This seems like a pretty half-arsed result to me, if you'd even call it a result

Half an [censored] is better than none, especially if you're at an [censored]-kicking party.

Just letting you all know that I was told today that the Caulfield facility will be announced very soon, perhaps over the next couple of days.  I was told the MCC is a significant contributor and th

Some significant development. 

Can someone give summary, it's paywall.

In another big win for the Demons, the club has secured State Government funding which should help kickstart the development of a new home in the city.

Melbourne has secured State Government funding to upsize its training oval at Gosch’s Paddock as part of plans to develop a new home base in the city.

The Demons have been hampered in recent years by the small size of their oval, which chief executive Gary Pert recently dubbed a “junior-size football oval”.

But in a win for the club, talks with Government this year have helped secure the funds to increase the width and length to AFL-standard size.

Gonna beat the buzzer here. AAMI Park is being extended to accommodate the womens football world cup in 2023. Once that is over, a portion of the upgraded facility will be handed to us along with the bigger oval. Should result in our own gym, rooms, etc.

Bigger oval as in MCG size or Docklands size?

Is it no coincidence that as soon as Bartlett leaves we've made signsignificant inroads regarding this? I believe Roffey had a strong relationship with the state government around this whereas Bartlett didn't?

Roffey and Pert may just be bigger recruits then what Roos and Jackson were.

Significant milestone in our club history ??

Is this clumsy from Browne guessing that the funding is coming from the pokies sale? Surely it's co-funding with the State Government and our cash generated from the pokies sale...

I think he worded that tweet wrong.  Had he mentioned that it was from the state government funding, plus the extra funding from the pokies sales then yes it would make sense.

I suspect it is just a coincidence. These negotiations would have taken many, many months, if not years.

What I suspect is not a coincidence, though, is that the State Government has come to the party after we've publicly stated we're getting out of the pokies industry. I imagine any State Government approval was contingent on that decision.

That would be the very last thing on the shopping list, if it is actually even on it.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
