Firstly, I think this is the 3rd thread I've started today so sorry for bombarding those that are nonplussed!!

Anyway, it was mentioned last week about the lack of publicity that our new training base and home at AAMI Park/Goschs Oval had received. I find that a little bit disappointing to tell the truth considering the many years we have had to wait for a decent 'home base'.

Unfortunately I work long days and may have missed any news reports on this but even still I think we have lacked highlighting this great move. Is everything within the training facility actually completed? Is this a reason for the lack of publicity.

I am taking my son along to the junior clinic tomorrow which is being held at the new training base so hope to get a better look then.

    Various parts of the facility are not yet complete so it's not ready for a full journo/PR tour.

    The incomplete parts would be the more aesthetic or "spiritual" elements like the branding and the historical elements which will give the place the "Home of MFC" kind of feel which are obviously the most important in terms of publicity and media.

    "CHECK OUT THIS CONFERENCE ROOM" doesn't make for much of a headline.

    Your spot on Demon Jack 16 there has been nothing at all about our new home. Hope you and your kids have a great day at the clinic.

    Cheers 13th/Inner Demon....thought it might have to do with it not being quite completed.

    May also tie in with the release of the new emblem? I guess if it is visible within any area of the new facility that they don't want to let anything out of the bag until everything is done.

    Also taking the kids to the junior clinic tomorrow. Should be a good day. I'm hoping they'll pick up some tips. Maybe my kids will learn a thing or two as well ;-)

    Was a great day yesterday run very well by the club.....all players were great with the kids.

    Didn't get close to seeing the new facilities which was a bit disappointing as I had hoped to catch a glimpse. (It has been nice to see Bartram & MacDonald eating breakfast in the new place - cheers C Schwab for the twitter pics!)

    I guess that this ties back with the fact that it is not quite yet ready/completed to show off to everyone. I would imagine the same applies with the actual oval we now use to train on.

    Collingwoods oval is quite obvious as it has all sponsor related signs surrounding the oval.

    Hopefully ours will have the same to highlight and distinguish the place as ours. I am sure it will be done over the off season perhaps?

    But overall am rapt we do have a place to call ours finally!!

    This is from COO Matthew Green's article on AAMI Park up on the website:

    While we have moved in to AAMI Park, the finishing touches to the fit out are still a few weeks away.

    Once these have been finalised, we will be running tours for our supporters, so the new facilities can be seen firsthand. These tours will commence in August.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      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.
