There is no agreed plan at this stage. Let's suppose tomorrow they reveal the holy grail when do you think construction will finish and the grand opening taking place? 

there was no 'agreed' plan to win the 2021 premiership either

there was a slow build that got us there that you spent a lot of time on this forum doubting and denigrating

i'm happy to let it play out; the key aspects of the club have been rock solid since head office parachuted jackson (off-field delivery) and roos (on-field set-up) into the club

    Some people enjoy denigrating the club at every opportunity. Prior to the flag they had an audience because we were all missing something and it was easyish to marry the two. Looking back the constant negativity and nastiness was unnecessary and in most cases just repetitively odd. Happy days will hopefully weed out the perennial whingers and mfcss stokers.

    So you have no idea either which means I could easily be in the ground.

    Drove past Gosch's paddock over the weekend. I know it's meant to have some similarity to Marvel Stadium, but I think they've taken it too far with the sandy surface very similar to Colonial Stadium circa 2001.

    Thanks.  But you need to get out more.

    Unless you're being sarcastic...which is fine with me.

    We haven't used the 'current facilities' for two years.  We have been at Casey where the ground is almost MCG size, they have very good workout facilities and we don't share it with anyone.  But admin staff were still at AAMI.

    Yes, we won a flag from Casey but it is no reason to not push forward to get AFL standard facilities for football and admin.

    dpositive won't be happy

    Not so DC. I'm delighted that there is an apparently firm commitment to a home for the Dees. A place where we can visit and witness training and connect with our administration and history. Where we can gather before and after games, where we can join with fellow supporters to watch games when we are playing away from the MCG and interstate.

    Not sure. Each time I go past it seems there is v little activity.

    Possible waiting for winter to set in before grassing and allowing to settle before spring growing season?

    Your roaming correspondent passed by today and noted lots of activity. It seems they have laid down a base of finely crushed rock (the light grey in the pics) and are now non-stop covering it with what looks like a very sandy loam. trucks dumping here there and everywhere and a bobcat smoothing it out. Pegs are laid out showing the final height of the soil. Looks to be about 15 - 20cm.

    The ground is noticeably wider than before.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.
