    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.

    We all should respect a guy who has been so generous to the club we love for so long.

    He really deserves more than a building at Casey named after his family

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
