I cant put my finger on it ....but something's not quite right.. Reminds me of the 'bait and switch" routine. The more I think the more something smells fishy !

Who moves and why...etc

St Kilda are big winner if they get the Junction oval and leave the swamp. Good for them. Heres where it gets curious. Cricket Vic would take up co tenancy at the Junction. DO they currently have some commercial obligation to the G ? Would hey need some bunny to take over some lease etc Have no idea but Im thinking , forget whats in it for us, who actually benefits ??

Why are St Kilda a big winner?

They get an oval they can't access for 6 months a year. Every club has moved or moved the cricket clubs off there ovals.

 

Have Read the pros and cons, but on balance I think it could be a massive pr winner, The g would truly be our home ground, and new supporters and possibly players could be attracted to that idea. Also, Eddie would hate it.

You remind me of Dermott Brereton, bub.
 

they did in the 60's

not sure about 70's but think so

Moved to the Junction in the early 80s IIRC. Certainly still training at the MCG in 1981.

Rebels have pretty much moved training base out to Optus. Own gym, change rooms and medical facilities.

I count only 3 tenants at AAMI.


Of course MFC should train at the MCG. It's our home ground that has been taken over by interlopers. It is not cricket that brings in the crowds and money to the ground. It's AFL. Melbourne were the original and oldest football club that played on this spot. In order to reed tabling a strong culture, an identity and a home ground advantage all of which we desperately need please let us train there! The blessed turf diesn't have to be perfect! It's football not Wimbledon centre court!

Pretty sad we are the only team without our own custom built training base and elite facilities

even fellow paupers North and the Bulldogs have them.... unbelievable

yep, exactly.

and we need to become a club, once again.

I believe part of the Junction makeover is a refurbishment of that other oval just nearby. The Sainters would always have access to an oval from what Im told.

They get to leave Seaford, has to be a win. Not a slight on the suburb ( used to live there ) but its out in the boonies and none of the players enjoy it.

StKilda going back to StKilda....win win win ..Good luck to them. , they need it that band of self destructing wallies

This would be awesome. We are Melbourne, the whole lot of it.
I love this sh*t. The AFL can try minimise MFC, but we are making some nice inroads with these ideas.

We are really lucky to have PJ, Barlett and Roos, they all play their roles so well, going about their business.

I have no idea what that means....lol

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

  • PODCAST: Gold Coast

    I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
