Had a look at Gosch Park area.

They could develop a warf and social club on the yarra.

Just walk under the freeway. 

Be a great meeting place and people could ferry to the area of sporting and botanical.

Parks and waterways victoria would need to invest.

By the way saw rehabbers;

Tim smith, oscar Mcdonald, Michael Hibberd and Neville Jetta.

Hibs and jets working with Crossy. Clean at the ball and good foot skills.

Can't be far off.

Oscar working on kicking skills mainly the stab pass.

Tim marking well.

Would be great if we could make it happen?

I think we need help with $$$, and sadly our government, will not be giving us any help. like all the other clubs in the AFL.

Club have gone very quiet about this. Hope they are working on something.

They are, working hard on being quiet and waiting for us all to forget and move on.

The Yarra would be a fitting place for us to truly, go under.

Of course they have. Tipping they have finally realized the MCG precinct idea development is Disneyland stuff and now are waiting for an alternate proposal to sell to the fans. With no history of property acquisition or development I have grave doubts about our ability to pull it off.

That hasn’t worked either.

Bentleigh club says hi!

Interesting that you raise the Bentleigh club in a thread where many have lamented the absence of a social club.

I have little knowledge of the place but without pokies would it have survived and was it ever used as a social club?

Who the f cares about a social club? They wouldnt get more than 2 mice and a cockroach at a social club outside of match day. Not viable, not a priority, not need.

A good training ground, good indoor training facility, good admin centre. That's what is needed.


A football club from a sport that runs for 6 months of the year, during the coldest part, that has 40k members, has sworn off pokies and has just sold off a similar business should never be investing in a 'social club'.

Why not try venturing down to The Sporting Globe sometime on game day and see if you think the 'crowds' justify MFC investing in such an endeavour.

 

If developing then admin overlooking the yarra.

Would help them feel professional, proud and privileged.

The Club has officially dumped the Yarra Park plan. Pert said this in a pre game interview on radio. Still wants to create the base in the inner city sports precinct. 

My bet is we stay at an upgraded Goschs Paddock and build nearby for gym, FD and admin centre.

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread.  Just so depressing to be homeless.

Back to the drawing board.

My understanding is that Pert has spent his time on little else since starting. No stone unturned, although I think the Andrews govt used us a pawn at one stage. 

East Melbourne society or whatever they are called can GAGF. 

It was a silly idea and was never going to be approved. Too much loss of parkland, and too much local opposition.

The original article referenced in the first page of this topic says "The Herald Sun can reveal the ­Demons are eyeing a prized parcel of parkland, in the northeastern corner of the MCG precinct, for a full-sized football oval".

The reality is not important when the perception is that open parkland, accessible to residents 24/7, will be lost and subsumed by a football club.

The idea of a building over the railway line was never going to work either.

Aren't the State Government looking at that over the rail lines, from Flinders Street to near the G?

A sporting oval is not the same as parkland, Red. Parkland is what is there currently. Despite our needs, changing the use of land on that part of Yarra Park was always going to be pushing the proverbial up a hill.

Oh well they have kept their parkland and they can watch their dogs deposit presents on it for others to step in.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
