Yeah no. Don’t want no sloppy seconds, particularly for something we have no history with (aside from temporary ww2 digs)

They demolish that stand I bring on the Jack Dyer curse, they'll never win another flag, ever.

Knock it down!

 

Richmond's threat to leave Punt Road if they don't get their way seems hollow to me.

They would be the only ones to suffer if they took that action so the threat is meaningless.

A long time ago my father told don't make a threat unless you have the will to carry it out  

If Richmond FC can’t obtain approval to redevelop the site, how could we?

How is it they have been promised $30M for a project that hasn't started, while we have only crickets chirping for a project that hasn't started?

It's pretty bloody annoying to say the least. I know the club is doing everything it can but man the lack of announcements with all the money being thrown around by the fl o g pollies at the moment is disheartening.

So they leave, it's no big deal.

Collingwood left Vic Park...the council can make it a community hub and play local footy there.

Take down the fences...walk the dogs.

It's not much of a threat...what do the City of Melbourne get by having Richmond at Punt Road?


If they open the Punt road oval and increase the community park land, could this override residents arguments against a development over the train line with a training oval being included at that location in the park land.

Richmond are seeking to make the ground larger by knocking down the old grandstand. If they don't succeed and end up moving why would we replace them and revert back to an undersized oval after getting Goschs made bigger?

far too logical, rab

book yourself in for re-education

Yep end of the day we can shift to a ground that’s smaller than the G. We’d have the exact same problem as them. Unless we’d have a better plan of shifting the stand without demolishing it and still being able to create it as our own training facility it’s not the solution to our home base problems. 

Would love to get an update on our facility though, feels like this has been dragging forever. 


They still managed to win 3 premierships recently and 5 others since they moved there home games to the G.

They increased the size of the oval in 2012/2013 to the same size as Marvel stadium 159m x 124m yet complain they cannot play well at Marvel, so if the increase the size to 160m x 141m its 1 meter shorter which means half a meter shorter from the center to the goal line and 17meters less width.

The stand has been there since 1915 which is a heritage that the club cannot and should not destroy, seem we destroy history for development in all suburbs and replace them with new building without any character.

We could continue using Goschs for training and have our staff based at Punt Rd instead of AAMI Park

Wouldn't happen but it could definitely work if it had to

We could expand our indigenous presence by making the Punt Rd a "Naarn FC" home ground complete with community access and demon livery.

If there is no money for us in this weeks state budget there will be some big questions to be answered. 

There are a lot of late Victorian/federation grandstands in perfect condition all over suburban and regional Victoria which have a much richer history than the Punt Rd Jack Dyer grandstand. I definitely don't think it is the best example, and its heritage value is not strong. If Richmond want to leave it (and I am convinced they absolutely do NOT want to) I hope it becomes an open public space with its Narrm heritage celebrated as mentioned by Bush Demon above. Great idea.

But no way as a Dees HQ. 


If it is demolished i'm claiming first dibs on the social club's sticky carpets!

Anything that moves us from Casey back to Melbourne should be considered imo

Why?  didn't we just win a flag from there and will give another a shake this year.

There are many reasons - train in Melbourne, build up supporters, more people can go to training, connect with the city of melbourne, players don't have to drive 2 hours to get to training. would be great to have our 2nds play in melbourne too so more people can go to games, plus the AFLW team has a chance to get some more people to go to the games and build a supporter base

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
