Unconfirmed rumour we have signed with Caulfield Racecourse.

Presumably the 2nd oval will be in the dimensions of GMHBA given how often we are fixtured there.

Brad Green spoke to the premium members prior to the Sydney game on Sunday, it’s down to 2 locations, Caulfield and Goschs Paddock, the club is hoping to announce something within 6 months.

May have been raised elsewhere, but we were back training at Junction Oval yesterday as guests of Cricket Victoria. 

Goes without saying, but less than ideal preparation for a finals series hopping around city venues. Nothing has changed since the old Junction days...

Last WWC game in Melbourne was last night so we should be back to 2 venues now at least.

Maybe just a change of scenery to freshen the boredom.

...another week to go...FIFA requires the stadiums to be free for a week AFTER the last game is played.

Last game at AAMI Park/Melbourne Rectangular Stadium was last night and Storm are playing there this Sunday.

Imagine no team would base themselves here for training given no more games in Melb,  should be right to use Gosch's Paddock and any internal facilities.

The girls also had photo day yesterday at Casey so boys may have moved for the day to allow this to happen.

Nibs and JV also spoke to the Vic players on leadership so one may have worked around the other??

Good mail redleg, I’ve had confirmed that we are “being considered as a tenant” but nothing official. This coming from an existing tenant.

Long time coming. 

I may be singing the praises of Pert & Roffey once it lands.

Is @Redleg suggesting that we are going to have an announcement today?

Two ovals.

Building to house admion and football department.

$15 million needed from us - come on down Foundation Heroes and Legends.

I would happily give some hundred bucks if this materialises.

That’s quite detailed Hawk… and obviously exciting. Is the source decent?

Just out of interest is the $15m required from us in line with what other clubs have tipped in for their developments?

Significant news. it really is incredible to think back to 2012 when the club was in legitimate trouble and think just 11 years later we'd be around the 70k member mark, had won a flag, look a big chance to win another, on the verge of securing a facility upgrade. all the wonderful people involved have done a remarkable job.

Not only is the Foundation Heroes event on today, but also the Ron Barassi Wills and Bequest event. This is for people to include the MFC in their Wills and Bequests

Ties in with money being sought for new facilities.

Remember we have a lot in the bank already from the sale of Bentleigh land and Oakleigh lease of pokies facilities.

However, we would be talking a lot more money and will need plenty from other sources, private, government, AFL etc.

Hopefully my info was correct and Caulfield Racecourse is about to be announced as our new home base.

Go Dees.

The available figures are very rubbery

Essendon's facility at Tullamarine is quoted at $21M whereas Hawthorn's new facility at Dingley is quoted at $100M.

$15M sounds reasonable compared to the Hawks contribution at perhaps $30M

Jimmy S wiped out $5M of debt so hopefully over time we can find $15M

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
