This seems like a pretty half-arsed result to me, if you'd even call it a result

Half an [censored] is better than none, especially if you're at an [censored]-kicking party.

Some significant development. 

Can someone give summary, it's paywall.

In another big win for the Demons, the club has secured State Government funding which should help kickstart the development of a new home in the city.

Melbourne has secured State Government funding to upsize its training oval at Gosch’s Paddock as part of plans to develop a new home base in the city.

The Demons have been hampered in recent years by the small size of their oval, which chief executive Gary Pert recently dubbed a “junior-size football oval”.

But in a win for the club, talks with Government this year have helped secure the funds to increase the width and length to AFL-standard size.

 

Fantastic news. Movement finally. 2021 shaping up as a very good year for the club


Great news! 35 years in the making

 

Announcement at 11, apparently.


Waiting and seeing. Hopefully more to this than what has been mentioned in the lead up.

Gonna beat the buzzer here. AAMI Park is being extended to accommodate the womens football world cup in 2023. Once that is over, a portion of the upgraded facility will be handed to us along with the bigger oval. Should result in our own gym, rooms, etc.

Bigger oval as in MCG size or Docklands size?

Marvel size unfortunately...

Is it no coincidence that as soon as Bartlett leaves we've made signsignificant inroads regarding this? I believe Roffey had a strong relationship with the state government around this whereas Bartlett didn't?

Roffey and Pert may just be bigger recruits then what Roos and Jackson were.

Significant milestone in our club history ??

Is this clumsy from Browne guessing that the funding is coming from the pokies sale? Surely it's co-funding with the State Government and our cash generated from the pokies sale...

I think he worded that tweet wrong.  Had he mentioned that it was from the state government funding, plus the extra funding from the pokies sales then yes it would make sense.

I suspect it is just a coincidence. These negotiations would have taken many, many months, if not years.

What I suspect is not a coincidence, though, is that the State Government has come to the party after we've publicly stated we're getting out of the pokies industry. I imagine any State Government approval was contingent on that decision.

hope we are able to get our own social club????

That would be the very last thing on the shopping list, if it is actually even on it.

Ohhh, was hopping for one ?

Press conference currently underway

$3M funding to upgrade Gosch's Paddock to "AFL size" (presumably that's MCG equivalent)?

$2M from MOPT, $500k from the AFL and MFC.

    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.
