    Unfortunately can’t give names.

    There is a Foundation members event on August 9th and wonder if it might be announced then. That could be a catalyst for seeking more donations from Foundation members.

    Ironically, he won’t have the opportunity to train in it.

    Though he will probably settle for 2xpremierships 🤞

    Hope this is true.

    Squeezing into MOPT was never going to work. We would have had to compromise too much.

    if true this great news. I know you said it’s unconfirmed …

    That's why it's a rumour.

    Nice one, though.

    I was at lunch with two MRC officials on the 22nd (Caulfield Races) and was talking about the development and mentioned that MFC needed a training facility. I got nothing that led me to form any sort of opinion - topic quickly changed to how hard it is to get anything done in the area due to Nimbys. In hindsight maybe the speed that we moved off the topic might mean something.!

    if this is true then what hasn't been achieved from the strategic vision? 75,000 members by the end of 2023?

    August 9, eh?

    There's another event on that day: the combined 50-year members and Ronald Dale Barassi Bequest Society annual get together. If there's big news I hope the pacemakers are fully charged.

    Wonder what Chris from Camberwell thinks of this 🤔

    Might take up the entire Dwayne's World segment if he called SEN about this beauty.

    Will be going to that event. If any news maybe I could become the scoop master. Perty normally pops in for a brief rundown so if there is any news you will be first to hear it. 

    It was only a matter of time as this legitimately has been worked on by the Club, Council and other interested parties for a very long time.

    My interest is what Dan is going to donate to the cause. After todays announcement regarding the Public Service Superannuation fund there will be a stink of hypocrisy about any funds coming our way.

    Yes, timing is awful. Plus for wider acceptance clubs need a gimmick, some community element that sets them apart such as Bulldogs: western suburbs; Richmond : indigenous centre; Carlton: base of AFLW…I wonder what’s left for us?

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
