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.

Why isn’t anybody talking about this?
 

@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.

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.

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
