Does stay there hidden under the seats or can it be dismantled and assembled elsewhere?

I'd love them to use one of the asphalt velodromes around a country footy oval. The one at Wangaratta would be perfect. Something tells me that won't be happening.

Not so sure about the velodrome track length vs the dimensions of a decent sized Aussie Rules oval.

    I think there are more marginal electorates in Geelong. Watch out for a further Kardinia Park stadium and associated facilities upgrade. 

    Wanted so much to click the "vomit" button for this post but that would have been unfair to LDVC.

    Clicked like, but i really didnt.

    Do we know if all the events are in country Victoria? Could we have been waiting for this announcement hence the silence from the Club regarding any future home base. Are the ducks lining up at long last. If so Kate Roffey needs a sainthood.🦆

    I think I've got a little bit over excited. The Games aren't until 2026 but still what's another 4 years.

    Disappointed there was no update at the Member's Brief last night unless it was during one of the spots where the live feed dropped out.

    Missed it last night due to footy training but disappointed that there was no discussion around if true.

    I need to find a link, but I was certain it was either Pert or Roffey last year said they would have an announcement by the end of the year with confirmation of our new home base. 

    We're nearly 3 months into the new year and we've heard nothing.

    Nearly 3 months into the new year? On 17 February? You don't ghost write Mick Warner's articles by any chance? 🙂

    Heard the same message for the past 5 years and we'll hear the same for the next 5 years

    "As much as we would love to give an update, there's no information to give at this time. It's a complex process with numerous parties. "

    "We are in constant discussions with the State Government, Melbourne & Olympic Parks Trust and the AFL."

    "We've seen the preliminary plans and we believe the facility that we are putting together will be a world class state of the art training facility with a Social Club so our fans can come together and sing the song after a win only a drop punt from the MCG located in the heart of what we believe to be the best sporting precinct in the world"

    "I can understand the members and supporters are probably getting a little frustrated at the lack of an announcement but as soon as we have the sign off from all parties to give the go ahead we'll gladly update you all."

    Serious question: Is that actually what was said or have you crafted what you imagined might have been said? Because, if it's the latter, it's very fine trolling!

    Does it matter, we just won a flag with the boys having a kick to kick, and having a beer afterwards, don’t change a winning formulae.

    Yes, it does matter. 

    The rest of the competition will improve this year as we must.  If we expect players to improve the rest of the club and the resources around them need to improve. 

    And we owe it to the new players coming through, that may not be as elite as our current top 10, to ensure they can be the best they can be.  Facilities will play a role in reaching their potential.

    Is the re-surfacing anything to do with the new training base or just a separate thing? Either way it will be better for our players feet.

    Separate thing, it is also not just a resurface, the oval has been expanded to now make it as long as the G and as wide as Etihad.

    The home base is still to be decided/approved/announced/whatever but it is assumed it will be an addition to AAMI park.

    • 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?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
