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...

    What we need here is one of those fire-fighting helicopters, and approximately 10,000 litres of milk.

    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

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
