Good idea but would probably scare the horses!

    Bloody hell. I just read 26 pages on my Saturday to catch up on all of this as I'd stayed away since April, and the ending (non-closure on this) is as unsatisfying as the end of The Sopranos. 

    The Sopranos ended perfectly.

    Agree it looks like Gosch's...  

    Has anyone ever mentioned Caulfield Racecourse as a possibility? In our "heartland", half way between the 'G and Casey and stacks of land in the middle of the racecourse to build a carpark, elite facilities and an MCG sized oval. 

    Could serve as another base for MCC sides, and we know the Melbourne Racing Club is based there..."Team Melbourne" mark II?

    I believe this idea was discussed back when Joseph Gutnick was president. Why it didn’t go ahead, I’ve no idea.

    It’s a public park isn’t it? Not that the racing people want you to know that.

    Maybe too realistic and practical? Better to hold out hope of being allowed to move back to the 'G...

    Interesting. Trying to build stuff in public parks is our go!

    The Yarra Park proposal was always going to be problematic, and a compromise particularly for Office and Admin space.

    I don't understand why we have not been mentioned in association with the Caulfield racecourse development.....

    https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/guy-first-out-of-barriers-with-pledge-to-open-up-caulfield-racecourse-20181007-p5089l.html

    More space, no limitations on use, community involvement, part of the Demons heartland....

    And it could make ProDee doubly happy if his mob get up. 

    I posted this last November.....(Sadly for ProDee they didn't get up, but back to the point).......this surely would be a great solution given the lack of limitations for space at other locations, but MFC hasn't been mentioned in any articles about Caulfield.

    Maybe this has gone nowhere given the state election result?

    Hopefully we have at least spoken to the relevant stakeholders. I see that the racecourse itself is being redeveloped but not sure if that includes the public land in the middle.

    I wonder why we never considered approaching a well located Junior Club with a proposal to house their facilities in a new purpose built complex with community facilities. Training time clashes would not be of any concern as long gone are the days of afternoon training We would not use the ground for matches so no problems there. it also puts us well on the way to being a community hub

    They try to make it appear that you’re not able to freely come and go, but clearly you are.

    I walk my dog there - it's awesome. Open from 9am to sunset every day (except on race days).

    A massive area that is all an off lead area plus it has the lake for him to have a swim and to chase some ducks.

    It’s awesome, I loved in Malvern for a few years and would always use it.

    There's something about a mature, established suburb that you just don't find in newer, trendier urban developments.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
