Piont is it is a PUBLIC PARK, Anyone can use it at any time, there are zero tenets of use or ownership

PF it is the same for the racecourse which is designated as public space. I dont think there are too many dog walkers on the racecourse during tue Caulfield Cup.

    I'm confused, is the horse track staying? By the looks of the latest plan there isn't a horse track there.

    It certainly is, the MRC will continue as usual. Horse racing at Caulfield is going nowhere.

    Gee PF I was only asking a question and giving a suggested answer there was no need to jump on me from your high horse. You can get back on now.

    Read firstly old fella.

    I am not PF for starters.

    Secondly, you asked a question then followed through with a suggested answer based off your own personal agenda against moving to Waverley.

    High horse? Ha, if thats how you interpreted my response then clearly you're sensitive sod.

    Hawks won 4 flags including a 3 peat… I’m all for a new purpose build location but Waverley would be a better proposition in the interim logistically, we have issues attracting talent as Casey is too far .. Goodwin took a swipe on the way out on this

    A complete move to Casey is the most obvious and financially beneficial move that could be made.

    Is Geelong too far from Melbourne?

    Use the location to Gippsland and the Mornington Peninsula as a asset

    You're just making your own assumption.

    It was reported on here not long ago that the players are in fact looking forward to heading to Waverley.

    Wasn't actually the question.

    Do staff...I.e. Admin want to relocate to Waverley ?

    They might ... i don't know. Does anyone ? 🤷

    I know where you are coming from Beelzebub who would want to relocate from the G to Waverley. I’m with WayneWussell dig in, stay at Gosh’s until Caulfield is Signed, Sealed and Delivered, then we move. Are AFL trying to get our Head Office out of the G??

    He also said that the club’s culture was the best he had seen in his 40 years in football, a couple of years ago.

    Seems somewhat prone to overstating.

    $20M could buy you a decent helicopter service for many many years.

    Not as silly as it might sound

    I can understand why admin want to move.

    You only have to see the broom cupboards that they currently have to work in, which are spread across multiple locations at the MCG.

    Honestly, it is only used because of the peppercorn rental which is charged to us, but given the conditions...it should only be peppercorn.

    I don't know what the admin conditions at Waverley are like, but the reason Hawthorn are moving is that the FOOTBALL facilities are sub-standard in 2026.

    I think the big difference is we have Casey, which by all reports is an elite facility just not an elite location. Whereas previously Waverley was the hawks only option from my understanding.

    I think it’s a good short term option until we can get Caulfield sorted.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
