Envious to see the Hawks new state of the art training base.

What’s the status of Caulfield is it still a pipe dream….

Was there talk of moving into Waverley as an interim solution

We are officially the only club who dosent have all the club under one roof!

    It's a pretty exposed site and a not very attractive area at the moment. Like their colours...

    At least we don’t have to be worried about taking the new recruits on a tour of our facilities.

    Haters won’t like this but here’s a home truth.

    The Kennedy centre has nothing that, aside for a whole heap of administration space, that Casey doesn’t. Same indoor kicking area, same pools, similar size gym, elite training field and it’s a distance from “hawthorn”.

    Compared to Casey Fields, the Kennedy centre is less than half the distance to the MCG (where both teams play), the bayside suburbs (where most players live) and the geographic and population centre of Melbourne (providing decent access for fans).

    The players might be happy with the facilities once they get to Casey Fields, but spending two hours a day in the car to get there and back has to be a major negative.

    ...and it's not leased, and it is up and running today, not in 5 years time (maybe), and they will expand it, and their Board set up the funding process and sought supporter engagement a long time ago. Unlike the MFC who squandered a post Premiership opportunity to build for the future of the club.

    it doesnt take 2 hours to get to Casey. I live in casey and work in Port Melbourne. At the times they would head down to Casey ( BTW I know at least 10 players that live close to or within 20 mins from there) it would take 1 hour maximum. Players on the other side of town ie the west and north would take a while but i doubt there would be many over that way. Its a bit of a beat up the driving distance to be honest.

    Sorry Poita you did say 2 hours in the car.

    Driving to the MCG to play and home from Brighton is still 45 mins each way.... esp in traffic.

    Not saying Casey is a perfect destination for a home base, far from it, but its not the be all and end all until we get a facility imo

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
