Pretty sure the coach lives in Malvern 

He's got a holiday joint at Rye, as does Gawn. And yes, Goody lives in East Malvern.

    I get no indications the pies intend to move. Where does this myth come from? I cannot see why the" social club" is in such demand. The clubs that have them get little attendance.

    The speculation about Collingwood moving out of their current home has been fuelled by themselves, no-one else. I was simply relating to that. 
     

    There have been plenty of examples of thriving social clubs at AFL level. Success depends on accessibility, parking and quality of offering. Admittedly the most outstanding have tended to be interstate (and even Geelong), but there are some that thrive.

    I understand that but what is your source of “speculation” I have seen nothing besides comments on here.

    Ashburton. Lever lives in Kew. Jones lives in Black Rock, I think, maybe Beaumauris. His house backs onto Royal Melbourne West, Hole 11. He catches wayward balls in his teeth over breakfast.

    Spot on David 

    We must not cut the MCG Cord. 
    It is our “Suburb”

    Casey is a good back up, but shouldn’t be the home base. 
    going forward we must represent the City of Melbourne as well as the MCG, if we wish to become a seriously supported big club...

    Interesting. He goes on fair walks then. My sister regularly sees him walking the streets near Central Park. I guess he's a fit guy, so loves a reasonable walk.

    This thread has been going around in circles since Norm got the boot.

    I believe, my friends, that an announcement will be made within the next 4 weeks on a preferred site.

    Unfortunately whether that announcement will be definitive or a wish list I do not know.

    In any case, if we agreed to move in there after they moved out, they would either reneg at the last second or double the price, saying something like, "Youze are all rich c#$&s."

    If they are anticipating the proposed population need a high school there should be an entertainment precinct . 80,000 population support commercial ventures 

    . This new community could provide a new unaligned supporter group .

    ive been promoting this area for some time and encourage all readers to go down there and have a look. You will be surprised how much potential there is. 

    Also recommend that demon supporters go and discover the Ron Barassi complex which confirms our connection with that region.

    Goody may have/ his kids live in Malvern but he is currently living Rye AFAIK.

    Gawn moved permanently to Blairgowrie over lockdown.

    There's some great history and great nam s.

    They may be resistant to any approach which would see them lose their identity but I don't see how an alignment which benefits both could not be achieved.

    Some sharing of improved facilities, staffing and resources could also mean for nancial economies and sustainability.

    Supporters could be encouraged to join both clubs with attractive options and a greater penetration to community could be achieved. The history of both local and national teams would be an attractive feature for a new population base which is predicted to move to the area.

    Was this a one off trip or do you go there often?

    Are you aware of other development or free space?

    Do you think there is potential for a ground and associated buildings?

    If you grew up in Sandringham, as i did in the 60’s 70’s and 80’s, just the idea of “joining up with Port Melbourne” is NOT ON!!

    Those Footy Clubs HATED each other big time. 
    it just doesn’t feel right

    What would the Port supporters of the 70s and 80s have said if they could have looked into the future and seen a future join-up with the Melbourne Football Club? Talk about the odd couple.

    Before it was worked over and gentrified, there were pubs in Port where you didn't go in if you were wearing a suit.

    Exactly. It was a place to avoid.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
