Watching the Bulldogs game. Looks like the Ballarat stadium is getting expanded?

GMHBA aka Taxpayer stadium 2.0?

    Need somewhere to put the crumbs first. How about we wait to see what transpires mid year when the next stage of the Caulfield project is due to be announced.

    I wouldn’t be comparing stadiums, community assets, Western oval, Ballarat, and Geelong, to a couple of ovals in the middle of a city racetrack.

    Another use for Caulfield.

    Umpires also need a home.

    probably need to build 4 ovals in that case! - got to be at least 2 or 3 out-of-state teams per week coming to Melb.

    In terms of co-funding at the Caulfield site, I'd be looking at a partnership with Monash Uni, much like the Swinburne partnership with Richmond and the Deakin partnership with Geelong.

    One level could be used by Monash during non training days for their sports science students.

    These assets, outside of admin and footy department, would be dormant for large periods of the week and could be used by Monash if we stuck their logo on there and accessed further funding with the partnership.

    It's just a matter of putting forward a strong enough case.

    Dogs do the same with Victoria University at Whitten Oval, ATG.

    They all don’t need to train at the same time and they were talking about the Perth teams and only one here on a weekend at best. So 1hr session easy to accomodate on 2 ovals.

    • 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.
