Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
It is almost right next to tulla airport not Essendon airport. Was out there Friday night a 2 minute drive to the terminal buildings.

It has been investigated, little room for expansion and evidently the local council has no desire for expansion as it smack in the middle of a residential area.

Changes vs West Coast
Looks like we are liable to loose two Backman. Of the MFC players at Casey the only one would be Petty and will he was ok at windy Hill, he did not put on a display that looked like it was AFL standard. Expect some gap filling in the back line. Smith should play along with the giant. Baker played ok but not a pick me game IMO.

Yes but 76% are other clubs what enthusiasm do they have for helping the MFC? Zero

Spot on DJ, expecting the MCC to do much for us is folly, they have ignored us for 50 years why would a change of heart happen now when the majority of members in 2019 are members of Hawthorn, Essendon, Collingwood and Carlton.

We gifted them the Olympic park facility, so no ground near the G is left. They play at our home ground as though it is there own and have facilities. All forms of government are falling over themselves to gift them money and facilities. The MCC make way more money out The Pies than us. We share every thing in the G area with other codes. we are doing just fine!

Essendon VFL v Casey Demons - Round 6
I was there yesterday DJ, a couple of years since my last visit and back then they had a decent scoreboard. I fortunately took my binoculars, yes folks it is that bad. I was surprised that Casey won so easily, Preuss took them apart even though I though he was used sparingly. It might be my imagination but I reckon he was used sparingly with a trip to WA in mind. I watch a couple of players closely ( well I tried ). while I thought Sparrow and Petty did there jobs well at this level Baker was the only one that looked worthy of a senior game later in the season. Of the kids I liked the game of Chandler, he was probably not in the top half dozen but showed some promise. If we don't pick Smith for a forward role in the team for Perth we have rocks in our heads. While he is never going to be a very good player at senior level he is a solid mark and a good kick for goal. Yesterday he was used around the centre quite a bit with good effect. Based on yesterday's form he and the Giant are the only ones I would pick for senior duties in WA.

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
Yes to all that Mr. Shadow. I was at the 2017 AGM and PJ said as you say. From memory he said that they ( MFC ) commissioned a $100k + study that showed nothing large enough was available close to the G. Docklands was mention as there being plenty of land big enough but at that time there was no plan under consideration by the government or the city council.

Changes v Gold Coast Suns
That won't happen until we get a substantial number of the injured back. The simple fact is that between now and at least the June break there is no one else at Casey better.

Club facilities for supporters are grossly overrated in the 21 century. What we need are the best conditions for our players/ FD and to attract potential players. The rest is nice to have but far from a necessarity.

Why is that a problem DV8? The players, staff and FD won't be arriving by train and it is no further than current from train stations. The members will only be there very occasionally if ever.
