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.

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
