The whole Brunton Road entrance to Richmond Station needs to be redeveloped including adding more top up machines. They need to make that entrance wider to accommodate the large crowd streaming in at the end of games.

To be fair though they do make announcements/have signs warning people to top up before they leave the station so as to avoid the rush at the end of the game. To your point about the machines though I don't believe they are responsible for the bottleneck.

There is no doubt the Richmond station is badly in need of redevelopment. I had not been through it for years until last year. It is like a remnant from the 60's. The problem is the government is sinking billions into the underground. I don't see Richmond getting more than bandaids for this decade.

    Nice idea but there is as much chance as me being 21 again.

    You're probably right. I can see it funded in time by the station going underground and a series of high rise apartments on top. With the glut of apartments though can't see it happening soon.

    Whoever allowed the build up of apartments etc on the concourse surrounding Docklands was a genius.... Not.

    There is no such thing as “government money”, it is taxpayers’ money. 

    No,  It isn't taxpayers money.!

    It is the Australian nations revenue.  It belongs to babies and the geriatrics , the teens & the pensioners... every bit as much as the  partime tax payers who mostly rip off the system anyway.

     

    By the way,  do you think much of the money belongs to Harvey Norman, and Andrew Forest, Gina Whineheart, et al.?

    I think not.

    Call it revenue...  and stop naming it as tax collected...   

    Because its nation building revenue. It belongs to all of us.

    I guess he’s looking for somewhere big enough to contain his ego.

    Eds been sniffing someone elses crack,  again.

     

    He's trying to steal the march and the thunder from our ideas...  by getting in first. 

    We need it, we want it,  its our idea.   From years back.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
