Buying Waverley Park?

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.

    To do what with it, exactly?

    Look. Just look... and be silent.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
