They're a strange lot in those outer eastern suburbs. I remember there was a ground up that way that had a tree on the half forward line with the fence straddling around it. Somewhere near Olinda if anyone who lives out that way can confirm.

you should try the queenstown oval in tassie, jack

made of crushed gravel


Should name it Chris Dawes

Theres a ground at Olinda with a serious slant. Outlook has a beauty to

How pathetic can a city council become??

I mean really...

These lazy stupids sods charge $1,000's per year in rates

To waste our time and put restrictions on what we can do

Some of these fat cats earn a CEO wage by being on a coucil...

Except footballs can get lodged in trees and not fall to ground.

Don't be rude/mean, that tree can take a mark with its limbs.

it's certainly an improvement on a witches hat, tsfka. maybe we should draft a tree or three?

I do expect Dawesy to blossom come September - in time for our pre season


Interesting council on sports. Prefer Knox next door. Football in the Eastern Suburbs used to account for roughly 60%+ of all players playing the code in Victoria at one point, not sure of the stat nowadays.

Some pretty big footy clubs and sausage factories ( from Auskick ,underage groups and seniors) often responsible for recreational activities for 300+ players per club, plus girlfriends, wives, parents and supporters.

Sporting clubs cover the length and breadth of society, often provide outlets for disadvantaged kids and broken families . Generally very solid social citizens often massively overlooked by councils and their funding whilst the clubs pick up a fair bit of the social responsibility for them on weekends. So pretty good look from a tuned in council. Take a bow.

By the time the tree has played 50 games it wil be big, strong and dominating in the air. Just needs to build experience.

Loved the comment on the website

"In Sydney they plant Dynabolts. At least in Victoria we plant trees......"

LOL

Touted in the seedling leagues as being an absolute gum.


Knox council spent $10,000 bucks on staff meals and accomodation to discuss ways that the concil can save rate payers money……ironic. I have to go my tax payer funded push bike has just arrived.

Amateurs , need advice from the Feds.

Beat me to the punch Song.

Ironically the same thing Chris says to his opponent every week.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
