It’s possible the design has partly commenced the staring point is to know where all existing drainage lines are and what direction it runs. Presumably into those old ponds that were there 50 years ago.

All old stuff needs to be deactivated and the new work placed Then the top levels can begin. It is not rocket scientist stuff.

    Plan B if Caufield somehow falls over sounds like there has been a decent setback.

    Set back or not, Waverley is a better location than driving to Casey twice a week, so go for it... even if it's temporary

    Totally agree, and allows the admin to be located in the same building as the players.

    Ought to be part of plan A ...

    Caulfield, I wouldn’t think , to be available for 3/4 years. So in the meantime why not utilise Waverley??

    I called Waverley as an option years ago and got shot down on here.

    Agree. You don't send the incoming president, CEO and vice captain to Waverley as part of the 'design process' for Caulfield. It just doesn't make much sense given the unique residential layout/build of Waverley.

    I think (and am hoping) that they considering Waverley as a temporary home while Caulfield progress over the next 3-5 years. These things always take longer than anticipated so it would be a smart move if it is financially viable to execute without jeopardising Caufield.

    Well you would. You’d want a players point of view about things that are important and aren’t, facilities wise.

    Waverley would be an interim location while Caulfield gets built is my understanding

    It cuts the to and fro from two locations

    Happy to be corrected

    Agree that a player's perspective would be important in the facilities design but then Waverley would be an interesting first location for such research given the many other superior facilities. You may be right though and this is one of many facilities that the Dees crew visit or at least the first which is public knowledge. I was just speculating but of course time will tell.

    Caulfield has always been a swindle, now pushed between a car park and the pokies that we sold them from Bentleigh.

    It’s been a bust from day one.

    Just rent Waverley as a stop gap. Get the admin and footy department at one location. Half the drive from the city. Sort out Caufield in the background.

    It will make us instantly more appealing as a club.

    Agree. It definitely is an improvement in the interim and a plan B option.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
