Let's hope so. Invest in renewable energy. A major driver of inflation over the past 2 years is the cartel behaviour of local providers, and the price setting power of the OPEC cartel.

Beware the price setting power of the Communist Party of China....

Maynard would have been the perfect heir to Hibbo. Pity that didn't come off.

Oh yeah, and Cox is still a nuffy.

Was gonna make the very same comment... even the Cox bit.

If an opportunity arises for some lighthearted chat, I'd like to know what gets on Rick Lever's nerves. And then, once Rick is down, what Steven does to make things that much worse for him. 😉

Gutless. Where's the comeback? Where's the grit?

So its a 27 min drive right now on the maps app from Flinders st to the Caulfield track, would be 40min plus at peak time l would suggest. Not central but obviously better than Casey, Moorabbin, Dingley, Tulla etc. Makes it hard to pop into training if your not already in the sth east, acknowledging many mfc supporters are

My folks live near the new Anzac station and I live in Caufield very close to the racecourse. Never takes me more than 15-20 to get to my folks and that's straight up Dandenong Road.....

I feel like I’m the only one who doesn’t want Caulfield…? Goschs all the way. The visibility is infinitely better, there is enough room for new training facilities and admin to be added on to aami and we seem to be doing fine on the freshly redeveloped ground at goschs. I live in the north side and every dees supporter I know just about lives here. The south east ain’t the heartland of our young supporters and while it is 15 mins by train from flinders it’s not that easy to get to at all from north or west, I wouldn’t call it central at all. 

Good point this past one.... jokes about the river aside. That bloody bay gets in the way....

The actual development of the racecourse has not, to my knowledge, started or received final approval from the authorities. There has been development of the area that was once open space and car parking between the racecourse and the railway line where some ugly high rise units have emerged out of the ground along with a shopping precinct based around a large Coles Supermarket.

The development is still a watch this space for the future.

That Coles is an absolute bewt. The chicken from the Korean place in the plaza is worth a go, too...

l don't class caulfield as being central, goschs paddack is central

Got trains, trams (67) near enough, Monash Freeway not far, lotsa space, and that very Melbourne leafy sense of relaxed prosperity..... And I live nearby, so it's a lock.

Got some seats with the fam in the Ponsford Stand. Great to be here after twenty years overseas ... tho can somebody do something about the cost of rent? 😉

Dear Fellow International Demonlanders, anyone know if we receive a code for Watchafl like last year (came in January)?

I have not seen anything yet and cant access Watchafl, therefore no Fox Footy and no cover of Match Sim I think, any clue?

Contact the club.

I have no inside knowledge. I have only been to the Caulfield Cup once and sat some Monash University exams at the racecourse many moons ago, however I do pass the area by train regularly. I remember parking for my exams where they new apartment complexes are and doing panic last minute cramming in the car 😁

I suspect that any MFC training facility would be located in the red areas I circed. That is the southern, Glen Huntly end of Caulfield Racecourse, close to Glen Eira Secondary College. Allowing the school some level of access to some facilities may even bring in some decent government funding ... something to think about 🤔

Good point re the school. Facilities there are absolute shyt. No conflict of interest on my part, ofc, though my kids go there. No, no, no.... no conflict of interest at all. 

[censored] that I am, the first time I visited I assumed the Glenhuntly oval was attached in some way to the school, ignoring the fact that a rinlgock fence without a gate separated the two. Alas, by the time the penny dropped the kids were in and now have but a [censored] poor parody of a running track to dart about on, though tbh the gym aint bad....

Any case, I'm all in for MFC to Caufield RC. Get it done!

What's Monash hit yo go with our home base? 

Err.... Monash hit yo go freeway, so people could come in cars easily from many directions.

Probly been shouted down already, but isn't Caufield Racecourse being redeveloped? Good public transport, not far from the Monash, etc.....

I just got the email from the club offering this deal. They also throw in an armchair membership. Great value at $22 per month but a little more expensive than other clubs ($19?).

The info is listed under the membership categories under KAO Digital Membership:

https://membership.melbournefc.com.au/packages

The club should hopefully advertise this on the main page so non-members will can find it.

Yeah, just saw it. Looks pretty good.

Used to be O’Tooles corner until he sold it 

Been here 9 years now,  my darling is local, I mow our lawn (joke)

and look after fruit trees, do real work 10% then watch the football at Rafferty’s bar.

get to maybe 4 games if I am very lucky

its windy, often cool, but views from the bool to port fairy ……love it more each day

One of the richest soils in the country, apparently.... You can see the before and after the Tower Hill eruption in the walls of a midden somewhere near Levy's point if I remember correctly.

Back in the 70's it could be scary.... 

One of my favorite memories of childhood is rounding the corner at the top of the hill heading home to Port. That glimpse of Tower Hill on the right and then away across Killarney and pines of Port in the distance. Goosebumps just thinking about it....

There's a Kayo membership on the site, says Coming Soon for $263 for 12 months. Fair discount. Wonder if it will ever actually appear.....

Go to home games and go to pub for away games

just costs a H&A membership.

Damm good idea.... cheers.

kayo is probably cheapest. you only need to pay for footy season...say 6 months. additionally if you want to squeeze it down, get a basic subscription which supports 2 devices concurrently and split costs with a mate/family member.

only thing cheaper is probably the pirate sites and fight off the virus attempts.

Cheers, DC.
