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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
