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

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
