Has anybody noticed that our performance at the MCG seems to have improved significantly since Gosch’s Paddock was resized to match the MCG? Would this make any difference? I guess it can’t hurt, but there are undoubtedly several factors at play…

Certainly can't hurt. There would be some kind of compounding effect training on it week after week as well.

Any further news about a Home Base in Caulfield?

Thought I should ask as it is something I am extremely passionate about in regards to our beloved Melbourne Football Club finally having a proper Home Base.

 

Alan Richardson flagged yesterday on SEN that things were progressing well in regards to Caulfield…..

I noticed this article about Hawthorn's trials and tribulations building their (3rd!) new home base in Dingley. Not that I have much sympathy for them! 😒

 

Here is the link to the article: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1031238/hawthorn-hawks-committed-to-new-base-despite-woes-main-contender-emerges-for-ceo-role

 

Anyway, fingers crossed we hear some good news soon about what is happening regarding our home base at Caulfield Racecourse? 🤞

ive finally updated my technology and am able to comment again.

i have followed tis discussion for some time and am an unashamed supporter of Fishermans Bend location.

As a proposed development area with an existing development board and proposed public transport there are many attractions 

If you havent been down there just do yourself a favour and drive around the total area and then look at a map to see the obvious potential.

I have thought of gathering a team of Demonland expertise to prepare a briefing paper for a community entertainment facility incorporating a training ground, all gymnasium and associated football requirements including an administration centre. With theatre spaces for cinema as well live streaming of away matches this could be a site for members when the MCG is full at finals time.

Anyone wanting to contribute thoughts feel free to go for it.

FB is one of the largest urban renewal projects with anticipated 80,00 population. this community will need liesure and entertainment facilities. It also provides a local supporter base

Soo... where we at with our home training base?

Fishermen's Bend is as far away from the demon supporter base as is Casey. To me it feels like another heartless Docklands.  Sorry it is a No from me.

Again, why does it matter that it is away from the ‘supporter base’? You’re not welcome there outside of open trainings ahead of our patented straight sets exit from finals.

Correct, port melb vfl ground is ripe for development same theme song almost same colours … very tricky with our alignment with Casey..  would need to be a standalone but plenty of room. FB will be a new suburb but it’s attached to old port melb that’s the difference…

Huh?! Fisherman's Bend?

I thought we are now fully investigating the option of the Caulfield Racecourse for the Melbourne Football Club's Home Base?

Anyway, I guess we should hopefully hear some news at the upcoming Melbourne Football Club's AGM?

The matter of our Home Base should be at the top of our agenda.

We’ve waited so long, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that we’ll have Caulfield Racecourse as our eastern base, with FB as our western one 😁

If we had a proper home base we wouldn't go out in straight sets, we'd be the undefeated champions of the universe!

Not if it’s more than 45 mins from the CBD we won’t! Rah rah fart

Rubbish So if we had a home base  since 1964 we would be leading the AFL/VFL Premiership winners on about  20 flags. 

Do Pigs really fly ?

Sorry  FB is a [censored] to get to.

Wont matter to me but if im a player needing to get somewhere  to train at the times normally scheduled then FB is a disaster.

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
