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??

Hi Guys,

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

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) :lol:

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.

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

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.

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

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
