I am not too fussed if the Melbourne Demon's Home Base is moved to a better location within the Caulfield Racing Course precinct. If it means more room for us then that's a good thing.

My biggest concern is raising the $100 million or so that we need to get the Home Base actually built!

I'm sure the govoverspend erahas ended

Nothing in it for politicians

Free money no more

Think it would have been nice if the president emailed members to update them of the change in plan, rather than us read speculation in the media.

Green has been pretty email happy all year, but silent on this.

i hope he is out finding or organising a specialist goal kicking goal instead of enjoying the bye week like the players

Hopefully Penelope recognises us when we finally reach home.

But do we have a Telemachus among us?

we will probably get bitten by the family dog. Agro (sic) mutt.

TBH I prefer the new location, as others have said it is closer to (my) home. Not sure where the go to coffee shop is. The ones in Glen Huntly rd are ok (faint praise that).

The new site is larger and easier to access. The original site would be surrounded by Mt Scopus which I imag

The Workshop cafe in Glen Huntly does a decent shakshuka and coffee IIRC

paul roos on the abc afl daily podcast said the facilities that a club has doesn't actually make a huge difference in terms of the team's preparation or ability to attract / retain players

he compared the elite single facility that the swans have with the shared / far-flung mfc ones, and said he was 'pleasantly surprised' how good our facilities were, albeit shared and spread over such significant distances from the city to casey

He can't be serious. Their taxpayer funded HQ only opened a couple of years ago, complete with an altitude training room with 45 wattbikes.

There is nothing at Casey or AAMI that gets close to it. Has he seen both club facilities recently?

It's a tough one. We've got plenty who are good with butcher's knives but arrows?

I'd probably just give the bow to someone like Langford.

Note the very last line of the article advises that Gary Pert is no longer a consultant on this project....

Good riddance. Both him and Roffey were brought on for their facilities ‘expertise’, yet both have gone and we’re no closer to a solution.

Remind me again what either actually did at the club, apart from riding the coattails of their respective predecessors?

If that's the case and the Government has tightend the purse strings, then we will need to do another Fund-raising campaign.

The rank-and-file members can only contribute so much. However, the wealthier Melbourne supporters like Chris Barlow (who is a Board member) and others should hopefully be able to contribute significantly.

I think raising $100 million dollars is achievable. But it's certainly tough!

This will be incoming CEO David Guerra's ultimate challenge. Get the Demon's Home Base finally built!

It sounds like from the age article we haven’t even raised enough $$ to start the conversation

As per Niall’s series of articles in Ninefax about the monied movers and shakers, our supporter base does not put their money where their support lays; the rich don’t stay so by giving their money away

Not always so. Look what Pratt did at Carlton. I’m sure there’s many more examples.

The Mrs doesnt like their coffee.

I go to the Servery, opposite the station for 2 reasons. 1. Coffee and service are good and you can get away from the take away traffic and 2. if they see me going elsewhere they would probably beat me with a stick.

You're not going to get anyone much anteing up any $$$ until there's actually something to show ..I.e. firm plans and costs.

So far all just pie in the sky glossy pictures.

Just sayin'

He said what he said. Maybe because he was a footy coach and not training the Soudal Quick-step team to challenge Tadej Pogacar on the Col du Galibier…

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
