My question is, once built, will it be competitive with other clubs facilities, would it attract players etc? Also where in the diagram are the club administrative facilities proposed?

We’d be the only club that could offer equine pools and water treadmills for recovery.

Our footy club has not had a 'true' home since 1964. Accordingly,  I cannot understand any negativity directed toward this proposal.  Caulfield is a central location, close to public transport and for the first time in a long time, will house both our administrative and football departments in the same facility.

How on earth can that be seen as negative?

There are probably those who still believe our home should be in the MCG precinct.

There's already a racecourse, train station, high school and university right there. If you're a local and you didn't already have complaints, I don't see why this would suddenly create complaints.

 

Completely agree @seventyfour.
 

The land once developed would provide for a greater amount of space accessible for the community compared to what it is right now. Some areas at the moment are simply marsh lands unusable to anyone. These complaints are from people who just want to complain/object just for the sake of it.

I see no negative impacts of our proposed plan for the community, only gain. Similar to what the Hawks are doing on an old waste site, repurposing the land. Theirs is a tip, ours is under-utilised land in the middle of a racecourse.

NIMBYS are a plague.

I am happy with that. 

Agree. Clarry has been well below his influential best recently (obviously hampered by his injury).

Dont bring him back until his hand is fully recovered

I cannot remember for the life of me the last time a player playing for a Victorian team requested a trade home to South Australia. Truly bizarre. Maybe Wanganeen? It just never really happens.

The pain of Scotty Thompson gone missing?

He was an absolute champion in the making.

Media reports about possible smoke around the Bont. 

As captain was part of their review - obviously thing's not working.... might be able to pry out if things don't improve.

Go and get the Bont! 

Might be time for a Bont thread!!!

We are so blessed with quality key forwards, why would we want him?

That was sarcasm.

Still scratching my head as to how Kossie gets suspended by the tribunal for a week and yet Cameron gets off.

the inherent risk posed by me scratching my head will no doubt warrant its own suspension.

The MRO, the tribunal, heck the entire AFL is a pathetically run organisation. My hatred (and it is indeed hatred) of the AFL ‘system’ now far outweighs the love i have for the MFC. 

This league is a blight on the game of Aussie-Rules football.

I’d swap out Salem and pick for Bailey in a heartbeat-  his best is A grade

So a guy who can kick and is composed, for a guy who can’t and runs around like a headless chook?

Soft. Is not a KPP.

Wouldn’t fit our team, lacks defensive work rate. Part of the Lions defensive woes. 
 

Great with ball in hand though.

I think we need to get more offensively minded players myself.

we’d try to defend a nil all score line atm.

Where was the effort from the 4th in the first 3 quarters?

As for Petty, 2 touches from an entire game………a limbless person could do better. He can go, thinks he’s a king and yet is lazy with a poor attitude.

Time for Max to get angry with the playing group.

One of our worst quarters in a long time.

we aren’t interested in moving it forwards quickly, as it could expose us going the other way (even though we’re down by 5 goals 🤦‍♂️).

why are we afraid of scoring?

Pathetic performance.

Petty can go, he’s faux aggressive and lazy. Midfield needs a rocket, but I don’t think they’d care tbh.

My kingdom for an attacking game plan

One team has turned up to play, we have not.

Insipid is a word that comes to mind with this performance.

God our mids are looking woeful

Heads still in Adelaide ?

Not the umpires fault we can’t win a clearance 

Back of stoppage has been a weakness for quite a while now

It's not just a lack of possessions for Oliver, it's his positioning too - we're practically 17 men out there with where he is placing himself.

Injury or not, he’s really been off his game most of this year so far.

Break can’t come quick enough for both his body and mind

Dominating hit outs, yet getting spanked in clearances. Need to sort out that disconnect

Could do with Nev with some of their smaller forwards tonight
