I realise that, so that is why I’m asking the question.

Any word on Steven May?? Is he ok? If concussed, is he out for 2 weeks under new rules?? That’s all I care about. We would have been lost without him.

The game plan is non existent. Goodwin has had years to correct his deficiencies. This is putrid. Should be 10 goals down

Then just announce it. There is nothing wrong with that precinct. We can stretch the ground , as a I understand it, as it isn’t marked as green-space. There is room for an adjacent facility. Just get it done

What hand is that?

Has it? I knew it shut down and then reopened. Perfect opportunity to buy the pub too then haha. There’s your social club ?

It may have been a main group training. Do they usually train a day before a match? I wouldn’t have thought so. I’m just going by Oliver’s Instagram feed

It’s pretty darn close. about 45 minutes and 35 kms closer than Casey.

Oliver just posted a photo of himself at Gosch’s Paddock from this morning. He was clearly training with the leftover group of players. I accept that he is being managed.

What about Brunswick St Oval then? Surrounded by a park and a Bowls Club. City of Yarra seem to have embraced the development of Victoria Park

The board should look at Toorak Park. Right next to a train station in Demon Heartland. I’ve seen people bemoan the fact there is no parking there, but there is just as much around that precinct as there is at Victoria Park and Moorabbin. Several years ago the Dees experimented with midweek training nights there and it was a huge success. Its redevelopment would benefit the community and could be used by Prahran juniors and women’s teams. These are the things that underpin the likelihood of government funding. Also, there is a great pub next to the ground.

Anyone know what the procedure will be for MCC members

This performance was pathetic. The worst we’ve played ever in AFLW. There is a lack of skill and class at both ends of the ground. The midfield is weak. It’s pretty sad to see how this team has deteriorated.

Goldie has played on every time she has marked. It’s not Gaelic. Someone get out to her

Doggies last week and Pies today just play long direct football. We play short sideways garbage that is so laborious.

The decision to axe all our experience in favour for unskilled irish recruits has bitten us in the [censored].

The Dogs kicked long and got a lot of goals when the ball went to the back of the pack. They had a player at the back and really just played smart, direct football. Meanwhile, we tried to short pass and handball our way through traffic, which resulted in messy play, poor forward delivery and general chaos. Poor kicking at goal hurt us, but the indirect play and general lack of skill killed us. as others have remarked, Cunningham has become a liability. Doesn’t hold her marks. Can’t kick the set shots and is basically useless at ground level. They need to rethink the FF position.

Read somewhere that he had signed on with some local footy club. Not that it compares to AFL level training, but it’s not as if he sat on his bum since North delisted him. He looks like a man that keeps himself in good shape

Don’t know why so many posters here are negative about this idea. The more I’ve thought about it, the more it makes sense. Majak’s key strength is taking contest marks from long high balls into packs. That’s the Goodwin game plan. It’s been our our weakness for years. We don’t have a big bloke at FF capable of taking pack grabs. Isn’t that what we’ve been asking for? That’s essentially Daw’s bread and butter. Unlike BBB, who is nailed to the train tracks and is a true lead up forward. WIth the likes of Viney and Brayshaw and Oliver bursting out of the middle and with an inability to lower eyes and hit a lead up forward, we can bomb long to a bloke who is tough to match up on, reads the ball well in flight and clunks big marks in packs. It just makes sense to me. All this works on the presumption tht he is dedicated enough to meet the demands of AFL, has a clear mind and avoids injury. However, he has some serious upside and suits our game plan of the last 5 years. This highlights package shows his skill set pretty well

The MCG, if unable to cater for large crowds, should consider utilising the car park and setting up big screens outside the stadium for the fans, in Yarra Park. They have done similar with the cricket and I think it should be considered in 2021. I know tht winter offers up some problems weather wise, but a lot of paid up members, both MFC and MCC will miss out on tickets to bigger matches if there is a 50% crowd capacity. The same applies to other clubs. Just a thought

Can just see this being a bigger issue. Soon enough we will hear he won’t do a pre season match. Then he will miss the first month of the season. Then it’ll be mid year. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, but we have seen this movie before

Melbourne City is owned by Man City and I didn’t mention Barcelona. The point was made by another poster that Man City “have no fans” and therefore pose no threat to the MFC in the Casey area. I am simply making the point that others have made here - with the big money from City Football Group, we are gonna have a hard time competing for youth support in the south east. To think otherwise is simply ignorant. Immigrants that populate these areas are soccer fans. It’ll be a much easier connection than we offer. Anyway, the argument is going nowhere. Casey is a dump and we should get out of there ASAP. Players hate it. Majority of fans dislike it. We aren’t growing fans out there. Move on

I guess it’s like how people say the MFC have no fans. When you start looking at the stats, you realise the reality. Anyway, this isn’t about City, but rather Soccer vs AFL. That’s the argument. I’ll let you chew the EPL attendance stats overs

As a school teacher, I’d have to disagree with you. I’ve worked in primary schools where soccer is king and others where it’s pure Aussie Rules. This is usually geographically dictated. City have plenty of supporters worldwide. Money talks and ....well you know the rest. we don’t have any real cash and will be competing against oil money who want Melb City to succeed

. Given the choice between Soccer and Aussie Rules, competing with the might of City Football Group, you really think we will make inroads? What inroads have we made in the 10 years we’ve been there? Give me the figures? Any migrant Casey kids playing for the MFC? Aguero Vs Gawn.....good luck winning that one
