The impression I got from GB's B&F speech was that they were close to securing an alternative site, not in Yarra Park. This isn't based on anything just what I read between the lines in the speech

God knows where I look forward to seeing the location.

    This is one of the last, and most critical, pieces in the puzzle to becoming an elite high-performing operation.

    I look at what Cricket Victoria have done with Junction Oval - and I know that there's always politics and timing that get in the way of these things - but wow, what a missed opportunity that was!

    Even the bloody Saints are now getting their act together back in Moorabbin!

    Cricket got a very big donation from the Vic government to fix the junction. The Saints wanted to go back there but did not get the nod from the pollies. Anyway time will tell I guess.

    Going back to junction oval, would have been no good,  would have to have shared it with cricket, they use to have no goal post on the ground in preseason training, don't know the size of ground. We need a training base that is the same size as the MCG, I think the biggest reason the eagles won the flag is because of the training ground, they have a MCG size ground to train on, they have been no good on the MCG for 10 year,  there is no coincidence why they've all of a sudden become good on the MCG.

    ...and they shut access to the place down for a couple of weeks at Grand Prix time.  i.e just before the season starts.

    Can I recall there being a rough plan to build admin facilities on the existing Gosch's/AAMI park precinct?

    Correct Steve. It was talked about and then nothing more.

    Yes it's all been said before - but not a sod has been turned.

    More importantly, for members and supporters, what about a centrally located social club?

    Works beautifully for the toiges.

    PJ on the DL podcast said the offices will be over the rail track. Of course he seemed pretty confident it would get over the line (paraphrasing) that it would have amenities and value to Yarra Park.

    It seems that the East Melbourne Group has been campaigning against it. Pretty powerful lobby when they mobilise! Perhaps some Demonlanders should run for their committee? ?

    I wonder if anyone knows anyone in the group. Everyone has a skeleton or two in the closet. I’m not saying we should blackmail them, but we should blackmail them.

    Have you ever been invited to the Toigs social club?

    It is anything but social. What a depressing place!

    It is presided over by a NIMBY (who professes to be a Melbourne supporter but isn’t)! He is too [censored] to have skeletons! I used to be on Committee but am no longer but happy to form part of a group to stand and unseat them!

    This is THE Key... Bbo.  for growing the clubs support base. 

    We do not want to be a 'Niche' club...  We have to compete with the Toiges, & the Pies; who set up camp in our own family-room. front of house.

    So let's not tuck ourselves away, in some leafy cul-de-sac... away from the mainstream pedestrian thoroughfare.

    Passing trade is the name of any game.

    Interesting to see the Yarra Park proposal emerging in this morning’s paper as an election issue with the East Melbourne Group letterboxing 4000 households in Melbourne and Richmond to vote Liberal/Greens as the ALP hasn’t come out in opposition like the other two parties! ?

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
