The Melbourne Football Club deserves to be in the Heartland of Melbourne. That is our name!! No point  looking at Casey when the Club is actively looking at the MCG precinct which is the main priority. Yes Casey is suffice for now, but long term we MUST be within the MCG area.

Had a bit of a play with how a redeveloped Gosch's Paddock could look.

Summary:

• Collingwood sized oval and running track
• MFC Facility with Pool / Gym / Offices (and the "Social Club / Function Centre")   - 3 stories high. Approx 
• Increased underground car parking
• Indoor Hall (like the EFC Hangar) towards the end of the facility. Modelled on the Casey Fields hall currently being developed but size increased to fit as much hall as possible. Can be used by Melb Victory / Storm. 
• 2 x Rugby / Football pitches along Punt Road
• Upgraded running tracks around and between ovals
• Re-aligned off-ramp from City Link to meet up with Kelso Street intersection. Increased parkland.
• Common grass area.
• Small hill for oval viewing in top right hand corner.
• Upgraded seating, playground, exercise facilities placed around the park.

Thoughts?

 

 

It needs to be at Gosch's Paddock or in the precinct. We are Melbourne and the MCG is our "Home". The mock up above is what the club needs to be aiming for.

Reassuring to hear Gary Pert say we will have a home base in the MCG precinct and this still remains a priority for the club with the new facility.
