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!

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
