Both clubs have announced 40 & 36 mill upgrade of their training base whilst the Mfc will continue to train in a paddock & Casey. Pert declared by 2024 we will have a home base but we just continue to be left behind and we have the worst training facilities in the league now!

It has previously been announced that our working group for our home base involves funding and involvement from State and Local Government. I'd expect once there is something to announce, which you would think would be in the next 6 months, it will include appropriate State Government funding.

  • Demonland changed the title to Bulldogs & Cats Govt Funding vs MFC

As I understand it both of those grounds are owned by the local authorities. Kardinia Park is a big money spinner for the area and Whitten Oval is a green space that the local community has access to 7 days a week and is attached to a community sports hall managed by Victoria University. I cycle past the ground a lot and it looks like the money spent there has had a really positive effect. I'm sure that once our club has concrete plans signed off and can prove that the space will also be an asset to the local rate payers we'll also be due a government hand out. Unfortunately we're starting from scratch and much of the work done to date has been behind the scenes. 

 

Given that construction can be 1-2 years, the first thing that has to be established is the site, if you expect to have it done by the next few years.

To date we haven't even established that.


By the end of 2021, I reckon we'll have the site locked in. Lots of work to be down between now and then.

So its obvious its going to be gosch's paddock. Is the hold which area can we build on?

After all these years we still don't have a home base....   the only team without one.

The #1 reason we are still searching for a flag.

Agreed. I think if / when we ever were  to announce a definite home base it would actually almost like winning a flag.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
