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! ?

This puts out resident Tories in quite the bind doesn't it?

The ironing is delicious.

Labor is hopeless, the Greens are insane, and the Liberals are pathetic. 

Great choices.

They aren’t putting one up in Richmond but the Greens are standing in both! Both the Liberals and the Greens have declared themselves against the MFC proposal!

so if the greens beat labor, that will just be more incentive to dan to make it happen?

Yep, Libs aren’t even bothering to run dead in Richmond.

 

They want Greens to topple Labor here and don’t want to divert any votes away from them.

 

Greens are a strong chance in Richmond too. Labor are appropriately nervous about this one.

not at all. currently labor seem to be sympathetic. if they stay in power the odds shorten in our favour. richmond council or any other local authority don't have any definitive say in the decision

Not positive that Labor is necessarily supportive. They have merely avoided Speaking out in opposition  (preferring to refer it to VCAT and MCC and “due process”)! It’s nothing to do with Richmond (except the East Melbourne Group are hoping that the Greens get elected as they are likely to oppose anything no matter how what the merit)!

it might all be nothing but wishful thinking, but, i get the impression the mfc has got some political support in the right places, guess we will know which way it is going one way or the other in maybe 3-6 months?

There was a heated discussion on Reddit about this. Most of those in not in favour went along the lines of "MY PARK HURRR DURRR" and basically carried on like as if this would completely ruin the park.

Actually it would improve the park for locals as:

a) training would only be 5-6 hours per week (c.f. extended times when used for event parking and locals cannot access it);

b) we would maintain the oval and it would not be fenced off (c.f. Richmond F.C.) making it available for dog walkers morning and evening etc;

c) the proposed internal facilities (such as netball/basketball courts) would be available for local (youth) teams who have to rely on schools etc; 

d) the area would be available and accessible for locals on event days (c.f. at present when it is used for event parking)!

Exactly as Lisa Simpson said.

Though I regret pulling that video now as I have to look at that disgraceful charlatan, Paul Joseph Watson.

C'mon ProDee. Break out your kale smoothies, man bun and your Noam Chomsky books and take one for the team.

Better red (and blue) than dead says I.

I guess this means the Yarra Park idea is dead in the water. I can see us homeless for another few years, before announcing a poor second  best option, with a far inferior building than we planned over the railway tracks.  Was hoping that we had secured political support by dumping our poker machines. Guess not.

Oh well, at least i wont have to vote Labor now. :)

Although they may support an AFL plan

or a local community plan

or any other plan 

after they are elected

This is what i don't get with these NIMBY's. They hide behind their mantra of protecting the local parkland, yet low and behold, there is this massive structure (MCG) smack bang in the middle of it.

How space for another open oval would detract from Yarra Park is completely beyond me. If anything, it would smarten the place up, providing an accessible oval for local residents to use outside of training times.

I guess our fall back position could be just training on the G ?

100% going ahead with Government backing. 

This is excellent news, stimulating thoughts that the Dees are getting serious, again. Whilst it has been a very long time for this groundswell to emanate from what has been an agony of doubts year in, year out, it certainly feels that the No.1 pedestal is about to be re-occupied by the Red 'n Blue for a lustful charge at invincibility for some years to come. 58 years of pain, or so, seems to have been vanquished.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
