We have waited a long time for this Facility Old Dee we maybe further down the track than we know. I think it is time for us all to sit back and enjoy the ride at least we now know where it will be.👍

You would want to hope that we are 😉

Would be nice to have a home.....again

Are you sure Deezone, you seem convinced this will happen. The longer it goes without any decision the more I am concerned it will not get approval.

There are a couple of posters on DLand that have remained positive throughout the process so I am sticking with them and I believe that they will leave the announcements to our new CEO.

Agree 100% deezone. However as far as this project is concerned it is concerning that the length of time this is taking just to get approval. With every passing day I get the feeling it is not going to happen. I know the wheels of democracy grind slowly but this is glacial.

oh, i don't know od. the wheels of democracy have stated the suburban loop is scheduled to complete by 2053 (assuming no delays 😉)

No way on Waverely. If not good enough for Hawks why good enough for us.

And their training oval is surround by residences who have a bird's eye view of the ground and everything we do.

And once we move there we will never get our home base. The likes of Hutchy and Wakeley will campaign against us moving out just as they are campaigning for us move in

I don't know what their agenda's are but I really hope our Board doesn't make another knee-[censored] decision.

And maybe if we get someone like Buckley who by accepting the appointment has no qualms going to Casey it may reduce the angst others have.

They are campaigning for Eddie to get his way given hutchy owes him so much

And we thought we had training ground problems

In the NRL the Roosters and Rabbitohs are having an all out war it seems....

South Sydney have now asked the NSWRL to reconsider its position and believes the Roosters junior representative program is an extension of the junior league.

The Rabbitohs are arguing that their juniors are being enticed to join the Roosters because of the convenience of having the training facility in their area.

The Roosters have provided $200,000 of funding to provide lighting and improve the school’s sporting facilities.

The Rabbitohs have submitted a formal application to have the Roosters banned from training in their backyard and are awaiting a response from the NSWRL.

The references are to the junior teams

How can that stand at Punt Road not have a heritage protection?

Wasn't that a major hang up for them?

Honestly, good for Richmond. Heritage listings are too often used to negate progress. There's no reason a rotten grand stand no one can even use needs to be kept around.

Unless it’s restored or you like a corrugated shed that is painted black and yellow. I know my preference.

It’s not about aesthetics, it’s about functionality. Which the Jack Dyer Stand was never going to be again.

It’s about history and preserving that. Lest we never forget….

So the MCG should never had any of its stands rebuilt because that history is more important than having a functional, modern, safe stadium.

There is a place for heritage listings and there are times where the value of preserving something completely dysfunctional becomes a burden. Richmond can make a little museum to the history of their ground in a hallway in their newly developed facilities. Society can’t be built on historical artefacts that do nothing but take up space and decay.

Equating Punt Road with the MCG is ludicrous. One is a world class multi purpose stadium, the other is not.

It’s a stadium that is being used to play professional matches in multiple competitions as well as functioning as a training ground for those competitions. It requires an upgrade to serve its purpose and the Jack Dyer stand was impossible to restore. Knocking it down was the right decision.

Other than AFLW, VFL and a paddock for the RFC to run around in, I fail to see why the need to pull down a beautiful building. There many other stadiums for said leagues to play professional football.

Why was it impossible? Greater buildings have been restored.

If this were true we wouldn’t have spent half a century looking for a training ground.

You chastise me for comparing punt road with the mcg only to come up with this.

  • 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.
