Even if there is a change, the Tories won't want to pizz off one of their key constituencies.

Would depend on who is in power, but in all likelihood this is correct.

Probably won’t be named after him, but it’ll be the physical embodiment of PJ’s legacy.

At the very least, i like the sound of a " Peter Jackson Boardroom" or something like that.

If it gets up he deserves a permanent mention somewhere in the building.

Sydney has a novel solution to a training base - put the oval in the middle of the Randwick Race Course!!!

"... the facility will also be used by the Swans NEAFL side, its academy as well as for junior participation".

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-field-to-be-built-in-middle-of-royal-randwick-20180709-p4zqbi.html

The article doesn't say it, I would think the training oval will have the same dimensions as the MCG.  An MCG sized training oval seems to be the solution for i/state teams and teams to whom the MCG isn't their Home ground.

Its no mean feat to find create a training oval in the middle of inner Sydney.  Good on them for being innovative. 

It would be a long commute twice a week to train at Randwick though ?

To paraphrase  the current encumber in Spring Street “not worth the paper it is written on.  Can cancel without any cost to the taxpayer”!

Ethan apparently if you post it in triplicate (ie 3 times for you West Australians) he will believe you. 

 

Any idea when there will be an official announcement.

orrr, the club could launch a new range of smokes? 'pj premiership edition'. all funds raised going to building toilets next to the new training ground so that the players no longer need to defecate in the long grass of gosch's. lol.

I see Chairman Dan, Dear Leader, has promised a truckload of money to once again ( porkbarrel )upgrade Geelongs home stadium to the tune of $102 million...

Has he also made any announcements on some crumbs being thrown our way for our shiny new proposal? It has gone quiet lately. Hoping its still on the boil somehow.

Anyone have news? Maybe @Ethan Tremblay

And Dan is chipping in to upgrade Punt Road: "A $60 million redevelopment of the Punt Road Oval... looks set to be unveiled before the forthcoming state and federal elections". https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/jack-dyer-stand-may-go-in-60m-punt-road-oval-redevelopment-20180907-p502dv.html

Our comparatively miniscule plan seems to have taken a back seat.  Sigh...

 

Re any news - I noted a poster last week was told by the club that we no longer owned nor had anything to do with the Bentleigh club which was quite a surprise.  The last comment by the club was The Bentleigh gaming will cease in August 2022, although Melbourne will continue to operate the club, without the pokies.

Wouldn't mind a Club update for both our standing re the Yarra Park development and our ownership status of Bentleigh Club ownership - it was/is an exceptionally valuable piece of prime real estate

Would be very upset if the classic Richmond stand is demolished.

The remaining part of that ground is completely devoid of character.

What community benefit can you have by spending more money on Punt Rd and Geelong.  Hats off the Collingwood you drive past their facility and the general public are using it.  Even the Goshes paddock the rugby/soccer and our oval people are always using it.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
