I’m sure the Master Planners know what they are doing, so I’m not really sure why you are worrying about this. I’m more concerned about winning the toss on Boxing Day. Have a merry Christmas Harv.

Good to see we won the toss! I wasn't worrying about it - just straightening RiF up on the fact that access to our new building would not be the existing road tunnel that takes you to the infield...

The players will either walk across the track from the planned building, or perhaps a pedestrian tunnel (more cost) under the race tracks - two tracks now of course since the new Caulfield Heath went in....

It's not wasted,  52 years ago I used it for football training    running around twice. Was enough to get nice and warm. Then play with the footballs 

Federal league well and truly gone. Someone must run around it these days,

But yes.  I think a wasted opportunity if we let it slip 

 

Also, I know a bloke who used to get a load of yabbies out of the lake...

A new road will be built not far south of the tunnel....

It was good for that as well, but at least 10 years before football

So would you like us to be running two plans simultaneously, getting two feasibility studies done, then two business plans done and then we choose the best option once both are approved? Not sure what the alternative is to going through the full process with a site, even if it isn’t guaranteed to go through.

Club announced in 2018 they were close on a site around AAMI park district which Pert was apart of, we will be the only club with no home base with bulldogs redevelopment complete & tigers on the way! It’s no wonder we struggle to attract decent free agents who would want to drive 50mins to Casey! Caulfield will be another 5 years away if it happens & yes they should have a plan B , even the Swans found a way to build a 60 mill state of the art only a few minutes away from the SCG!

I don’t think it’s fair to be putting it all on Pert for our lack of home base. This has been going on for 30+ years. The remit when he came in was probably to look at options around the MCG area, but they’ve finally accepted it wasn’t going to be possible so now we are progressing. Maybe we should’ve been looking out at Dingley or something 10 years ago, but most members/supporters would’ve scoffed at that idea. IF we get this Caulfield homebase done I think we will be the envy of all clubs, as it would be the best location in my opinion.

Well we can only hold the current board inc Pert responsible since 2018 & agree previous ones have failed but they were obsessed of having a home base around the mcg precinct which I believe stopped them from looking at other alternatives, I hope they get Caulfield but I can see stumbling blocks in funding in particular gvt $$ have dried up!

Agree, being obsessed with the MCG precinct has held us back. Fingers crossed we can get the funding needed to complete the works!

Most of the current board only joined in 2020 or after; none of the current board were there in 2018; Pert is gone

As I have previously pointed out and Demonsome and others mostly on the negative side are continually ignoring the facts about our training  location and development.

This base especially the ovals and some other facilities are not just for MFC use BUT for the local community and clubs to utilise.

Your points about Govt. funding are purely based on your considerations only include MFC. The truth is that the local community inclusion will be the reason that funding is generated for this project by a wider variety of stakeholders especially Govts of each level. 

So your doubts about funding availability are most likely very wide of the mark and inaccurate on this occasion. 

Caulfield will proceed and be our base I believe because of the strategic importance of the mix it provides all stakeholders with an elite facility for a wide variety of users for the district.

Also the AFL will be in our corner on this and they happen to need a home for the umpires and that will lead to a good AFL contribution, if that part comes to be.

Kingsley Ellis was coach,

Patrick Sheedy reserves, and I was one of pats problems,

He still remembers my face and name on the odd occasion, once with UHSOB,

Never was any good!


And many years before the football it was the yabbies,

Thought everyone knew about them in the lakes

yes  Kingsley was still there when I left to live in Frankston  Many games with Pat at Lords reserve in 68/9   Ran into him at a wedding years later.  Went to school behind where the admin building will be at Caulfield High

Are we talking Glenhuntly St Anthony's Football Club?

If so, two of my mates played there circa 1979/80.

I attended one of their Sportsman's Nights (are they still a thing?) which was hosted by Leon Weigard and featured Max Walker, big Mick Nolan and little Peter Bakos (jockey).  Huge, huge night.  Didn't make it into work the next day.

No.  Glenhuntly was in the federal league.   Their reserves and underage teams played at Lord's reserve.  St Anthony's also played at Lords Reserve but on the next oval.

Yes Lords Reserve   you could play with cows on that paddock, and there really was a brick shed, tin roof, and poor plumbing,   71, 72 and 73

I think,  the under 18 side was very good,   but not the reserves, I can still remember the great feeling walking off after a win and so many losses

I hope so mate & would love to see our home base secured once & for all 😎

Caufield currently in flames, making more room for our facilities hopefully

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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.
