Imho the MFC will and should care less about pandering to the whim of a few hundred occasional spectators. Thats not how you go about a business case for the establishment of a world class facility thats 99% about use by and of a club, its admin, players and coaches. Its about what provides the best outcome for the club in the manner IT will use it. -
Thats us ?
-
Such depth of.....?
-
Its a good point. Where do other teams find it ? Its not like theres a 'shop' on the high street !!

Im not fussed about games against Saints or Suns. The test is the three against Eagles, Cats and Crows. They will all be like the Port game. Fast , furious, pressure... parochial crowd..on three of the worst away venues. I can just imagine the umpiring ? Sydney will be very interesting. At least its the G... Then we have the annoyance of snipers. All of Dockers, Dogs and Giants will want a scalp. We cant lose any if we are to go anywhere into Sept. The Saints and Suns will too...just no ammo for them to do so imho. Good teams find a way home under the gravest of conditions. We don't (yet ) We struggle...and lose Unless Goody gives the lads a different/better roadmap i can't see anything changing ( why would it ) 6 wins is the minimum if we are to be fair dinkum.
-
Yes Port did prime themselves...well...did some homework. As will everyone else we'll play. Itll all be same same but different. If we dont account for the likes of Geelong, Sydney, Weagles going into finals what makes anyone confident of taking the loliies off them in then ?
-
You're not going to get much closer to the Top end of Town....than Yarra Park. Location.. location..and opportunities.

Maybe i have a different take than some: Many seem locked into the mathematical semantics of making the 8. For mine that's somewhat irrelevant..that is...just making the 8. Our 9 game run home sees us up against 4 teams that all but will be in the 8 and 2 ( maybe 3 ) that might upset us by looking for a scalp. Its not enough to make the 8. You have to be there with menace. You have to be relevant and not a stocking stuffer. If we don't win 6 of the next we wont be in any shape, gamewise or momentum to do much more than spectate. Much work ahead...any more injury ( of note ) and a wheel will come off our little red and blue wagon. The games against Richmond , Collingwood and Port reminded me of finals in so much as its PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE. 3 times ...for no wins I wont be keeping September free.

Needs to find his footy again. Magoos for the Truck. He like any can earn his spot back. No places for cameos. Needs to feel the hunger.....maybe try another shower or bath ( new water ) Very disappointed
-
We could have the MCG And the MFG Big G ...little G ( Apologies to Suess (
-
So to those that would consider the location of the new facilities , if Yarra Park ...next to the G ...a bit far...how do you go game day ? ?
-
Goschs paddock...on the wrong side of the road ..right next to lovely healthy Punt Road...lost among codes.. no mans land Or Smack bang next to the G....THE MCG......a small club hit to the new facilities from our ancestral home...the MCC. Why is this even a discussion... Make it so...
-
Im a bit lost here...what real loss to parkland ? In a fashion youll have some rubbishy grassed area not reall usuable for much other than parkibg cars....being replaced by an area of grass usuable by club and community alike. The grass will still be green...no ?
-
A number of elements come to play among all this... looking on as a spectator : Almost funny anyone would see 6 Stories as a hindrance . Just look around....and up ?? The powers that be at the MFC seem very tight lipped these days. I'd be surprised if they relaxed the reigns on this getting out save they thought it appropriately progressed. Further to my noting a trend to explore the construction above tracks I seem to recall somewhere ( happy to be corrected ) that for whatever reason planning permission above tracks is not a local jurisdiction.i.e Spring St can approve with stroke of a pen. For the Greenies i propose that having built our facilities that Punt Rd be razed to the ground and rehabilitated to urban Forrest...seems only fair. Again i think the proposal has merit...legs ? ?? Jolimont might need recasting as Demonland ???

Alp controlled by the ALP Thanks for clarifying that.
-
Governments seem very keen on selling the air space above rail these days. I like the gist of this proposal. Puts us backnear where we belong. Go you good Dees

I have absolutely no idea as to the good , bad or otherwise as to this. I had none either regarding Jackson. Id be inclined to think very few do...but some will. Personally im glad we're still looking outside the club at this stage. There's no denying Pert's pedigree and it was probably better than anyone currently with our club. Thats not to say we haven't anyone with good ability...but GP probably has more and the experience in those positions to go with it. We'll have no idea for some whiles. Do well Mr Pert, welcome to your new home. Continue to make it better. I wonder if there will be any fallout ? Go Dees

This has all the potential to lift to a whole new level of interesting. Nowhere to hide....that day cometh !!

You'd expect the Aints to go hard ball here.If Vic bound i could see him going to StKilda. Good fit

Are we the new filth ? ie...to be associated by rumours to any and all ?
