Thats what the MFC website says

Thanks can’t see it in the website, I hear July & August? So players need to travel 55 mins to Casey to train & compete for a top 4 finals spot whilst the rest of the teams have zero interruptions?

    Sounds pretty amateur doesn’t it!

    Add it to the list of reasons we need our OWN training base close to home.

    How many other clubs are having to deal with this, forced to drive 50/60 mins to drive Casey??

    We won a premiership doing just that

    AAMI Park was built for football and rugby so those sports will always take priority there. It sucks from a track watchers perspective but at least Casey has all that is required as a training facility and I'd guess that most AFL footballers would live on the eastern side of the city although Ben Brown wouldn't necessarily look forward to the daily commute from Ascot Vale.

    It was a mixture of training @ both venues, bloody frustrating to see Collingwood less than 800 meters away not get affected yet always seems our club continues to be affected & having to adjust around our bloody nomadic training facilities

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
