Just read,http://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/music/george-michael-to-tour-australia-but-will-not-be-playing-in-melbourne/story-e6frf9hf-1225803484744 where it states that George Michael will not be playing in Melbourne due to the NAB CUP. Is this something the club in conjunction with Casey Council could provide for all of us?

What do you think?

What do you think?

A George Michael concert for 'all of us?'

I just shivered...

maybe Temel could be the support act, rag dolling 14 year olds and kicking them from everywhere...

I only wish--pick 50 would be great

14 year olds under age-

But seriously don't you think we could hold entertainment acts at Casey. I think it would be ideal.

There are many more venues/grounds around with far better general transport and asociated facilites. Whilst beneficial in some maner to casey its pie in the sky stuff. No harm in thinking..

Always respect yours and other views- Why is it pie in the sky stuff- Buses could run to it, re pick up from Stations etc.. plenty of car space, under lights, may help to raise monies for seating for say 30 thousand, then we could hold NAB cup games continuously there as well as some low attendance matches. Please tell me where in the outer areas of eastern Melbourne close to Gippsland could we hold these type of entertainment. You stated there were more grounds with far better general transport and associated facilities. I challenge you -WHERE?

Why do you have the stipulation 'outer areas of eastern Melbourne close to Gippsland'?

Why don't you challenge bb's assertion by asking WHERE ELSE in Casey Fields we could hold this type of event? :)

Wasnt being flippant.. just matter of fact.. Firstly you have to ask...does teh MFC want to go into this sort of business..much underwriting...not always a given you make squillions.etc. But lets say for the moment we do.

Nearly all larger type concerts are held somewhere where sufficient infrastructure exists. An arguable example to the contrary ( just to help out..lol ) might be Calder...But that is very contained.. Casey isnt really..its quite open.

I would suggest that the validity of needing the venue in the outer east accessible to Gippsland is debatable. Thats very much like the mountian going to Mohomed. Existing venues for larger concerts already exist at .dare I say it..Visy ( but precedent set ) Showgrounds.. .. Caulfield ( RC ) .

You have to consider the demographics of potential audiances to these things. They are going to want a fair amoutn of public transport. Thats still a bone of contention about Casey...hopefull attended to one day with extension to Cranbourne East.

The above mentioned arenas have track records. In the old days it could have been held art Artic Park.

In many ways his is a chicken and the egg thing.. If Casey was already a boutique stadium...with all facilites including transport...then indeed there is much potential for many things.. keep in mind...its not OUR venue.. We cant use these events to build the place...only really the other way around.

How does one get to Calder by public transport, The rest of your points do not add up- these other venues such as Visy park etc.. have major restictions due to a built up area.I ,if I was an entreprenuer would jump at the chance to hold say open air concerts at Casey.Your points whilst valid would not deter me. I may just try it to see.!

I only suggested Calder as an example of different sort of venue..away from the city. its been used for big day out type things. But hey...you spotted the problem straight away.. lack of public transport.. Specialist arrangements are made. This wont happen just for George Michael etc.

Visy, Showgrounds, Caulfield, have all done events before..theres no problem using them...what are these restrictions you speak of ? Sandown is another.. probably a better bet too. Has railway not too far away..lots of parking.. already has all the facilites.

Do your sums carefully ...and check and recheck them. . Suggest you look into the health issues.. Food and beverage licences /permits. Public Liability.. Security...and the list goes on ;).... oh the promoter invariably underwrites the occasion too...hope you have very deep pockets ;)

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
