Dingley looks ok, you may even walk in and have a grand stand to sit in.

Maybe a cool drink

Don't be trying to make sense to the extreme MFCSS crew.

Gill the Dill being pushed to replace Craig Tiley at Tennis Australia. If this happens I wonder what that means for out tenancy at AAMI/gosch's and will that open up better funding pathways to 'pay' us to move out towards caulfield for Tennis Australia to gain even more land in the precinct.... and probably help collingwood gain their second oval as well

I know where you are coming from Beelzebub who would want to relocate from the G to Waverley. I’m with WayneWussell dig in, stay at Gosh’s until Caulfield is Signed, Sealed and Delivered, then we move. Are AFL trying to get our Head Office out of the G??

Caulfield WILL NOT HAPPEN! Take Waverley and upgrade!

Upgrade? Waverley is severely land locked and limited in upgrade potential. If it could’ve been done so adequately, the Hawks would’ve.

Would much rather stay at Gosch’s than move to Waverley. I’d only accept a temporary stay there whilst our new HQ is being built.

There's no way to upgrade to a state of the art facility, it's why the Hawks left. If this is our solution then Guerra needs to go before he loses us the only leverage we have which I feel might be Gosch's. That's if in fact we actually need leverage, Caulfield may well still be progressing.

Plenty of 2 hour parking in the side streets around school near the Botanical, or it's $1 an hour on Alexander. Won't Caulfield be similar.

Plenty of parking on site at Caulfield, south side. Plus Glenhuntly Station parking just round the corner, and a Woolies car park just a bit further.

Stuff that, we should all apply. Surely one of us will get the job given how incompetent management at Caulfield seems to be

Bulldogs territory, surely!

But impressive if the Ballarat oval retains its sponsor that long...

Remind me when Caulfield became the number 1 option? Can't recall when we moved on from the Yarra Park car park alternative which IIRC was the last seriously considered option. Must have been pre-2023

We need an update from the club on where this all sits before our 1st round game

Do not hold your breath. Those that have some contacts say it is all in the hands of the state government. A government that is broke and an election in November. I don’t see this as high on their agenda. No votes in giving money to the MFC in fact it could be the reverse.

Fantastic...

Would it be the worst idea to fully develop Casey as or elite sports complex, and still have Goshes as a second base?

It’s my understanding that Paul Guerra sits on the board of racing Victoria and may not take part in any commercial in confidence meetings on behalf of the Melbourne football club.

Not a bad idea at all. Casey has the grounds, not bad facilities I believe (what would I know from Qld) and really is only 45-60 minutes from the city. Look at the Lions winning the last 2 flags and train out in the bush around 40 minutes from Brisbane CBD. Would not cost much to get it up to elite standard.

Hope Caulfield happens sooner than later but Casey could be a good option. Remember when I was living down there, Lilydale was in the bush where my Nan lived and now is basically an inner suburb.

That was never a serious option.
