Can someone explain the benefits of all under one roof mantra? I know it sounds good but what will be the tangible benefits, what were the burning problems? Macca has emphasised the better playing surface and the better viewing areas. Given our coaches have locked the gates during training at Casey for years I am not sure anyone will be necessarily getting a welcome at Waverley training.

I reckon that was another reason the Hawks moved (they couldn't have closed sessions)

Where as we can still have closed sessions at Casey if we choose to. That's the luxury of having 2 decent venues

I'm wondering whether we could ever have closed sessions at Caulfield as the surrounds etc is public land

Are we moving out of the MCG totally? Will the Demon Shop be out there?

Having the head office at the G then 2 seperate training venues, AAMI park may be over the footbridge but may as well be other side of town… they are not connected, it dosent guarantee you success but if you want evidence have a a look the last 2 seasons with Roffey radio interview its seems she never left the G and so disconnected front the Trac injury, the interview with Pert & Goodwin re culture issues …

I find it odd that this comes up only hours after Guerra essentially said we wouldn’t consider a Waverley move until Caufield was sorted. Some misalignment or just bad communication?

Is this his way of saying Caulfield is done wothout saying it directly.

I'm confused. Will the Casey VFL team and Melbourne AFLW teams be playing games at Waverley Park now? Isn't it surrounded by houses instead of stands? How is it fit for official matches? And how can Casey play in Waverley? Not great for the City of Casey. Am I missing something?

No, it’s the club that’s missing something…

The level of self-delusion here is startling.

It’s bordering on fan fiction.

‘No, no, they can’t be incompetent and misaligned… it’s actually 4D chess and they have already done it twice over. Yes, that’s it.’

the dilemna

waverley is a step forward from what we have now, but it doesn't satisfy all our needs

waverley is also a step backwards in strengthening our quest for caulfield which could satisfy more of our needs

No, they won't be playing games at Waverley...yes, you're missing something.
