Just heard on channel 7 news about Collingwood developing Olympic park for themselves, I only heard half the story, how does this affect us? Also, Brunmby is a collingwood supporter and sits on atheltics australia board along with Eddie!

Are we ggetting stiffed again?

    who cares what they do with olympic park...our new facilities will be next to olympic park and i didnt think that they could do a lot with olympic park that would add to their already extravagent facilities...what i find funny, is that we will be sharing Gosch's paddock with them and they will have to walk about 800m to get to the oval and walk straight past our facilities!

    The news report said they are destroying the athletics track and putting in a football field, so they don't have to walk to Gosch's paddock.

    Where are the athletes training and competing? The new stadium does not include a track as far as I know.

    This could actually be a good thing for us. If Collingwood knock down Olympic Park and build an oval (which is what they are proposing) Melbourne will get Gosh's Paddock to itself!

    The idea is Athletics Victoria moves to Bob Jane Stadium in Albert Park. This makes a bit of sense as it will be right next door to the Aquadic Centre.

    If we were to claim Gosh's Paddock we might be able to make a little dosh with naming rights as Collingwood did. I think they called it the Lexus Rose Oval or something? Even though I'd hope Melbourne were not so material to combine a sponsor's name with that of a club legend.

    I don't care what the filth do.

    I do, because footy is a competition both on and off the field!

    You might not like Eddie, but since he's arrived at the helm of the filth they have seized the initiative time and time again.

    Administration, Facilities, Marketing, Sponsorship...they have outpointed us for years.

    I [and I suspect many others] have had a gutfull of that!

    The new stadium and its facilities will be a great boost to our playing list, whilst thats being built let's all think of postive ways to help the MFC. Most of our ideas may not see the light of day...but some might.

    And our enthusiasm can only give heart to our more tepid supporters.

    You'd prefer to share with the filth?

    Who do you think would get preferences regarding training times etc.?

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
