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.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
