and unexpected setback from here for it not to come to fruition”

    There was also a bit about despite the Chairman’s dog walking, the MRC is working closely with the MFC.

    Second article saying the project could be finished by 2028 and club has had feasibility approved and has moved to funding stage.

    It is happening and hopefully finished in 4 years maybe less.

    That is frikn wonderful news.

    It's Crown land, MRC don't control it and would have known about this for some time. If they had a major say this would have been stopped some time ago imo. Feasability is done. Is Kanga trying to extract some benefit to appease the MRC so as to gain its support l wonder? Maybe the dog walkers can use the track given its rarely used if he is so concerned ... not

    Vacant land, 8km from the CBD isn’t going to stay that way for long. Glen eira council has the least amount of parkland in any Victorian Council. The deal is done. Well done to the MFC for jumping onto this initiative. Kudos to kate and Gary pert

    I have always thought that if the Dees can pull off a training base at Caulfield that would be an amazing outcome. Relatively close to the city, near train and tram lines, located in a historic MFC metropolitan recruiting zone (so there actually is a local history and connection there) and consequently already has a strong local following in nearby suburbs.

    This will be as important as the 2021 flag in re-establishing the Demons as a real force in footy again.

    Should not overlook the marketing possibilities and connection with the other nearby neighbour, Monash University (Caulfield Campus). It is a chance to cultivate potential new supporters amongst international students.

    100% agree. I personally think this is better than the MCG precinct as it will enable a stronger community feel in the Glen Eira area. It is also close to a lot of suburbs you would imagine would be desirable for an AFL player to live given their increasing salaries.

    Yes, indeed. 😎👍🏻

    Building a Home Base in the Demons traditional "Homeland" and old recruiting zone makes perfect sense.

    It will also benefit the local community in the Glen Eira area.

    The big challenge now will be getting the $100-$120 million dollars we need to build the Home Base.

    A lot of them seem to live in East Bentleigh, where we are. I always see Melbourne and Collingwood players at the local supermarket and on Mackie Road.

    • 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?
