Essendon are getting $6 million in the Vic budget next week for Hangar upgrade. Are we getting anything?

Meanwhile back in reality...

Here are the ABS Labour Stats until the end of September, before Victorian lockdown ended.

Still way too high across the board, but the state by state unemployment rate is illuminating. ACT 3.8%, NT 4.8%, Victoria 6.7%, WA 6.7%, SA 7.1%, NSW 7.2%, TAS 7.6% and QLD 7.7%. 

Essendon has received $6.28m in funding from the Victorian state government to complete the second stage of the development of its training centre.

Thanks. Apparently Dan made the decision on his own and neither he nor anyone else in the Government can recall anything about it. Also Unified Security have been paid $1m to deliver the cheque and they are doing it through Uber.


Are you %#&*( kidding me??

How come every other club the the AFL are getting more and more money, to add to their already near new home grounds, and we get donuts????

Pert if you are reading this what about calling the state government to get us a home ground?!?!

I am livid, to say the least.?

It'd be for repairs, maintenance and finishing off.

We don't have anything to repair or maintain, and we need to start something before it needs finishing off.

The Tullamarine funding is to upgrade the AFLW facilities.No different to what we got at Casey.

The Essendon facility is also a high performance centre for Paralympics participants.

So we need an angle.

we have always needed to demonstrate community benefit.

Bulldogs did it years ago with a childcare facility. Got them big Federal grants.

One problem we will face is any form of permanent closure of Gosch's paddock to the public assuming we take that space.

We don't have a proposal yet? How about holding your horses until we actually see what we get WHEN we figure out where we can even build our home base.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
