    Talk about a disconnect eg Roffey and the board in an another building .. may be 1% but they all count … this no home base and under the same roof.. I wet to a work seminar at a function room at Carlton .. you walk in and see their premiership cups and watch the team train … all under 1 roof! This everlasting saga, honestly find a solution & get out of the 50 min drive to Casey 

    You saw for yourself, it is a nice set up at Parc de Princes. I look my son there for an open training session the Saturday before last, eating almond croissants, sipping on a capuccino, the sunshine rays reflecting from 17 Premiership cups in the foyer ... from the window you can watch the players training in the gym and on the oval doing drills ... 💙😁

    Seriously, this is something the Dees should aspire to, a real home where all parts of the club can live under one roof and fans can visit to help deepen the connection with their club.

    just looking at some university club football facilities and think the club should definitely include an indoor trading ground, and the screen graphics above the player lockers

    we could put our facility in a tunnel somewhere between Cheltenham and Box Hill - no apparent shortage of funding there

    Talk about money being burnt, meanwhile the airport link is nowhere to be seen. A project that is 100 times more necessary and 100 times cheaper than the stupid SRL.

    Here's an idea.

    If there is no public funding just sell the naming rights to a big corporation.

    The "Red Bull Ron Barrasi High Performance Centre". 😄

    And the training ovals can also have some naming rights sold, the Norm Smith Oval by Zurich.

    17 Carlton Premiership trophies:

    1906, 1907, 1908, 1914, 1915, 1938, 1945, 1947, 1968, 1970, 1972, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1987, 1995.

    They are on display in the foyer of the club at Princes Park. Also has some displays of club history, old guernseys from different eras etc. There is a cafe there as well (1864 Cafe). It is quite well done 👌

    ...and Hawthorn have been fundraising for this for the past couple of years.  

    What have we been doing in preparation? 

    Nothing. 

    Imagine how much would have been contributed by our members post Premiership toward a future base fund.  

    In typical Melbourne style they will hit up the same supporters they always do and tell them, as they always do, that they will be recognized and be part of a group that will have their name on a plaque in the entrance hall. There are only so many times you can go to the well before it dries up.

    We have been talking about a training facility for as long as I can remember and will be in another 10 years. Let's just accept the facts that it will never happen. We have had many different Boards; they have all promised the same thing and it's all pie in the sky [censored].

    I've heard some suggestions from time to time that sounded ok, but they've never come to anything. 

    We've blown it, we needed to get in and grab some cash form the State Government, but surprise, surprise, there isn't any left and won't be for at least another 20 years.

    Do they have a large paper bag in the trophy cabinet?

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
