Haven't been following the development of our new base much; however, can someone explain to me why we don't buy Waverley now that it's on the market? To me, it seems like a fair option since it just needs a refurbishment as well as being a far better location than Casey.

Imagine Northey and Stynes relocating from whatever pleasant afterlife they're surely currently experiencing, solely to haunt Waverley Park should we buy it.

Don't think Swooper would currently be experiencing any afterlife while his alive Chook....

In a rain belt, only one ground, expensive, residential restrictions and we are not moving the Casey Demons we are moving the MFC.  (I think my car is still out there somewhere)

I can guarantee you that it’s definitely no longer there.

 

Hawthorn are moving to a purpose built facility for a reason, let’s not continue the band aid approach, hawks have been able to negotiate 2 moves and we are still going around in circles

Too small, restricted by housing development surrounding it. Great for a local footy team, not the Dees.

Oh, I’m around a bit and have attended every game so far. I just mainly lurk rather than comment. I heard Eddie bring it up on SEN and didn’t understand why our club wouldn’t take it rather then staying at Casey which has more problems then Waverley would.

That’s not the equivalent deal tho. Casey is fine for its purpose.

Our choice is Caulfield. I’m not in love with Caulfield as it’s a rental without extra revenue generation. But it’s also a chance to build something of our own and with 2 ovals

One interesting option could be to rent Waverley if there’s a period between now and Caulfield and the Waverley buyers/owners are agreeable. Waverley does have advantages over Gosch’s.

i'd imagine our lease on gosch's is not end of lease, so we would end up paying 2 leases ☹️

No idea if it’s true but there has been talk of Olympic park being keen for us to go for more space for Storm, Victory etc.


Is there any reason we couldn't move into Waverley Park as a temporary measure until we get Caufield? At least the club would be under one roof immediately but you don't need to consider it a permanent solution.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
