    Do you know that as fact  MD ?

    The State Govt needed a different slant on the Games to 2006 and building up Regional facilities is both functionally smart and you would think politically rewarding. 

    Don't think The MCC necessarily canned the games but Dan or another lily came up with the Regional proposal.

    As we know Victoria  excels in events far better than any other states.

    The city I was referring to Warrnambool not melbourne nor MCC nor MCG

     

    Drop in Turf  not for a training ground   far to expensive

    No sign of seed sown. But no room for instant turf either, so I'd guess seed will be sown soon. (Simon supposes seed will be sown soon, by the seaside.)

    On 3 August 2021 VIC Govt announced the upgrade which was to start at that time and finish in March 2022 in time for the start of the season.

    So I guess in continuing with their culture, it will be delivered late and over budget. Better than nothing I guess, which is what we’d get under a Liberal government.

    Gee slow burn this one. I'm no curator but trying to grow during winter would be tough with a lack of sun? Novice thing to say though surely.

    Most pasture is sown in Autumn, idea is you get seeds going now, dormant (slow growth) over winter, then will grow well in Spring. Pretty standard time to sow.

    Makes sense, get it ready for peak growing periods. Learning all the time 🙂

    Might need to keep Sparrow away from Gosch's until the seeds get going.

    Interesting little mention on the Deebrief podcast Thursday about how someone had seen the plans for the facility.

    Did they check the date? Might have been 1956!

    I don't W11. With the exception of a few missed training days because they are at Casey as long as this winning continues they could train on the moon. Why do you want them training at Goschs in the medium term?

    That bit is okayish. Seems a long way behind schedule which is annoying and it’s better we have our ground to train on. More settled.  But we’re winning so it doesn’t feel too bad. Im more hanging out for an announcement that we have a home base. Rightly or wrongly seems like if we can’t tick that box when our relevance is peaking it may never happen.

    I understand your position completely. If the progress at Goschs is so far behind I dread to think how the contruction of buildings etc is going to progress. We are going well at Casey I doubt we will see the buildings etc at Goschs for 5 years.  2027/8 seems likely to me.

    Interesting. I have no idea what stage it's at or how it's going but there doesn't seem to have been much progress since I took the photo below nearly 3 weeks ago on 2 April. I've just remembered I found out recently I know someone who works in there as a groundsman. Don't know if he actually works on Gosch's or just AAMI and others. I've put a request through to a mutual contact for some info on progress and will post if I get a reply.

    We seem to be doing just fine at Casey. For all the moaning, yearning and wishing going on you’d think a new facility was somehow really important.

    Important or not the facility at or near Goschs won't happen any time soon we don't even have an agreed deal yet let alone construction.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
