i can't believe anyone is thinking (for more than a millisecond) of turning the bentleigh club land into an mfc training and admin facility

unbelievable

perhaps its time Melbourne supporters got over their love affair of the MGG and the the MCG precinct. we are a tenant club at the MCG and nothing more and probably at the bottom of the list with the other tenant clubs. 

why do the facilities have to be at the MCG or link to our heartland? Hawthorn and Essendon have proven you don't HAVE to be there to grow.

we are a minnow club playing in a professional league and beggars can't be chooses. we will build wherever the AFL/ government say there is a swamp that they want to redevelop, be under no illusions we won't have a choice in the matter. 

chances of that swamp being in the CBD are slim, supporters will have to move with the club. will supporters of the future care where the facilities are? or even care that we once were a part of the MCG. its bee over 50 years since our last premiership and 40 since we left/ jumped from the MCC. time to move on 

we are the only club that has the chance to be innovative with how we obtain/ maintain new facilities. would the club look at partnering with a uni that wants to offer sports science degrees? they could have access to elite sport people and we could have access to the students. I couldn't care if we americanised it and had marching bands and cheers leaders as long as the club survived and thrived and delivered that bloody premiership! 

I couldn't care if the facilities were on the moon.

Property development is not our core business. I'd rather sell to someone else and let them take the risks associated with that activity.

you would think that footy was our core business but, after this year I truly wonder that perhaps property development might be better?

There are 18 quarter acres blocks so something like 180 metres x 100.  Would love to have a demonland group come up with a concept on a facility we own in an exclusive pocket of Melbourne.

I teach design at secondary school so, I am by no means an architect but, there is no reason why a facility that housed everything we need to be incorporated in the one block.

look at what they are doing between buildings for the metro tunnel in the city. have a look at the indoor soccer pitch that the clubs have in the uk.

I mean we would be spending millions at Goshes anyway, perhaps this way we wouldn't have to beg for land from the gov. just money haha

Here's the Bentleigh Club. Equivalent to 18 normal suburban houseblocks in a residential area. A developer would jump at the chance to demolish and build 50 or more townhouses, provided planning permission is given.

what are the dimensions of the land? why not do an indoor pitch? offices and function centre above? carpark below?

is it possible for members to demand a review? how might we go about doing so?

Interesting that Adelaide are doing both internal and external review after finishing 11th.

Meanwhile Dees don’t need an external review sitting at 17th.

geez, we really are eating our own

how many seasons this century have we been bottom 6? I think us members just need to realise that this is our reality. ho hum

yeah NJ is a sook and this is how the team plays when he is unhappy 

could we, would we trade him?

We did it or similiar in the 98  99 2000 period.

Judd is also a finals believer on the dees in 2020. 

the best season I have seen as a supporter was the 98 season. I left to live overseas in 99 and was gone for 10 years so last year was the best since 98 for me.

We were fifth at the end of the home and away season not fourth.

semantics 

not sure how many teams have gone from 4th to 17th in one season and then bounced back to finals the following year and, perhaps its the MFCSS but I can't see how we will play finals next year. 

it feels to me that the club didn't give the prelim loss enough respect. paid for it all season

still, no review needed

just watched, the first 3/4s is cringe worthy and embarrassing. sam and Eddie = white privilege. can we make some "I stand with Adam" banners for our game in a few weeks? 

book it in

Chanel 7 news just said Lever out with a knee

when can we get beers at our home games with the logo on the cup?

I hope the players aren't as pessimistic as the supporters! Even if some of the players would not be considered to be in our top 22, those who will be playing are being given an opportunity to show they belong at the top. I expect nothing less than a spirited performance. 

tell me, where are the goals going to come from to kick a winning score? I'd love nothing more than to be wrong

just can't see how we will kick more than 5-6 goals

lets beat the suns first hey

god I love this club! they can depress the hell out of me but then today happens and I'm in love again!!

I had a North supporter seek me out for some ridicule at work today. #thestruggleisreal
