Cheap shot. If a mainstream journalist reports something like this I believe it's important for the Club to clarify the matter, whether it is true or not. Our comms team have definitely lifted their game this year but they still need to be more agile on matters like this,which is important football information for supporters - particularly at this time of the year when the Club is, or should be, building our membership numbers.

Spoke to Rhett - the new Casey coach and he said Paddy was actually running the family's plumbing busy because his father is on a "jolly" overseas. Kingy told him it was OK to take a half-day here or there until dad returns......the new way?

That was at the B&F, not the launch....

Official MFC season launch on Monday evening - maybe something said then?

Quick Captain's Run - the 26 there were: JVR Salem Langford Lindsay Windsor Lever Steele Turner Gawn Tholstrup Jiath Langdon Laurie Taylor Matthews Howes Rivers TMac Sharp Fritsch Sparrow l. Pickett Petty K. Pickett Chandler Kentfield For the Community matches 26 is the stipulated number, so (if this is the starting 26) interesting to note - No Heath or Jefferson (Mihocek in protocols). Matthews gets a run and Petty is back. Still no AMW. Word from F&T is that Bowser's rehab is going very well.....

Under the latest plan George, our headquarters is expected to be to the right of Glenhuntly Park shown on your map. Mount Scopus will be near Gate B.

Still had the most hit-outs of any ruck and his tapwork in the second quarter got the Vics going I thought.

On reflection, we would be closer to the Neerim/Queens Road intersection - which is classified as Park area. Makes sense as we would be leasing from the CRRT. We would not be in that "generally non-residential land use"area, so this zoning would not be directly relevant to us.....

Very interesting - that's exactly where we want to be - south-east corner. Closer to Glenhuntly station than Caulfield.

4 of our first 6 at "home" at Casey. Just have to get on your bike a few times if you want to catch the AFL boys at the G... 9 of the 18 games at home. The only interstate matches are Sydney and Gold Coast matching up with our AFL games there.....

So TC gets counted twice - once for North and once for the Saints....

Oscar is Cat B.

From the gallery, good to see Melksham was in an "action shot". Matthews also continuing to participate....did I also see a profile of Salem?

Some due diligence before putting them on the back of the jersey? - luckily the investigative journailsm did MA in so quickly, no-one really noticed their intended association with us....

Another potential angle on this is that if the Caulfield project does get the final green light soon - still an if, of course - then whilst the project is being rolled out the Club could save quite a bit of money by moving to Waverley (and use it the same way it uses the AAMI/Gosch's facility now.) I understand it is not cheap to rent the AAMI space. I suspect that the move to Waverley would only occur if Caulfield was a definite "GO", and is announced as such. That does have the other short-term effect of the entire club being "together", but of course only at times when the Footy Department is at Waverley....maybe instead of just Wednesdays at the moment they might train there say twice per week? That fits in with the intent of Tennis Australia to increase their footprint in January with Collingwood sliding across to AAMI/Gosch's during that period.
