Injuries yes but also coaching and bringing players from Casey …in 2022 continued with same players, in 2023 watching Grundy not playing in the 2 finals was another blunder!

Worth listening to Pert @ the AGM as discussed in detail as what is needed now & in years decades to come, the issues with AAMi park and shared facilities plus access due to concerts etc, not just 1 oval and went on to say that the his team & the board explored all opportunities & Caulfield represents the best.

I believe local gvt blocked the plans for a site in the Olympic park/ Aami park precinct or the club couldn’t build what was required. State gvt has poured out hundred of millions of dollars to support other clubs redevelopment of their existing grounds eg Geelong .. understanding they have existing footprint but all driving by politics vote getting.. A club that bears the name of the city is treated like a 2nd rate citizen, Yet happy to build extend tennis stadiums etc but the MFC is given scraps

They will keep Casey but they want a training centre that has all the club under one roof vs mcg , aami

Reference is how hard it is for our club to get its training base, is local or state gvt to blame?

Fisherman’s Bend is having a major redevelopment with an estimated 20k population eventually. Surely there would be opportunities and recently the local council just purchased land with a view of turning it into an open space

Afl announce a 70mill train base for the TAS team! Makes the blood boil how our club gets treated

Hard to say really as not sure on the commercials, who would pay for the facilities, can they get 2 ovals? I live in Port & as always thought that the existing Port Melb fc ground is ripe for development but they also have a cricket club which would need to move as need a ground with all year access

Glen Eire council are now saying they haven’t been consulted & are warning that any plans needs to include local residential use.. could another local gvt shaft the MFC?

I stand to be corrected but the area of we’re the filth (pies) who are rubbing it in our faces took it whilst we were rattling cans to survive and 20yrs later we are split to 3 areas with a training ground almost 60 mins away.. Winning the flag in 21 shows how great it was compared to what the other 17 clubs have to deal with!

The glass house Olympic park was offered around 20yrs to the club but was rejected by either Gutnick ,Sznody, Gardner era as we couldn’t afford it, unfortunately when the club was continuously in survival mode & broke its hard to plan ahead ..you look at the junction oval now and say why wasn’t that explored even the saints couldn’t make it work. The fact that Daniher had to work out of portables & players had the worst training facilities and using cones as goals in preseason is amazing that he’s sides played in finals plus a GF! The fact it’s 2024 and we still get get kicked off AAMI due to functions etc inc the women’s WC is a joke, so if Caulfield is the answer go for it

Forever be a premierships Dee’s player , unfortunately need list mgt will always see premiership players moved on. Ellis from the tigers etc wish him the best

Training base is very important as the mfc may have the poorest of all clubs which is split between 2 grounds & our head office is in a 3rd location..compare ours to what hawks , tigers , even dogs & not to mention cats who have gotten hundreds of millions to develop their home ground to fit 40k so they train & play there.. we are chalk & cheese! Either evolve or you get left behind.. like we did after 1964!

Understand sure great for the club to get a 1mill but just have our president accepting it, feels very hollow vs seeing a club hold a premiership cup…Feels like our players holding a mediocrity cup

Why is a club that’s bombed out in straight sets in both teams accepting the award with both our captains

Not bagging Casey as the facilities are great for a suburban ground & it’s yielded flags for both teams… but it’s no we’re near the other afl elite top clubs … who’s idea was it to go 50-60 minutes away from our so called heartland … VFA port melb ripe for development with 18 flags & same theme song & a population growth of 20k…& under 20mins from the mcg

Look at the amount of funding the Cats have received from the state gvt over the last 20yrs to develop multiple stands. Yet they can’t find a blade of grass for a training centre for the MFC a club that bears the name of the city. Understanding that our club handling of this has been very poor in decades gone past, we are a club born out of a stadium the MCC/G we are not a club from a suburb which was part of the VFL, very frustrating https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kardinia_Park_(stadium)

Perhaps we have become a club who thinks that we are the best and win flags to the the point that’s what they are looking at and not what the next game or the next play ???

Stop making excuses .. drinking own bath water ..

Too much back slapping celebrating winning McCallin Cup, club posting early in the AFLW season on the highest % … 1st final posting during the game of a player getting 15 possessions and they hadn’t kicked a goal! Goodwin @ B&f saying he could smell a premiership…. Club needs to shut up and let their footy do the talking in both men’s & women’s teams!

How is Essendon getting 10 straight games in Melb & pies having 2 blocks of 5 games in melb are fair draw… when we are playing 3 of the first 5 away & 7 road trips plus 1 in Alice of our own dumb doing

Afl world will come at us if it’s a straight sets exit, in particular pies supporters calling us chokers etc … Concerning is when you see our club listing a Dees player Liv having 15 possession in a final which we got flogged in & before the game was even finished! Celebrating the McCallen cup why? Posting the highest % by the team why? Maybe this goes to the core of our culture?

It’s a recognition of both teams for the season excluding finals… unfortunately other supporters in particular pies ones will always reference the straight sets exit and water down this.. they continue to call our premiership the covid cup , yet our dominance across the 3 finals & playing on neutral grounds & zero home ground advantage is passed over vs them who didn’t leave Melbourne sill for the last 5 games of the season, one can only imagine if the lions win the flag and had the same fixture

Congrats after the BS off field in our men’s team includes the media attention.. hope the girls go back to back flags

I’m sure it’s been covered but Is Gunston not worth looking at?
