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.

We have also paid for Scotland to host the commonwealth games add that to the list.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
