So, the name of our new facility is sewn up, then.

No, but I can see a big possibility for the Redleg Urinal.

    Just to provide an alternative view, they may have a very good idea of where the funding is coming from already without having it formalised in a business plan. They are probably in the process of getting the different parties to sign off on agreements of funding, to then finalise the business case.

    Yes that is a possibility, but I can only judge them based on what is known, not what is supposed.

    But nothing is known, so we are both speculating.

    All we know is a feasibility plan has been ticked off and now they are working on a business plan. So you’re being a pessimist saying it won’t go ahead and I’m being an optimist.

    I was listening to SEN on my way to the beach yesterday afternoon. Mr. Kanga, newly minted MRC chairman was being interviewed. Was certainly not enthused with the idea of the Demons moving into the precinct but was guarded in his comments and I got the impression from his comments that both the Scopus acquisition and MFC had been in the pipeline for quite some time and were well advanced. I suspect some had suggested to him to tone down the rhetoric.

    BTW, the bay was quite nice, sea temps fairly warm for December 👌

    As a tenant he does need to reign it in, otherwise the MRC might find they lose access to the Caulfield Racecourse for race days.

    1966-1970 I did honours Matriculation, meaning I failed the first go, as I only sat for 2 subjects, English and Music.

    I was playing in bands and heading the wrong way, but my Parents intervened and life took a u-turn.

    Cheers Redleg, my dad would have been there the same time 🙂

    He also did Matriculation, only ever wanted to do Architecture at uni but the marks weren't high enough first time round.

    Can you provide a summary for us cheap asses….

    School will work with the MFC to help the MFC get what it wants.

    There was also a bit about despite the Chairman’s dog walking, the MRC is working closely with the MFC.

    Second article saying the project could be finished by 2028 and club has had feasibility approved and has moved to funding stage.

    It is happening and hopefully finished in 4 years maybe less.

    I’d be very surprised if it was done by 2028…. But would be ecstatic if it was. I just can’t wait for the day they announce everything has been signed off and it will be going ahead…. Will have a few drinks to celebrate

    I just realized I am in a pretty unique situation in this project.

    I am a MFC member of about 50 years and former Executive Director of the Club, among other roles.

    I am a Life Governor and member of the Foundation of Mt. Scopus College, with grand children attending the school. I am not a former student, as I went to Melbourne High School, which I am incidentally also a Life member of the MHSOBA ( the old boys association ).

    I am also a member of the MRC and part owner of racehorses, including one running in the last race at Caulfield this saturday, which I hope doesn't " clam up " ( a hint as to which horse ).

    I will see if I can engage any of the Committee for some info on Saturday, in the winner's room hopefully, after winning the last race.🤞

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
