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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      Who would have imagined, when the season kicked off early last month, that Melbourne would emerge from the opening six weeks with wins over both Queensland powerhouses? At the time, Gold Coast and Brisbane were the competition’s early pace-setters, the flavours of the month, and the prospect of the Demons toppling both within the course of a fortnight seemed remote. Yet here they are, banking those scalps alongside home victories over two traditional Victorian rivals and building a quietly impressive resume.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      From the outset, the Casey Demons lacked any spring in their steps. They were out-hustled and out-bustled and finally outplayed by the Brisbane Lions by 38 points on their home turf in perfect conditions at Casey Fields.
