    Schwab is a joke...why he is putting his effort into what the jumper looks like is crazy...try increasing the bottom line champ or even better get the club out of that hell hole that is Casey Fields which was the industry joke during trade week!

    Interesting Comment! Care to elaborate?.....

    Surely previous quote wasn't that convoluted...apparently one of the first questions Ball's management asked MFC was regarding Casey scenario and MFC's future plans to develop city based training facility...word is we have invested in a white elephant (Casey alignment) from a players perspective - direct quote from a Player Manager.

    Early signs were from Brock McLean's reluctance to buy-in to Casey logistically, but now the whispers are becoming deafening that players see a training facility 1 hour plus from home ground as unworkable...

    ^ If this is true then this is precisely the problem that MFC players have on the field

    they need to harden the fcuk UP!! Travel one hour to training please

    i know people who fly in and out of melbourne every day for work and don't [censored] like little babies

    about it. Casey is the largest growth corridor in Melb to have a firm base out there

    together with the community programs at grass roots level will mean melbourne will dominate this area of the city.

    whispers are becoming deafening-that's a bit Rich.

    But if it is a major Problem I certainly hope it is the first thing addressed on monday morning when Training Resumes,

    Casey is a Summer Training Base. Where would the players prefer to Train? Paris maybe..

    those that remember the darker navy with blood red yoke will always consider it the smartest and most decisively "Melbourne" of all jumpers.

    St Kilda are moving to Frankston for training , which can be very difficult to get to , depends where you live.

    Once the Monash Freeway is finsihed, driving their will be much easier. I think the Casey issue is more of a red herring.

    So I was down at Casey Field today, and I'm starting to realise why MFC have associated themseles with them. We all know that the last couple of years, and the next couple, are about a new start for the whole club, and the area really is just being built. A billboard in the paddock next door says "Building From The Ground Up" and thats what their doing. They've got these awesome sports facilities there, and their building a community around it. Heaps of housing is going up, and I was talking to a member of the council there today (it was a community kid's fishing day) and their really working hard on improving community by using recreation and sports. MFC could have a massive say in this with a few players involved here and there. Thats why its a good move for us. Working with a community starting from the ground up.

    I think during the season it is only once a week also. Plus we get to train at some very good facilities. Players who are getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars are having a sook about driving around 45 mins. to and from training??? Where's my violin, quick!

    I think Casey was a good move but I'm surprised we're training there in-season.

    Summer? Sure.

    If luke ball wants to play for the most exciting young team in the competition then we will welcome him with open arms, if he doesnt then it is problem, and if any of our players have a problem like brock did then they f off too. i dont give too shits what paul connors and the rest of the player managers think, if player is whinging about a 45 minute car trip then they are prima donnas

    Liking the sharper V, liking the redder red but not into the navy being closer to black. Should be more blue if anything.

    I think by darkening it they need to ensure it's less of a purple and more of a navy blue. At the moment, in the light, the blue looks more like a dark purple.

    I agree!

    Wouldn't it make sense if the players actually started moving into the Casey area? That way they wouldn't need to drive as far.

    If you LOVE Footy and you LOVE the Demons then you would drive ANYWHERE!

    I understand the argument for the collar. But it would make the players a lot easier to tackle in certain circumstances. Won't happen.

    given that Ball manager Connors is only all too familiar with what we are doing..what was he attempting to do...ask questions of himself ?? Totally illogical

    Id invest in an albino elephant..... be worth a bloody fortune !! :lol:

    if that players manager was a certain Liam Pickering id take it with more than a decent dose of scepticism <_<

    I've had chats to Paul Connors at Casey Fields watching the TAC carnival. He manages Watts and Blease, amongst others. He's quite aware of Casey and its attributes.

    However, he may well have asked about training possibilities around Gosch's paddock.

    • 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.

      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

      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.
