Wade Derksen
I consider him to be the sultan of swing men. Mark my words if we dont get him we will be in dire straits.

I have no doubt that the deal might be done, but what about funding?

Brad Green and the current board
I'm sure I read that somewhere but you might be right. He has been on the board since 2020.

Brad Green and the current board
No. It was in Brads interview published earlier in the week on the MFC website. Rennick is stepping down because he has to according to club rules. The interesting thing is that they are not going to fill his casual vacancy.

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
In 2018 the MRC signed a 65 year lease. This includes the guineas car park. There was a disagreement over the amount of rent to be paid and an independent valuer set the rental at $333,333 per annum for the next 10 years. Source is the CRRT Annual Report 22/23. fyi

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
Well it has always been there but our preferred option was the MCG precinct. Obviously that option has withered but also our needs have got larger with the growth in AFLW. Furthermore Caulfield would have ben a difficult proposition with horse training going on but this is no longer the case. Training has moved out in recent times. And compared with 50 or 100 years ago no one goes to the races anymore. Hence the closure of the guineas grandstand and the flat. The Caulfield Cup drew 25k people last time. The MRC probably wants to reduce their onsite footprint to save $$$ and invest in an updated grandstand. Also the Govt is determined to get better value out of public assests. Timing is right.

Dont be ridiculous. We will need a tunnel so it will be part of the SRL.
-
The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
I dont think the MRC would have been too keen on a herd of footballers crossing the track on a regular basis. Though dog walkers do it all the time. And a new tunnel would be expensive. I am sure the positioning of the ovals can be reconfigured.

The only time the gates will be locked is on race days.

Thats because the bought private land owned by the MRC. Mt Scopus is not being built on Crown Land.
-
Potential Father Son Prospect Noah Yze
I dont think he has the smarts/skill of his old man so compensate with a bigger, stronger body.
-
The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
Dont think so. It is Crown Land so it will be leasehold, I assume with a reasonably long lease. Just like the same arrangement the MRC has with the Trust.

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
Campbell, Laurie, Yze I thought were the best. The one that surprised me was Fullarton who played much better than expected. Obviously Yze is worth another look. Kolt and Howes played as they should. Well done Casey.
