I understand that it is an unpopular opinion but Casey is by far the most obvious place for a facility that includes all aspects of the club.

As Bluey points out our catchment area, is now Casey, Cranbourne and East Gippsland.

The major problem with travel times for the players is that we have two training venues, having one training and administrative area relieves this.

    If a surf coast, land, and the opportunity for a still-urban lifestyle are such effective attractors for Geelong, here in Bass Coast Shire we have all that in spades! And, with just as good access back to Melbourne when desired.

    Stop saying it’s our training ground.

    It’s a shared community asset.

    If I recall correctly, and I normally do, Friends of Save Caulfield racecourse reserve had a seat at the table, and it was agreed that we would train no more than 3 times a week, for a total of 12 hours, a week

    Schools and community groups will be able to book the grounds by contacting the managing officer.

    Many folk also believe it will be a place to go and get boozed after a game, but that’s a long stretch of the truth.

    so pretty much the same as Collingwood's oval

    True, think Inverloch, Philip Island and Wilsons prom BUT The demographic of players, staff and admin would be more central to CBD I would think. For that reason nobody other than me residing in Berwick would think it a good location. That plus the Slithera City issue presents problems.

    • 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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 7

      Round 7 is here, with the ANZAC commemoration games taking centre stage. Who are you tipping this week, and which results would be most favourable for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

      The Dees hit the big Friday night stage for the first and only time this season when they take on the Tigers under lights on ANZAC Eve at the G. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      Before Sunday, the last time the Brisbane Lions had walked onto the turf of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, they celebrated the pinnacle of the sport - an AFL premiership secured in emphatic fashion for the second consecutive year.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
