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

Probably let them train there full time too.

Ha ha CCC doesn’t have the same ring Or history of MCC.!!

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?

So it won't be called the Kate Roffey Centre?

How about Perts 2-in-1 Centre?

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.

The Taylor-made menu will feature Spit On The Lamb served with Greens.

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

Nope community sporting groups and other community activities.

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

Please don’t put up the picture of the scoreboard for those that don’t get the link to this number 😔

I’d say it’s more because MCC members have reciprocal membership to the VRC and MRC

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.
