Training Ground?
Thank-you Young William. I was unaware that the initial push for an MFC home at Jolimont (Yarra Park) in 2018 coincided with the Victorian State Election and subsequent political shenanigans. How unfortunate. The next Victorian State Election is set in stone for Saturday 26 November 2022. Much has surely changed politically since then, especially since 2020 and CoVid. That gives 19 months before the next Victorian State Election. A large window for advocates of an MFC home at Jolimont (Yarra Park) to again push their case prior to another electoral "interference". In holding fast to what we want, (Melbourne Football Club Home @ Jolimont (Yarra Park)), we would do well to remember the words of William Edward Hickson:"...If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again".

Thank-you Chookrat. I'm glad we agree that Jolimont remains as the best home for the MFC. I am heartened you say that this proposal has not been ruled out. The link to the relevant article regarding the proposal for an MFC Jolimont Home is again shared below. I hope with all my heart it succeeds! https://turfmate.com.au/melbourne-football-club-pitches-plan-for-new-headquarters/

That's a conspiracy theory at best. But my question remains: where is the proof that Jolimont has been ruled out as a home for the MFC?

Training Ground?
Thanks IHW. Is this the article from the Age to which you refer? Its from 2018: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/concept-to-build-new-melbourne-headquarters-in-early-stages-20180620-p4zmnj.html Still no confirmation that Jolimont has been ruled out as a home for the MFC. I still think Jolimont is by far the best option.

Fritsch Out for 2 Weeks with Fractured Hand
Fritch must be spewing! He has really stepped up, found some great form and started kicking straight. May also would be feeling the same. I hope the team lifts for both these guys and really takes it out on the Hawks on Sunday.

Can you confirm Jolimont has been ruled out? If not, surely this is the best place for an MFC home.

A walk across the park to celebrate at Jolimont after a win at the MCG would be awesome! Anyone know how the negotiations for the below are going? https://turfmate.com.au/melbourne-football-club-pitches-plan-for-new-headquarters/

The Choco Appreciation Thread
Totally agree with you. I just listened to the end of that interview too. Mark Williams has earned and deserves respect.

The Choco Appreciation Thread
I was at that game. Port coached by Mark Williams won their first flag and in doing so famously stopped Brisbane from winning 4 premierships in a row. Goody's also scaled that mountain, twice in '97 & '98 when he played with Adelaide. Williams & Goody: success breeds success - good things ahead for the Dees me thinks...

TEAMS: Rd 04 vs Geelong
Didn't know you had carpentry skills your Majesty, sorry for your recent loss, my sincere condolences. Kind regards, AC/DeeC. P.S. Go Dees and smash the Cats!

NON MFC: Rd 04 2021
Also saw a bit of Leicester v Newcastle on a split screen of the last quarter of GCS v CAR. Turned the sound down - was awesome...

NON MFC: Rd 04 2021
On Kayo tonight, I watched simultaneously GCS v CAR & COL v GWS. F'n great service for $5 a month.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Agreed. Several of the less prominent are standing up whilst the more prominent are receiving tags. This is the hallmark of a great team. Plenty to be optimistic about. One thing, I prefer "Spargs" over your nickname for him...

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Fritch stepped up - Well done Bailey!
-
POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
Not convinced. Contrarily, I thought May beat Greene. Convincingly. Open to be proved wrong with stats...notwithstanding, it remains IMO, a shrewd move by the Dees coaches. I thought it worked well. I was wondering how Greene would be approached and very happy with the method. Go Dees!

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
GREAT shot.

POSTGAME: Rd 03 vs GWS
I am inclined to agree. A win next week against the felines will advance this premise. Also kudos to Fritch - mega game - wow!

POSTGAME: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
Great minds think alike, but when Jake Lever goes the golden fist, I don't see Freddie Mercury, I see Merv Hughes...
