Why isn’t anybody talking about this?
 

 

Fantastic effort by many devoted MFC club and family members over an extended period. Casey Fields continues to improve as a playing & training venue. The whole complex offers a wonderful facility for a variety of sportspeople, local and beyond.

Amazing, thank you to David Thurin, his family, and those generous Tridents.

Hoping they get the rewards of the club staying more than competitive on the field, for at least this generation.   

A great benefit for the players, coaches, and as Wayne Russell mentioned the community.

It looks great, I wonder if the MFC can have sole use as needed, or is it a community centre as well.

Would like to see some inside pics, of the gym and pool.


Thank you to David Thurin and his family, who have donated in excess of $1 Million to the club. 

The facility is elite. Campus 1 complete, Campus 2 loading.

@drysdale demon certainly did mention it in another thread. So, some of us are talking about it, as should everyone. What a generous contribution from a fellow-diehard Dees supporter. ❤️💙


Very impressive and well deserved for our men’s and women’s teams.

It’s great that we have a facility like this in Casey but, once again, I’m disappointed by the club’s fundraising efforts.  
Seems like we hit-up a small group of wealthy benefactors but very rarely ‘rattle the tins’ for facilities such as this one or any future high performance base (ie Caulfield).

Its great that we have generous members but I think we could do much better in broadening our fundraising base.

Thurin for a big workout if you go there i reckon

He was always very approachable, had many good discussions with him when he was on the board.

Presumably that's Thurin son of Thrain, King under the Mountain and deliverer of Erebor alongside the wizard Gawndalf?

A huge thank you to the Thurin family and Trident's from our D/Lers for such a generous and supportive facility which further enhances the standard of amenities at Casey Fields. 

Our female and male sports professionals now have a state of the art venue ( although not in central Melbourne yet)  which will be appreciated for years. And it will also be for a community use at the same time. 

Cheers to all who have helped develop this modern facility in the South East and special gratitude  to the funding and generous donators and contributors as well.

  • 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.
