    You've opened up another of the so many angles of this Fabulous Famous Year, @Demons1858: we need to have a 'Lou-Richards-buries-the-Colliwobbles'-type burial of The Curse at the 'G as part of our ongoing celebration/commemoration of said FF Year. Do it, MFC.

    Premiers 2021 from existing facilities - new training ground option no longer required 🏆 😂

    But we're going to need more space for the next group of cups.

    Let’s not follow Collingwood - it only took 31 seconds to excise the past. 
    We comforted ourselves with MFCSS. 
    Look forever to  future success, starting R1 2022. 
    Five or six of our team weren’t even born for our previous GF

    I guess you're right, Radar! And victory on the 'G on (presumably) 24 September 2022 would constitute a fine memorial service 😉

    It's my understanding that the new facility will be where the current car park F is and it won't be too far away.

    The existing rooms are if looking at AAMI are to the right of the building and down the side. The gym, pool and meeting rooms are down that side. I have been told that the feeling is now it is too crowded with Storm and Rebels using the facilities. If the players need to use the pool they have to book it etc. I mean how long have we been using the same facilities together so surely this has been a problem for some time. 

    I just drove past AAMI and I cannot see how that side is a better option. There is a little bit of land behind the current AAMI building which is used by delivery trucks but to the side definitely a smaller amount of land (currently player parking) compared to the other side.  On the other side you could also definitely scrimp some land where the current pathway/bicycle lane stands. 

    Have you driven around Fishermans Bend/Port Melbourne?

    dpostive it is not near the G. Just forget everything else. It is Goschs area, end of story. The Board and a couple of presidents have stated on numerous occasions it has to be in the vacinity of the G.

    Given clubs tend to "follow the leader" any chance the arms race for better and better facilities will be flipped on its head and other clubs will decide to downgrade their facilities to Gosch's standard?

    Makes you wonder about the "hanger" and the Hawks grandiose plan at Dingley. Of course we did spend a lot of time at Casey this year which is now a good ground with good facilities.

    I think there is an excellent chance clubs will look at how we trained (specifically our reliance on team spirit and fitness over having 6 MCG-sized ovals and an olympic pool-sized weights room), then at the Hawks' giant facility, currently unfunded, and will dig out their own plans to supersize their training facilities, and go hmmmmm .... lotta money, isn't it?

    I am not saying that clubs don't need good facilities MR but no amount of good facilities will make up for a lack of good players. Nothing will turn a sows ear into a silk purse.

    Hope your mail is accurate @Dante. Car Park F area would be great, especially if there was a member's facility attached to it.

    Less is more? As a bit of a minimalist I like your thinking LDVC.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
