    In regards to training at the G, did anybody else see the TV news this week that had shots of the Vic cricket team?

    Not only were they training on the G but they were kicking footies.

    How come! Dont they play with a little red thing?

    If they can kick footies on the G why cant we?

    Good point Dennis. :D

    Because they can kick footies incognito. No-one watches state cricket at the G, let alone training, so no damage done! Of course we, the MCC, open the gates during matches, but nobody comes, and that's the way we like it. We don't want anyone messing with the hallowed turf and that includes looking at it. You have no idea how much damage a child can do if he or she happens onto that ground. Listen, we are one of the few grand stadia in the world to have real grass and nobody, but nobody is going to put a foot on it. Besides it is so peaceful gazing across the vacant hallowed turf with a glass of fine wine........ what was that Eddie?

    They are terribly precious at the G. A few years ago I was helping to decorate the rooms for a function, and my daughter and her friend (both 'tweenies' at the time) jogged down the race, pretending to be footy players. They ran out on the ground with their imaginary ball, and kicked an imaginary goal, then jogged back in to the rooms. Shortly afterwards, security came rushing in as if someone had a bomb, and grilled them and me as to what they were doing and threatened to kick us out if anyone had the cheek to put a sneakered foot onto the grass again. So two little girls are dangerous to the hallowed turf, but a bunch of cricket players aren't. Ah, the logic of the MCC - you've got to love it!

    Since the Casey council is being sued by its residents re the gas issue, one hopes there is a plan B if the casey project goes belly up if the council loses. There may be insurance held by the council for such matters but the next policy may force the council to tighten its belt and not invest in casey fields etc. This is only hypothetical but should be a concern for the MFC board .

    The funds for the project have been allocated in the 08/09 budget - the Council money is there.

    AT THE MOMENT, AND DESPITE SOME COUNCILLORS HAVING TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO REDIRECT IT.

    However it requires MFC to reach agreement with the Council. If MFC doesn't sign an agreement with the current Council before the election it may well become a very different situation if the opponents of the project get re-elected to Council.

    Then MFC will need plan B.

    not doubting your knowledge but allocations can be changed, just concerned about dealing with councils (just look at St Kilda with Kingston) who have other issues like elections(as you say) and tight budgets

    but allocations can be changed

    You are right that allocations can be changed, but the money was allocated in two parts (in June and August) and could well have been spent by now on the MFC project if agreement had been reached with the Council.

    My point is that the longer it takes to reach agreement, and irrevocable commitments entered into (ie a contract to build the extension), the more chance there is of the funds being taken away and reallocated (whether that be because of a changing political landscape or because of other, unrelated, financial imperatives).

    I think we're in agreement.

    Of course there is insurance.

    What is more relevant to the MFC is that contracts should be signed ASAP (if they haven't been already), then the council can't change its position. If the MFC is serious about coming to Casey, they need take some responsibility for their destiny and ensure that it happens.

    According to my scourse agreement has been reached on the banner sponser, also Pets Paradise is set to go again [cheer squad] I think.

    Both these were local firms [Casey], its good to see a beginning of local involvement.

    Also I believe a club shop is to be opened there.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
