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

Aren't they going to reuse elements and materials from the old Jack Dyer stand in the new stand? If it is well designed and executed with taste it could be a win for new modern facilities with a nod to its history as well. Lets see what it looks like when finished.

    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.

    Our challenge has not been to do with Heritage overlays but rather trees and dog walkers, both of which seem to be more difficult to circumnavigate.

    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

    ...and some people want to go back to zones.

    The sooner we move on ridding ourselves of academies & F & S the better.

    The moral of that story was to point out your dribble. 💩💩

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

    It was, then it wasn't. Then the National Trust came in and tried to stop Richmond knocking it down.

    But Richmond starting talking about it helping local community, women's football, indigenous groups and foundations and it was a battle they'd never win.

    Happened to be in the committee room at Caulfied yesterday when J Kanga, during a pre-lunch speech, said in the future at Caulfied, there will be the MRC, and there will also be the MFC. I nearly fell off my chair. No details were given, he was just addressing his Demons loving mate at the time who I think heads up Mornington race track. My wife had to assure me l wasn't hearing things. Unfortunately didn't speak to him in person but hey, maybe things are well progressed like a couple on here have mentioned???

    No need to, as they own their land on the West side of the course and the Dees will be on Crown land on the South East Corner and also with an oval or two in the middle of the track, also on Crown land.

    The school and the MFC are in total alignment and that is from the horse’s mouth .

    I heard from senior execs at MRC a while back (1 year +) that the MRC and trust were all good with MFC coming on board but the dees just had to stump up the cash. “Someone needs to help pay for the new grandstand” was the comment (or along those lines).

    That's good news if the MRC are OK with us - however it's a hollow comment, as they have no say in our project. Our plan does not involve any money for building grandstands for the MRC. The MFC plan does not envisage any grandstands at all - because our ovals are inside the track.

    Selling the stables land to the school has achieved that.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
