Has anybody noticed that our performance at the MCG seems to have improved significantly since Gosch’s Paddock was resized to match the MCG? Would this make any difference? I guess it can’t hurt, but there are undoubtedly several factors at play…

    Certainly can't hurt. There would be some kind of compounding effect training on it week after week as well.

    Any further news about a Home Base in Caulfield?

    Thought I should ask as it is something I am extremely passionate about in regards to our beloved Melbourne Football Club finally having a proper Home Base.

    I noticed this article about Hawthorn's trials and tribulations building their (3rd!) new home base in Dingley. Not that I have much sympathy for them! 😒

     

    Here is the link to the article: https://www.afl.com.au/news/1031238/hawthorn-hawks-committed-to-new-base-despite-woes-main-contender-emerges-for-ceo-role

     

    Anyway, fingers crossed we hear some good news soon about what is happening regarding our home base at Caulfield Racecourse? 🤞

    ive finally updated my technology and am able to comment again.

    i have followed tis discussion for some time and am an unashamed supporter of Fishermans Bend location.

    As a proposed development area with an existing development board and proposed public transport there are many attractions 

    If you havent been down there just do yourself a favour and drive around the total area and then look at a map to see the obvious potential.

    I have thought of gathering a team of Demonland expertise to prepare a briefing paper for a community entertainment facility incorporating a training ground, all gymnasium and associated football requirements including an administration centre. With theatre spaces for cinema as well live streaming of away matches this could be a site for members when the MCG is full at finals time.

    Anyone wanting to contribute thoughts feel free to go for it.

    Fishermen's Bend is as far away from the demon supporter base as is Casey. To me it feels like another heartless Docklands.  Sorry it is a No from me.

    Again, why does it matter that it is away from the ‘supporter base’? You’re not welcome there outside of open trainings ahead of our patented straight sets exit from finals.

    Correct, port melb vfl ground is ripe for development same theme song almost same colours … very tricky with our alignment with Casey..  would need to be a standalone but plenty of room. FB will be a new suburb but it’s attached to old port melb that’s the difference…

    Huh?! Fisherman's Bend?

    I thought we are now fully investigating the option of the Caulfield Racecourse for the Melbourne Football Club's Home Base?

    Anyway, I guess we should hopefully hear some news at the upcoming Melbourne Football Club's AGM?

    The matter of our Home Base should be at the top of our agenda.

    We’ve waited so long, it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that we’ll have Caulfield Racecourse as our eastern base, with FB as our western one 😁

    If we had a proper home base we wouldn't go out in straight sets, we'd be the undefeated champions of the universe!

    Rubbish So if we had a home base  since 1964 we would be leading the AFL/VFL Premiership winners on about  20 flags.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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 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?
