Plan B if Caufield somehow falls over sounds like there has been a decent setback.

Set back or not, Waverley is a better location than driving to Casey twice a week, so go for it... even if it's temporary

    Totally agree, and allows the admin to be located in the same building as the players.

    Ought to be part of plan A ...

    Caulfield, I wouldn’t think , to be available for 3/4 years. So in the meantime why not utilise Waverley??

    I called Waverley as an option years ago and got shot down on here.

    Agree. You don't send the incoming president, CEO and vice captain to Waverley as part of the 'design process' for Caulfield. It just doesn't make much sense given the unique residential layout/build of Waverley.

    I think (and am hoping) that they considering Waverley as a temporary home while Caulfield progress over the next 3-5 years. These things always take longer than anticipated so it would be a smart move if it is financially viable to execute without jeopardising Caufield.

    Well you would. You’d want a players point of view about things that are important and aren’t, facilities wise.

    Waverley would be an interim location while Caulfield gets built is my understanding

    It cuts the to and fro from two locations

    Happy to be corrected

    Agree that a player's perspective would be important in the facilities design but then Waverley would be an interesting first location for such research given the many other superior facilities. You may be right though and this is one of many facilities that the Dees crew visit or at least the first which is public knowledge. I was just speculating but of course time will tell.

    Caulfield has always been a swindle, now pushed between a car park and the pokies that we sold them from Bentleigh.

    It’s been a bust from day one.

    The pic doesn't do justice to the size of that carpark. It's enormous.

    Just rent Waverley as a stop gap. Get the admin and footy department at one location. Half the drive from the city. Sort out Caufield in the background.

    It will make us instantly more appealing as a club.

    Agree. It definitely is an improvement in the interim and a plan B option.

    No research whatsoever so I could be way off the mark here.

    Wasn’t Hawthorn at Waverley and is so why did they decide to move to wherever they are at now?

    Yes they were, and they're moving because Waverley is basically a housing estate with a single oval in the middle overlooked by townhouses. Clubs want multiple-oval facilities these days.

    It's a better setup than we've got ... and it would be interim.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      The text messages started flooding in shortly after quarter time. One read: “Is Melbourne even at the ground?” Moments later, as Carlton’s Elijah Hollands kicked the first goal of the second term, the Blues held a commanding 43-point lead. By then, the Demons’ only score was a behind kicked by Brody Mihocek nearly five minutes into the game. Ironically, Mihocek would also register the last minor score of the day after the game took a dramatic turnaround.
