Dc aren't they at Dingley?

Correct I would add all parties are against the plan. Also interesting that the MCC have never to my knowledge said anything about the plan.

Spot on rjay the way he has been rushed back you would think he was in great form before being injured.

Sorry to be the odd one out MR but I actually like Eddie, pity we did not have someone similar for the last decade.

I keep asking where?

You are correct DJ but I fear the tilting will go.

As I understand coach it is in the Tullamarine flight restricted area. However there is no way the establishment that is the MFC could stomach a facility in the northern surburbs so neither of us will have to worry about a site.

Where exactly SWYL ?

I live at Taylors Lakes, no spare land here coach, perhaps they could pull down Thunder Dome and build it there.

But why are they leaving?

But but it is not in Yarra park poita!

Yes LH and it has all been said before. Let's hope there is something to talk about before 2019 comes to a close.

You can put the house on that one RN.

So where LH?

That probably says it all about our homes till now DD.

If that where the criteria Mr. Shadow most threads would be closed after two pages.

Back then SPC MFC members only got to vote for part of the total number of board members ( cloudy memory but I think it was 30% but it was less than a majority ) the rest where nominated by the MCC. So the blame squarely rests with the MCC.

Does not seem they are prepared to do anything for us around central melb so what other choices are there. I happy to be elsewhere but from Pert and before him PJ they have checked out all options around inner Melbourne and there is nothing available. It appears to me that it is Goschs paddock or the outer suburbs.

SPC I think it was the MCC who kicked us off in the mid sixties so Richmond could play games there and it was the VFL in those days. We have been dithering ever since. Oh for an "Eddy McGuire " at the MFC.

So where rjay?

The last line fixes everything DJ, the Hawks don't seem to have been affected adversely by being at Waverely or Dingley. Docklands or Casey seem the only options to me and as Docklands is probably 10+ years away at best it is Casey for me.

Agree with all that DS but how much longer are we going to wait? IMO 2019 year is the cut off, we have now been without a home for half a century in the words of 1970 "it's time".

Total cynical view DJ but the information seemed to come out just before the AGM last year. There was little comment at the AGM because " there was still negotiations going on" . Fixed for another year! As I have said elsewhere the desire to be close to the G is a very very large impediment.

Re Vic Park my understanding is that Yarra council have no interest in using Vic Park for anything other than local use. And why would the Pies want to go back there they have effectively replaced us in the central Melbourne area. They have a fabulous area now in the old Olympic area and more Government money coming. Every time I go by there I mentally weep. The MFC should be in there however we blew it so now we take the left overs what they are in the future who knows, but we need to do something very soon.

A much higher chance of success MR.
