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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
