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.

But which decade Cards?

I thought we'd seen the plans and it WAS decided ...just not yet announced? Do you know if there has been a particular roadblock arise or things are just as they were?

Who would know it is as quiet  as the grave wells 11. Nothing on the members night this week and I expect nothing at the AGM in coming days.

OD, the last time you had such a negative attitude you were threatened with deportation back to Qld - where, back in '21, while holidaying, you amazed us by submitting extremely positive posts. Who'd have thought it?

After these last comments about our facilities I think its time for another holiday mate.

I've got no inside word Wells and Perty et al have seen the plans and they look great from what they've said publicly but until it's announced it's not a done deal, especially with an election on the way... 


Maybe just maybe there will be announcement before the next Vic election and Andrews hoping that he will win over all the South Eastern suburbs liberal voters😜

NC the simple fact is it has been promised now for 3 years and still no news. We have a very good team of players, good coaching, good admin and good training conditions at Casey. All those won us a flag last year. If it takes another few years so be it we will have won another flag or 2 in that time. The rest of a facility for members  is nice to have but will have no effect on the playing group.

Getting it right is more important than getting it right now

 

I was very drunk with someone who works in the tennis precinct who talked about the plans to me but I can’t remember what he told me. Hope this helps.

Hope it wasn’t that imbecile Craig Tiley. The info he gave you would’ve been very incorrect. Just ask Novak 😜

yes...and..sometimes the perfect can be become the enemy of the good. Our time to strike is now. Our club is in a peak window for attracting interest and money. Who knows how long his will last!

The problem is as I see it they are in the hands of the government. So the MFC wants something! No votes there it can wait.

I see ch 7 tonight mentioned that our new facilities are shortly to be announced. 5 stories high across from Groches and costing 300 million.

300 million is a monster bill. Going to need the Storm, Rebels etc to chip in (both cash and for the funding case).

I can see why it’s taking so long when it’s gone from far more than just facilities for us.

What you suggested is what i've come up with in my proposal earlier in the thread.

Must admit a bit disappointed that the Gosch's Paddock isn't being fully developed (like in the Master Plan  i came up with below) but something is better than nothing i guess.

I must admit i'm curious to see what happens with the Training Facility and surrounding areas off the back of the news report.

Hopefully most of the above comes true in some way shape or form!

Not sure they'll be moving Gosch's after doing all the work on it, so can probs cross that part off.

Also, not sure which off ramp you mean, but assuming the one coming off the SE Fwy onto Punt Rd? If so, I don't think it could be straightened given it involves being in the left lane and exiting to the right.

What's the 'indoor hall'?

So am I correct that we're still going to be sharing head quarters with Melbourne storm and the likes?

I had visions of a multi-story training facility along the lines of Tottenham Hotspur currently where Car Park F is located. 

Spurs facility also has an indoor hall which would be fantastic if there was something like this to allow all teams onsite to use.

Something along the lines of the team whose name I cannot say have at their training facility near Melbourne Airport. 

That mockup was my preferred wish list of re-aligning the offramp to create extra space for 2 x Rugby / Football pitches.

If it's a big enough complex I don't see the problem, as long as we have access to facilities when required. Five stories is pretty big and our admin will be based there along with our footy staff.

And as long as it has our branding on it

I do get that, but wasn't the whole idea of having our very own home base was so that we could finally be one whole club which would include players and administrator staff being in the one precinct and finally be free of having to share facilities with other sporting codes?

Which other AFL clubs are sharing facilities with other sporting codes?

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
