l lived down the road from their for ten years till l moved with work 12 months ago think its a good idea.

I live in Wheelers Hill; it is pretty easy for me to get there, down the freeway.

Hi Guys,

I am a Narre Warren Resident, which is part of the city of Casey. I think I am about 20-25mins from Casey Fields. Not sure if it is a GOOD move, but a move is needed so we can have our own facilities. It would be great to have the dees out this way, I just feel the move is more made out of desperation rather than an actual desire to be based here. It is 40+ kms from the CBD, and i am sure many players reside in the CBD. Quite a trip for them to make just to train.

If it helps the club I am all for it.................................or is this just a band-aid move??

Point Cook (Western Suburbs) About 1hr and a bit

brunswick so its pretty much a day trip for me.

chelsea htgs...app 20 mins

I must have an old Melways. Casey what?

I assume it's halfway to the Gold Coast.

If we go to Casey Fields does this mean we will dump Sandrinham.

Hi Guys,

I am a Narre Warren Resident, which is part of the city of Casey. I think I am about 20-25mins from Casey Fields.

I never get out that way, but I thought that Narre Warren was only 5 minutes from Cranbourne?

Rye Back Beach, 45 mins perfect!!

Other side of town. Was considering attending the preseason game against North but too far away. Still a training base is what is most important and if Casey Fields provides that then I am happy.

Far far away.

Mind you, I live 10 minutes from Sandy and I never have the time to go watch training, so it makes no different to me where we train. As long as we keep playing at the MCG, and the Casey Fields deal brings us more members.

Newcastle NSW about 13-14 hours (add about 3 more if i get lost which i would)

prob 3 1/2 hrs away

From Western Suburbs - it's too far for us.

We are the MELBOURNE football club and IMO should be more central.

Still, if Casey is the only option available, we should take it.

Berwick, so I am 10-15 minutes away.

If it is going to be just used as a training base in summer it will not make a pinch of difference to support. The amount of growth out here is crazy but people are not going to start following Melbourne just because we train in the off season near them. If we wholly moved out here and had practice games here and made a go of it we would pick up support, no doubt at all. But as we are going to have whatever it is going to be in Gosh's Paddock in 1.5 to 2 years, this is unlikely.

Dandenong here, 1/4 hour on a bad day. can't wait...........

brisbane bit of a hike from casey fields , im 10 min walk from gabba though

Thornbury, getting to the north game took over 2 hours.

If we were to play against interstate teams there (massive step but might happen) i think the club would need to set up some shuttle system to arrive when a train comes in and delivers supporters to the ground, because it's a fair hike!

Don't think they did it for Waverly (Hawks and Saints).

I don't think I've ever heard people that live in Bairnsdale etc complain about how far away Melbourne is to see a match/training. Don't see why someone who lives in Brunswick would complain about Cranbourne. Just jump on the Princes or Frankston and you're basically there

i dont go that far on my holidays.

You think you're about 20-25 minutes from Casey Fields? Didn't you go to Casey Fields for the match against NMFC?

It would be a good move if the MFC can tap into the massive potential membership of new communities being established. Yes, most adults have their allegiance alreday, but their kids can be influenced by what happpens at school. There are over 22,000 kids in Casey aged less than 5, and they are can all be exposed to MFC through school over the next 5 years. They go home , they pester their families for MFC gear, and want to be taken to matches. Just watch the Casey Fields crowds grow for the NAB matches if MFC comes out to Casey and is playing.

I never get out that way, but I thought that Narre Warren was only 5 minutes from Cranbourne?

I'm in Narre Warren South, and I'm less than 10 minutes from Casey Fields. Depending on where you are in Narre Warren you might be as far away as 15 minutes at the most.

I live in cranbourne about 2 min away.

Wont take long at all.

great call...because everyone has a car

There's rail to Cranbourne, and connecting bus to Cranbourne East (where Casey Fields is).
