It's going to be a long summer...

When does the footy start?

Please!

You mean a furlong summer

 

The tail of which track. In hindsight, we should have got on the favourite, and not a bet each way, no more horse feathers. Now we are on the home straight, with our noses in front. Saddle up, we have been taken on a ride, can see the finish line, and are running on strong. We flogged the dead horse many times, the blinkers are off. We now know it was not a sprint, but an endurance race. Go you good thing!

I was listening to SEN on my way to the beach yesterday afternoon. Mr. Kanga, newly minted MRC chairman was being interviewed. Was certainly not enthused with the idea of the Demons moving into the precinct but was guarded in his comments and I got the impression from his comments that both the Scopus acquisition and MFC had been in the pipeline for quite some time and were well advanced. I suspect some had suggested to him to tone down the rhetoric.

BTW, the bay was quite nice, sea temps fairly warm for December 👌

Is that his real name?

Asking for a friend (8yo me)

He shortened it from Kangalaris. If he was in the North Melbourne cheer squad I might smile, he isn't. It just sounds tacky to me.

Anyone read this? Bloody terrible article and opinion piece. Peter Ryan is very condescending throughout, didn’t think he was like that.

He lost me when he said the ten Victorian clubs have all had their fair share of government funding.

WTF?

Not having any of Hawthorns sloppy seconds. Ryan must be a mate of Kanga’s too.

Along with the Saints, Waverley was Hawthorns home ground. We have no affiliation with that bog mire. Our former zone and heartland is around the Caulfield/Glen Iris/Bentleigh area.

Throw in that Waverley is now seriously outdated with only the 1 oval, we’d be limiting ourselves the moment we moved in. Would rather stay at Gosch’s than move there.

Caulfield or nothing

If Waverly is so good why are the Hawks vacating?

How could Ryan write an article encouraging us to move to that [censored] hole ground and not mention the worst football experience many of us have had - the 1987 preliminary?

Mind boggling.

As is this line:

'Waverley Park is also close enough to Melbourne’s traditional zones to enable their supporters to watch training and socialise at the club.'

I mean, is he serious?

60 years after the VFL built that monument to stupidity there is still no decent public transport out there and it's in a Bermuda triangle for roads.

[censored] off Ryan.

He doesn't really explain why MtScopus acquisition is a problem, just seems to imply that it is.

One oval, and cannot use lights to train under in winter…..what a rubbish idea. No improvement over Gosch’s and AAMI..

Downgrade on Gosch's, which you can at least get to by PT.

I’m sitting on a train passing through Caulfield as we speak. This is a perfect location for a training base. So accessible. 

Ahhh, this thread is again 'On Track' !!! 😉


A few of my favorite snippets:

Re: Waverley: “The ground is pristine, players don’t complain about being there..”

“ the region was going to be the centre of Melbourne by now, so you could argue, on that basis, the club would be, eventually, home.”

“the Demons would need to swallow their ego to approach the Hawks, as it might initially look as though they are getting a hand-me-down, however it wasn’t a problem when Jordan Lewis arrived.”

Is this guy serious? Haha honestly his arguments sound like he’s trying to convince himself that this was an article worth writing. Probably his last piece for the year and he’s just phoned it in!

You forgot to mention it’s 20 mins closer to Casey than goschs. A real game changer

I'm all for lateral thinking but Ryan's article really takes the biscuit. 

 

Waverley Park is inferior to Gosch's Paddock/AAMI: centrality, transport links and scope for improvement (Melb Rebels are no more and Melb Storm are moving to a new facility).

1. Caulfield;

2. Gosch's/AAMI;

3. Daylight;

4. Hawks hand me down in Mulgrave.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    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.
