Training Ground?

So much for the feasibility case. It is probably stored along side the football department review file at the end of last season.

We now have a proposed new site, with different building limitations or opportunities. And it seems nothing is going to happen until we get the new CEO through the door. Back to square one. At least the proposed location hasn’t changed.

If this ever gets off the ground perhaps the players can spend the 2 hours spent in their cars getting to and from Casey for each training session practicing goal kicking!!

    I’m sure once we finally get to the stage where we just need to find the $ to get it going, many will contribute……some very generously.

    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.

    Serious board and personell issues and an historical we are better than the rest attitude

    It's a moribund club with an inflated perception of its relevance

    People won't stump up because deep down nobody trusts the boys running the club

    this club is so cooked, this training base situation is our number one priority right now even over our goal kicking and countless over issues why are they doing this?

    Our Number one Priority should always be winning games.

    That’s the main issue with this Club, Side issues take priority far too often…

    once we sort this bs our results will follow on and off the field 110% !! maybe we say F it and go to waverley until it’s sorted out if this goes to sh.t cause it’s looking very much that way now :/

    Essendrug have been really successful since moving to The Hanger… not.

    It’s important but not the be all and end all.

    If we concentrated solely on winning games, this issue would have been sorted already…

    Unbelievable can see this falling over, it’s just all too hard and hinged on too many variables, so a decade since P Jackson took over we are no closer! If any site is based on gvt funding who are in do much debt good luck

    Lots of talk about if Goodwin is still the right guy on Demonland and understandable given our current on field plights. I would have zero confidence in this club finding anyone better than Goodwin right now.

    I would love to know what exactly Pert has been doing and how much it’s cost us. I also wouldn’t be surprised if Guerra doesn’t end up working for us. Right now we are a basket case on and off field.

    If premiership cups where given for best leakers of information in the league we'd win every year. But wouldn't have anywhere to display them unfortunately

    You do you @jackaub , but getting a home base built is bigger than any personnel grievances one might have with the club.

    With todays announcement obviously not with some of the good old boys at the club. Its gotta be some ort of joke

    Can someone with a better idea of corporate governance tell me why we would stop Guerra negotiating ahead of starting with us? On the surface it looks like it’s doing nothing but slowing things down but maybe there’s something Im missing?

    At first glance I think it’s being very conservative on conflict of interest - negotiating with the MRC whilst being very involved in the industry.

    For me, I think it better be declare the conflict and relevant details then get going. They can publish his diary in relation to relevant meetings in the interests of transparency and brief details of the meetings which are relevant.

    On the other hand if he doesn’t start till Sept oughtn’t be be precluded from any work before then since he’s not an employee yet?

    Guerra has a massive commitment overseeing the World Chamber of Commerce Conference (or whatever it is) event to be hosted by Melbourne Chamber of Commerce. I suspect the MFC has deferred his involvement in the Caulfield Racecourse developments (or is keeping him at arms length) until he is clear of this. But if you wanted to write a sensationalist article, you could frame it as The Age has.

    As Superunknown has suggested, there may be other complicating things in play too.

    As Garry Lyon has stated more than once, we sooo need to ferret out the leaks in this club.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
