    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.

    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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
