Not if you're a provisional member who supports one of bigger clubs. I have quite a few friends in this position who are questioning whether to renew.

Wouldn't matter much to the MCC since there is a 25 year long waiting list of people who will willingly take their place.

I reckon with the feasibility out of the way and stakeholder consultation that we will see the Minister push this through quickly. I'm sure that the State Government are aware of how drawn out the process has been, the state of our facilities (the worst of all Victorian teams) and the impact on the club throughout this time.

I'm not sure the minister gives a rats [censored] about Melbourne any source?

She was told not to attend the announcement, though this was prior to her departure so infer from that what you will. It’s well documented that Roffey had not been a part of the negotiations for some time. 

That is simply not plausible. It makes sense that she would not attend the announcement now that she is no longer on the Board, although given how recent her departure was it is equally possible that she would be welcome for appearances' sake.

But to suggest she was told not to attend while she remained president of the club, and was seemingly to remain so for the indefinite future defies logic.

The Whateley interview brought her undone, but prior to that she was evidently manoeuvring to add Steve Smith to the board with a view to him succeeding her as president. Had the interview not taken place she would still be president. To announce a major club initiative with the president absent is crazy and as I said above, your post beggars belief.

Would be fantastic to train near the umpires.

The personal relationships we could build with them wouldn't go astray.

Plus we would have a leg up to see first hand what umpires are practising to know all rule change updates and get ahead of the “rule of the week”

Good. They are welcome to bugger off and to stop diluting the Melbourne factor. Ring-ins and JC Latelys should be subordinate to Dees fans.

It still not clear why the mcc would be investing in the Caulfield redevelopment. What benefit are they getting? 

Maybe the new Caufied facilities will house other MCC sports as well as footy?

agreed

doing that interview was so unnecessary and nothing good ultimately came from it

MFC have been promised that there will be an ex-Pert barrista working in the KRoffey Shop.

Hopefully the announcement happens when we're on page 186.

What's wrong with page 182, the current one?

If the announcement is tomorrow, page 189 would be more appropriate.

I suspect where the MCC has been included is an error and the MFC should replace it. Makes more sense and is quite possible in advice or posting this occurred. 

Willing to be corrected and no knowledge in this matter.

Unfortunately not as I have no idea, but I am certainly looking forward to it being announced and made official.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    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
