Caulfield should have been signed and sealed by now imho if it were happening.

I understand your frustration but to kick it off do you have a spare $570 mill lying around?  The redvelopment of the race course is a massive project involving The racecourse Trust, MRC, Glen Eira Council, State Govt (and probs the Feds), Environment Groups (save the snakes) Heritage Groups (save the horse pool) probs my mate Angus (wheres the bar) - more stakeholders than the botanical gardens.  And the MFC will have to buy in big time to get any favored treatement.

Dont hold your breath.

    And it doesn't mean there aren't already documents signed which don't activate until all parties are on board. I could imagine that there may be a heads of agreement already in place between the club and the course owner (State government? Melbourne Racing Club?) but it can't be converted into a contract until all other necessary arrangements are in place. Those documents may well include confidentiality agreements meaning the club can't discuss the situation right now.

    On this matter,I think we should change our nickname- Demons and call ourselves the Gunners.( or Gonners).It seems the media ( at least currently) are gunning for us, especially the Board , and the Board are going to do, but have done nothing ( the Gonners).

    Just to add to the discussion, for some years the geographic centre of Melbourne has been moving north and west, a trend that's set to continue.

    Then maybe somewhere like Flemington race track or parklands near the Zoo, maybe worthwhile for the board to evaluate….there also Melbourne University grounds that also could be perused.

    There is an article in today's hun about the Hawks move to Dingley. It doesn't seem to worry the Hawks that they will be a long way from their namesake. The previous demand that our locations needed to be near the G may well have lost us a number of locations. We will never know of course.

    Where did you get $570m from.

    Our development would not cost anything like that.

    Might be controversial but we won't win another flag until we have a dedicated club house and ground.

    Having looked at the plans and artists impressions the redevelopment of the racecourse includes residential housing, shops, cafes, sporting facilities, playing grounds, bbq etc.  Thats where the $570 mill comes from and I was suggesting if someone put that money up the project as a whole the project would kick off.  I cannot see the MFC facilities going ahead in isolation or standalone or if thy did it would be eg Stage 1.

    There are many stakeholders all anxious to kick in as little as possible.

    Thank you guys for the info on Caulfield. I don't see us holding our first training session there anytime this decade. It's a long way off ladies and gentlemen.

    I’m a total nuff on this kind of thing. But what exactly does an announcement about the go ahead for a feasibility study mean in real terms? explain it like i’m 5.

    Or, explain it in relational terms.  i’m dating someone new. …. where am I at in this relationship?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
