Melbourne will retain its affiliation with VFL club Casey as AFL braces for talent overhaul

Following decisions from Carlton and Hawthorn on their VFL alignments, Melbourne has also made a call on its future with Casey. The decision comes as big changes are on the horizon for the second tier competition.

    Suddenly from being behind re no dedicated melbourne vfl team we're back in front on that score.

    On similar matters, as football depts shrink will AAMI actually work out ok for us now....OR given everything is being reduced everywhere could we get back to training on the mcg? OR is thinking about the future in any way right an utter waste of time?Ā

    Some on here might not be too thrilled with this decision, but i for one am very happy we have decided to stick with Casey.

    Good news for mine especially when 2 of the "big Vic" clubs drop their alignments.Ā

    Good points Wells. Should the rugby or soccer clubs based at AAMI not be in existenceĀ next year (fingers crossed for MFC?) we may just find our home base out of this adversity.

    Wasn't one of the issues with AAMI the "high cost" for the level of access/facilities/size of the the facilities we get access to?

    Here is hoping rugby (union) stays, but I'm doubtful rugby will be a game that exists in Aust in the coming years.Ā

    Rugby was in a bit of strife before this. AFL, NRL, other big comps will survive (in what form TBD), but a national comp with no FTA and decliningĀ junior participation is in heaps.

    I think the Rebels are doomed, Aus Rugby was a mess before Corona, no chance it survives after.

    Think the Dees will be the big winners after all this subsides.

    In Pert we trust. Imagine if we announce a new base and there are no tenants at AAMI...Ā

    Happy we are aligning with Casey, it has been beneficial for us.Ā 

    For a home base, we'll see what happens. Ā The situation has changed for everyone, at least in the short term. Ā 

    As for other sports, the AFL is in the most secure position of all the national football codes. Ā The other codes were already struggling and don't have the future financial ability to gain lines of credit to tide it over. Ā Ā  Ā Ā

    I think we should have always been aligned with Port Melbourne. Same song same colours and not half way to Gippsland where most of our supporters can't or wont getĀ to.Ā

    sorry ...what is the development

    Didnā€™t you get Pertā€™s latest email?! Announced our new training and admin base is at Casey!!!! They couldnā€™t get what they wanted in the MCG area so had to bite the bullet and move the club to Casey. Potential for home games at Casey as well.

    Looks to be located near my favourite grass verge. Great place to sit and watch the game around the 50 metre mark. The outer wing is a bit of a dogs breakfast with rather soulless concrete terraces but if they leave the gate open over there it is a pleasant walk through the wetlands at halftime.

    With the Blues and Hawks dropping their alliances I cannot see the VFL being played this year. NRL has axed its womens comps (they only had four teams.)

    Will it help with some of those shocking winds that come through when kicking for goal?

    Just saw your 4 April post, Disciple, sorry.

    No, Patto. Also an OK place to surf, for mine, though many factors limit me to the 'bodying' type! I'm impressed that you(?) surf at Liptrap!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Nightā€™s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourneā€™s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, weā€™ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binmanā€™s Stats Files. Not because it isnā€™t important; quite the opposite. Itā€™s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourneā€™s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last yearā€™s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although itā€™s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sundayā€™s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to foolā€™s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven Kingā€™s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
