    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.

    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

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
