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. 

https://sport.optus.com.au/news/womens-world-cup-2023/os59834/fifa-womens-world-cup-2023-host-stadiums-melbourne-aami-park

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?

$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

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
