Just to remind Daisy cutter and Old Dee they were discussing the insoluble venue position in Jan this year here, and worried about their resilience before something would take place ...well it looks like something is going to happen.

Cheers

    But what if you could also get a mill a year and not have to drive to Casey and back a few times a week?

    drive from where, not everyone lives in east Melbourne

    We shouldnt leave Goschs until the new facility is built.

    Moving on an interim basis - Pies get Goschs and then caulfield falls through....and we are stuck in no mans land.

    Hopefully we don't shoot ourselves in the foot like we have a tendency to do repeatedly.

    As I said a year or so ago, Caulfield will happen and we will end up with the best facilities in the AFL.

    That will finally help recruiting too.

    Jesus Redleg I do hope you're right...or your sources. The importance of it is growing exponentially by the year.

    lol...no...but maybe a crown of thorns?

    Actually I'm grabbing on to any positives today about the club I can find in a bleak week, so I appreciate this small morsel.

    Caulfield is progressing well. There’s positive movement in the background. Solidifying the executive will progress it.

    In the mean time, AAMI is fine. Less time at Casey, more at AAMI. It certainly isn’t an issue for the Storm who are the NRLs gold standard for preparation, culture and performance.

    Most footy players seem to live around the inner east, inner north, bayside suburbs or Ascot Vale area.

    Sadly in the best case scenario we will be at Casey and Goschs till at least 2030. I won't see us anywhere else. I will no doubt be in an urn before that changes. Let's just get on with it. We won a flag with the current set up. This is not stopping us playing in GF.

    Can we just get an agreement from the MCC and AFL that we can train at the MCG 2 days a week till Caulfield is handed over.. Fixed!!

    It's been 40 years since they kicked us off the G SPC. Hell will probably freeze over before the above me thinks

    this club is so cooked, this training base situation is our number one priority right now even over our goal kicking and countless over issues why are they doing this?

    Jeezuz cool your Jets, Guera can’t undertake any negotiations until he is on the payroll and that doesn’t happen until next month. Everyone needs to take a step back. We need to get our coaching selection underway 1st, get Guera on the payroll 2nd, then let him release the findings on the new Training Facility and how We propose to fund it. 3 rd find out who has a big mouth on the Board or in our offices and chop off these misleading leads to the Media. The only thing that is cooked is peoples mindsets.

    Agree 100% deezone. However as far as this project is concerned it is concerning that the length of time this is taking just to get approval. With every passing day I get the feeling it is not going to happen. I know the wheels of democracy grind slowly but this is glacial.

    We have waited a long time for this Facility Old Dee we maybe further down the track than we know. I think it is time for us all to sit back and enjoy the ride at least we now know where it will be.👍

    Are you sure Deezone, you seem convinced this will happen. The longer it goes without any decision the more I am concerned it will not get approval.

    There are a couple of posters on DLand that have remained positive throughout the process so I am sticking with them and I believe that they will leave the announcements to our new CEO.

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
