This is a travesty!

It'll need to be at least... eight times the size!

Still, it's better than the "Lexus Centre for kids who can't kick good and can't do other stuff good either".

Well it's got bubbles, anyone who also follows West Ham in premier league will be happy.

I'm forever blowing bubbles, Pretty bubbles in the air.

They fly so high, nearly reach the sky, And like my dreams they fade and die.

Fortune's always hiding, I've looked everywhere...

I'm forever blowing bubbles, pretty bubbles in the air.

to the tune of "i like aeroplane jelly" i think.

well we have more than just bubbles in common with west ham...

I know it's not the supporters!

Colours - They are blue and claret, kind of close...

1964 was also a good year... European Cup Winners' Cup, FA Cup and Charity Shield.

Here's a Google Maps image of the site of the stadium. The stadium site is called "Edwin Flack Park" by some and was once a greyhound track but is now just an oval with carparks. CollingwoodFC like to call it "Bob Rose Oval", and used it for outdoor training.

If you zoom out once to a wider view, you'll see that west (left) of the new stadium site is the athletics track and rugby stadium, which I believe stays for the moment (at least it is depicted in one of the views Finks posted). There might be some argument about its redevelopment in the future. West of that again is the Lexus Centre (the old Olympic Swimming Pool just off the Yarra River), which is CollingwoodFC's admin and training centre.

The two ovals east of the new stadium site, across the carparking area, are Gosch's Paddock. That's where Collingwood train outdoors now that the stadium is being built, and what we will "share" for outdoor training. It's much further from the Lexus Centre to Gosch's Paddock than it is from the new stadium. Poor Collingwood.

The MelbourneFC indoor training facilities (shared with Storm and Victory), along with our football administration, will be built as part of the new stadium. That puts us very close (at last) to our home ground MCG, which if you zoom out again, you can't miss just north across the railway line.

cannot wait....what a smart move by the club. we cant afford great facilities on our own so we work it out with other codes and end up getting a better deal than collingwood who have to walk right past us to do kicking training. i suppose it will be a little annoying for the players having to do walk the 100 or so metres to the ovals and have everyone try to interview them and get autographs (which they avoid easily ATM at junction with the rooms right next to the oval) but collingwood have it MUCH MUCH worse!

also, even though their are three codes using the ground, good maintenance should keep it fine because dont forget the MCG can handle 3 games in one weekend

I recieved a letter saying that they had only raised 2.2 milliong of the 4 million required. If all the people who use this site donated $10 it would raise close to $140,000, that would be a huge benefit for the club.

Bruce - that is what the 150 Club is currently for - and Demonology/Demonland are working hard to become full members - AND we're not too far away.

Feel free to have a look at the threat pinned to the top of the boards...

Thanks for the photos Finks, the whole thing is pretty damn exciting........

And thanks to those who have cleared up the question of where our outdoor training area is. I was curious about that. I thought that the rugby ground as it stands now was going to be re-developed into an oval park for our outdoor training, but I guess that was a misunderstanding on my behalf. Oops!!!

So thanks to Maurie and co. for clearing that up :D !!!

Who cares?

He plays for Carlton now.

End of story.

The only thing that concerns me about Chris Judd from now who plays on him when MFC plays Carlton.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
