Does stay there hidden under the seats or can it be dismantled and assembled elsewhere?

I'd love them to use one of the asphalt velodromes around a country footy oval. The one at Wangaratta would be perfect. Something tells me that won't be happening.

Not so sure about the velodrome track length vs the dimensions of a decent sized Aussie Rules oval.

    I think there are more marginal electorates in Geelong. Watch out for a further Kardinia Park stadium and associated facilities upgrade. 

    Wanted so much to click the "vomit" button for this post but that would have been unfair to LDVC.

    Clicked like, but i really didnt.

    Do we know if all the events are in country Victoria? Could we have been waiting for this announcement hence the silence from the Club regarding any future home base. Are the ducks lining up at long last. If so Kate Roffey needs a sainthood.🦆

    I think I've got a little bit over excited. The Games aren't until 2026 but still what's another 4 years.

    Disappointed there was no update at the Member's Brief last night unless it was during one of the spots where the live feed dropped out.

    Missed it last night due to footy training but disappointed that there was no discussion around if true.

    I need to find a link, but I was certain it was either Pert or Roffey last year said they would have an announcement by the end of the year with confirmation of our new home base. 

    We're nearly 3 months into the new year and we've heard nothing.

    Heard the same message for the past 5 years and we'll hear the same for the next 5 years

    "As much as we would love to give an update, there's no information to give at this time. It's a complex process with numerous parties. "

    "We are in constant discussions with the State Government, Melbourne & Olympic Parks Trust and the AFL."

    "We've seen the preliminary plans and we believe the facility that we are putting together will be a world class state of the art training facility with a Social Club so our fans can come together and sing the song after a win only a drop punt from the MCG located in the heart of what we believe to be the best sporting precinct in the world"

    "I can understand the members and supporters are probably getting a little frustrated at the lack of an announcement but as soon as we have the sign off from all parties to give the go ahead we'll gladly update you all."

    Serious question: Is that actually what was said or have you crafted what you imagined might have been said? Because, if it's the latter, it's very fine trolling!

    Does it matter, we just won a flag with the boys having a kick to kick, and having a beer afterwards, don’t change a winning formulae.

    Yes, it does matter. 

    The rest of the competition will improve this year as we must.  If we expect players to improve the rest of the club and the resources around them need to improve. 

    And we owe it to the new players coming through, that may not be as elite as our current top 10, to ensure they can be the best they can be.  Facilities will play a role in reaching their potential.

    Is the re-surfacing anything to do with the new training base or just a separate thing? Either way it will be better for our players feet.

    Separate thing, it is also not just a resurface, the oval has been expanded to now make it as long as the G and as wide as Etihad.

    The home base is still to be decided/approved/announced/whatever but it is assumed it will be an addition to AAMI park.

    • 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.
