Binman I said if you need the same facilities as Essendon and Hawthorn then the idea for Yarra park is not going to fill the future 21st century needs. Important word there is "if". I have little idea what is needed, the MFC have " experts" to decide that. My feelings are too fold. Yarra park will be too hard due to political / Greenie problems. Second I don't care where it is really. As long as the players get good facilities and are happy. Yarra park, Casey, Goschs paddock or somewhere in between. What the average supporter needs is running a bad last IMO.

If that is correct why are we even considering Yarra Park. It would appear the MFC have a totally different idea of what is required for an AFL team than Essendon and Hawthorn.

Can you get a rangie on a train Ernest?

All that has merit dj. It just shows how big the problem is for us to find a home that suits. ps. I worked in Dandy south for 15 years and lived in the north west. So I know the journey. Fairly confident the molly coddlied players would not like it one bit.

I think there is a much better chance of that than Yarra park WJ.

I only have ADSL as well DJ ( nbn is available Wife is watching Netflix as I type this on my iPad. Good enough for me. Of course I will have no choice but to join nbn some time in the next year.

Takeover Richmond!

You have my vote DJ. The large problem as I understand it is that very few of the playing and admin group want to go there. In fact I have heard a number of the admin would leave rather than go there and players don't want to live anywhere near there. So that puts a big negative on Casey. Not sure it would fly with "establishment" members either. Seems to me the options are Yarra park ( cannot see it happening ) Docklands ( probably not this decade ) The outer surburbs. Docklands is probably the most likely so what is the ten year stop gap? More of what we have now?

Not sure they make a Dip strong enough for that task RG.

Oh God another Magpie that they did not want. They always end in tears at the Dees.

Sorry cards I was referring to the election result. However I still think there is no chance the Yarra park proposal will fly. Obviously we are going to agree to disagree.

Don't bet with friends cards. However what is your prediction?

We were last in I believe Steve as such we have what was left over. Also we share some facilities. Way better than what we had at the time but probably in the bottom 20% of AFL clubs. Add that admin is in a different location to footy department. We need to improve in next few years. I have no problem with Goschs training ground.

Sad to say the last vintage was vin ordinaire Bbo.

I will need to be on ice for a a decade or two Mr. Shadow. Then perhaps cremated and bury the ashes might work better. That still means a lengthy time in storage though.

Not one sod will be turned in our lifetimes binman. I am glad I am not as dead as that project. The most likely out come of the election is a Labor and Greens government. It does not have a pray in hell chance while there are Greens pulling the strings. Second most likely is a Libs win, no chance even in Hell.

Top of the list Ernest. I must say having a social club does little for me. I just want a good training and Office set up for the players and sundry officials. Achieve that I will be very happy and to be honest I don't care where it is located.

My family share Netflix and it works well for $13 / month. Lets know how Kayo goes DJ. The big danger in this house is a disgruntled Mrs OD from all the sport being watched.

Hmm I hope you are correct Ernest but I doubt it. I am pinning my hopes on no.2 GD. She is only 15 months so I will have to live a fair bit longer to get her over the line. Get a building near Goschs is my wish probably the easiest and quickest, now to that is not say it is easy just the most likely option.

That is big in my world however glad to see you are still in the real world of normal size rooms and a normal ego Dland. When the Dees are winning they look great on my iPad. Much better of course on the 55 Panasonic.

80 inch screen! You have too much money! i have often wondered how far away from an 80 inch screen you have to sit, you must have a big room. Nothing to do with anything but why in our world where everything is metric do we still have wheel sizes and TVs screens in imperial?

Sadly I will be in the ground before the first sod is turned on that idea Mr.Shadow. no where near the G it might as well be at Waverley.

Hell no sell them the club.

Ernest I would not go to Yarra park for a single malt. But back to the real world. Besides Goschs there is nothing in inner Melbourne. It is Goschs or the burbs. Why is so hard for people to understand that simple fact. As for eddy he got the easy option when we abdicated.

There is good one near there, I think it is called Princes Park.
