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.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

  • 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.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    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?

    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.
