Training Ground?
We will get an update at the AGM.

Training Ground?
Yes and I am about the same distance and really excited to go to training more often, as it will coincide with my retirement. The added benefit will be an occasional hug from Ghosty. Hopefully they will have a small cafe and track watchers will be able to have a coffee and discuss training.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
We need to get one of our favourites in Jeffo up and running and then my boys for next year, Kentfield, Howes and AMW.

Farewell Clayton Oliver
Agree it was a power play. A play to show that uncontrollable, undisciplined footballers are not welcome in a team sport, that requires everyone to pull in the same direction. If you think that a fractured locker room is not worth fixing, then so be it. He was my favourite player, but he was hurting the team, not helping it. Remind me where we finished the last two seasons with Clarry and Tracc still on the list. Yep we could have kept them and maybe finished 14th again, or gone the other way and brought in 6 new kids and 4 from other clubs. I know what I prefer. Also, King hasn't lost a game yet, so I hope that answers the first 6 words of your post, as silly as they were. You will enjoy life and sleep better, getting behind your club and not knocking it all the time, though I admit it has left a lot to be desired in the last 4 years in the management area.

PRESEASON TRAINING 2025: Bright and Myrtleford
Cuz looks physically ready to go. McAdam does look stronger than I can recall.

Mick Stinear Steps Down
Yes, he won't have to travel all week. Surf Coast to Casey must be heaps of fun.

Worst Ever Draft Decision (& Best)
I think Toumpas was coming off a hip injury and plenty of Demonlanders didn't want him and wanted Wines. Toumpas was a dumpy looking slow player and Wines was a 188cm midfield brute. Anyway another bit of spilt milk.

Welcome to Demonland: Thomas Matthews
Doesn’t SHE? Have the new players been briefed on avoiding the Ghosty hug at training?

Yes, how could you have missed that? Yes, how could you have missed that?

Sounds like Casey will be used for games primarily then, not training.

My comments are that good they should always be repeated.

Hassa Mann
Have met him many times and he is a wonderful, modest, friendly true red and blue bloke.

Worst Ever Draft Decision (& Best)
Jack Watts was a better player than Toumpas without question and was acknowledged as the best or second best player of his ND year. Toumpas had his doubters from the beginning and many wanted Jack Viney’s good mate Ollie Wines and were very upset when we chose Toumpas. But spilt milk now. There is no doubt that after an few obvious picks each year, the job gets much harder predicting who will be a good AFL player. I never saw Kozzie as he is now, but JT might have.

Worst Ever Draft Decision (& Best)
So true. I just predicted we would win the first test in two days, as well as predicting the winners of this year’s Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate.

Training Ground?
Don’t tell me the Premiership cups are going in Fantasy land.

Training Ground?
We would be building east of that oval and I have no idea on the second question, but looking at that area currently I would guess no, as it doesn’t look big enough to support a VFL crowd, but who knows. I don’t know what the future proposal for Casey is either. Maybe others know something about this aspect of our future plans.

Welcome to Demonland: Riley Onley
Agree as I dislike the word. Had never heard it until a few years ago when it started to be used in the AFL.

Do you mean Max at 34 in the 2009 ND?

Training Ground?
It is the only stand alone option of the three that have been mooted. The first to me always seemed impractical. The buildings can be totally fenced off from the rest of the area, excluding the ovals of course, with it's own separate access to the adjoining streets being Neerim Road and Queens Parade.

Training Ground?
That's what I thought, but I have been corrected. Its back at the 2nd option, which is FAR better than the original one, in size, access, shape and transport options. While the 3rd option is close to Caulfield station, maybe it was too close to the MRC facilities for their liking. The 2nd option, the South east Corner, is about the furthest from the grandstands and MRC facilities and maybe that is all for the better. It is also far from the school, not that they were concerned at all, as they are totally with us and supporting us and are excited by the MFC as a neighbour and that is from the horses mouth, pardon the pun. With the amount of overseas students at Monash Caulfield, living in the newly constructed plethora of apartments, the MRC membership and to a much lesser extent with the school, we also have the chance to grab some new supporters and members, with maybe a joint MFC/MRC membership being attractive to some.
