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
