It looks like it's still not 'certain' (business case stage...), but at least it's some good news.

And we could certainly do with some more of that!

Good news > bad news.

so…. all good so far but the “ business case” , which is surely the main part, we now will wait on til mid 25 to see if it can go ahead? 

Anyone with a little more knowledge on these things want to try interpreting this? 

Yeah, nothing too serious yet until we hear "construction to start in X".

I hope the wires have been crossed somehow but talking to someone in the Premiers office and they told me that there is no way this goes ahead. I am hoping he just means there is no way they get funding from the Govt but will wait and see. 

It's fine our members are wealthy unlike Geelong who needs hundreds of millions of tax payer money.

Business cases have to go to whoever is putting the capital/funding.

Was it always the plan to get federal or state money?

Or is it purely a MFC-MRC private project? In which case there may be other stakeholders like investors.

It sounds like the locals are on board. that is an important step.

the business case is essentially how this project gets funded. The fun part! I reckon we'll need some level of state support. I just hope the govt are prepared to chip in. The coffers are not overflowing at the moment, so their support is not a given.

fingers crossed 

 

Good News    very Good News,   Demons in the Sports pages  again but for great reasons,   

It will still take time

Idk why I was expecting a little more than that. Good news that it's progressing but blimey the road is a long one.

Oh well

Feasibility is a step ahead of "concept plans"

Frankly I expected a little more after all these years

Hopefully these news at least help us to have a shot to some good recruiting in the coming trade period.

2030 at the earliest? To see the whole thing built.

Yeah that sounds about right:

2025 - funding sorted

2026-27 - design and engagement

2030 - built!!!??

I'm sure I've seen this episode of "Utopia".

"The wheels are in motion they said". I feel more confident of Babu Bhatt getting his visa application approved than the State Govt. providing funding.


Some positive news 👍

Why is there an expectation that the State Government fund this? 🫤

Surely funding comes from several sources, MFC, club donors, Vic Govt, Commonwealth Govt and the AFL??

Well within the playing careers of recent, current, and future draftees, and increasingly within the careers of future trade prospects.

This proposal (project!) might now gain a momentum governments can't passively stand in the way of with funds denial or other levers they hold (contrast airport rail link).

Where the funds do come from is another question, however.

Agree BDA getting buy in and agreement from all key stakeholders is a huge achievement, well done MFC that is a major hurdle if you pardon the pun.😁😁👍

 

When I started High School there was a ‘compulsory’ donation attached to the school fees that was directed to the building of a school hall/ theatre .

6 years later, the hall was opened, and I completed my matriculation ( HSC) just in time to never be able to take advantage of the new facility🤦‍♂️

With today’s news I’m replacing ending school with living long enough .

    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.
