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!

Reckon i might know which version OD is on! (probably same as me!)


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 💪.

But who wants to go to Tassie? Sure as hell not me.

Just put it in my dairy. Grand final celebrating after the 2023 GF at the new club rooms. How early do we need to book?

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 was been smart George, I reckon 2025 at the very earliest. Agree George I hope I can still walk in by then!

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!

This was two weeks ago and yet we're still training out at Casey?

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
