Yeh sure, who’s going to hang around a social club, jump in their vehicle, and drink a skinful of grog to make it viable

    I think you've confused the football surface with the more rigid demands of the farnarkle ground.

    A lot of grounds I played on were very clearly

    Totally Farnarkled!😳

    Gary Pert indicated last night that we will be using Gosch's from next week. And also that an announcement on a permanent base is getting very close.

    Depending on your version of very close, that could be minutes, hours, days, months, years away!

    Given the state election this year and that there is a working group comprising the club, state, and local government working through the planning process and with support from the AFL, I would be staggered if our MCG precinct facility is not announced in the lead up to the state election. Failing this we could threaten to move to Tassie if both state and local governments do not come to the party.

    I would rather be head quartered at Casey. Never make a threat you are not prepared to carry out!

    OD let's play the long game, if we carry out the threat and move to Tassie it will put the State Government, Local Government and AFL on notice that when we make a threat we see it through 💪.

    2023 too close @old dee

    We will probably get something as an aside to womens 2023 soccer World Cup , or 2027 Rugby World Cup.

    Can’t build something in less than 6 months, when it won’t be announced before November. 

    Hopefully we can both hang on until 2027!!

    Or the 2026 Commonwealth Games. Although given the games will primarily be held in regional Victoria, our home base and social club might end up in Bendigo.

    I said the same thing to the war office many years ago when discussing potential next holiday destinations. 

    Suffice to say i'm still hearing about this...many years later!

    Let's hope we all do.  Surely three years should do it.

    Worth remembering that building costs and timelines are at least double what they were a couple of years ago.

    2025 will be footings only for a ridiculous amount of money. 

    Meanwhile there's truckloads of grant money down at Punt Rd. They'll need to build a new stand just to hold all the cash!

    Hopefully we hear before Clarry's contract ends in 2030.

    It pays not to take too much notice of these announcements DD! They are the mushroom stuff we have been fed for sometime now. If we train there this side of pre season 2023 I will be surprised.

    well apparently our aflw team are training there and they are a part of "we"

    so technically "we" are training there

    My guess is that they like the idea of closed training. Will always be a drawback at the Paddock.

    I hope they had the witches hats out at Casey replicating the size of Kardinia Park.

    If this happened would we become the Tassie Devils 🤪

    The witches hats only come out the week we play North. Genuine match simulation.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
