Why would you go to Waverly?. even temporarily.

1. Hawthorn are still there

2. You cannot train at night, because the locals won't allow lights

3. Facilities are already at AAMI.....same as what the Hawks have at Waverley, so what's the advantage ....except when we get shunted during the Australian Open.

4. Waverley has a single oval, same as Gosch's

5. If you go to Waverley, might as well keep going to Casey.

Hawks were able to win 4 flags inc a 3 peat team using, imagine having the whole club under 1 roof, able to park and watch training

So the Dees camp out at Waverley temporarily whilst Punt Road is being developed and the Tigers then use Gosch's Paddock? 🤔

I would expect us to be at Caulfield within 2 years of announcing the go ahead.

have you that past the cfmeu?

Does the spat inside the MR affect us? Their massive debts, their revolving door CEOs, the chairman issues??

If anything offering a stable long term tenancy without the drama of the MRC should make us an appealing prospect for the Trust. Surely they look at the MRC and think what are these muppets doing.

Move some VFL/AFLW games to Port Melbourne, Caulfield will be constructed 6 months ahead of schedule 😁

Of course it will affect our club, our new neighbours, gambling on horses.

“Our new ground will be ready two years after it is announced”…

True. The only hassle is the car park we want to build on is currently leased by the MRC.

Wouldn’t think so.

Mind blowing the oldest club in the AFL doesn’t have a home and doesn’t appear to be close.

Not good enough.

I haven't missed the facepalm emoji but this screams out for its restoration.

Well that aligns with something I was told recently.

Apparently as of the 1st of December (which is when the senior players return for preseason) *Gosch’s will no longer be used for training and Waverley will be the venue instead.

This isn’t official yet but that’s purported to be the plan.

This arrangement will run for approximately two years which is when they expect Caulfield to be completed.

Again, not official. Just something I was told, then this morning I was told similar by a different person.

If the training at Waverley news is true, Kev and I will no longer be able to furnish training reports. It’s not just the distance to travel, it’s the fact that the new regime is looking to have closed sessions only, like at Casey.

I believe currently Waverley is open to spectators but that’s nothing some temporary fencing can’t solve.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see 🤷‍♀️

Maybe look at the Real Estate website to see which properties on the boundary might be up for rent in the interim! Kidding of course.

Well Demonland should probably band together and chip in to rent one of those flats that overlook for ghosty so she can do her reports

But there’s also Kev, Slarti and Harvey Wallbanger. It would have to have at least four bedrooms coz as much as I love them I ain’t sharing a room with any of them 😝

Not much of a yard, but there is a deck off the two lower floor bedrooms. Actually, that floorplan is a really weird layout..... It is a 4 bedroom though, if you sacrifice the upstairs family room to a bedroom. Just doesn't have a door.

So is Waverley an option until Caulfield is built in 2040

The mind boggles, absolutely.

The reports would be interesting, even those about training.....

Yes. That Dees contingent including Steven Smith, Steven King, Jack Viney, Brad Green, Alan Richardson and Paul Guerra that toured Waverely a few months back was for a push to be put there for the foreseeable future to have everyone under one roof until Caulfield is built.

As long as the reports are on my desk by 4pm it’s all good. Sharing a house with a person called Wallbanger might be a challenge though.

Great, so another 2 months

I believe the entire project should be able to be completed in 2 years of the announcement.

Assuming we get that at the AGM, I would hope it’s ready by the 2028 pre season.
