Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
Apart from the historic MCG and Punt Road grounds, where is there a sporting oval or field that side of the train tracks? As a MFC supporter, sure I'd like to see it happen. But a cursory look tells me it should be where the sporting density is: on the other side of the tracks. Loss of open parkland (as opposed to sports facility) and mature trees will be a hot topic at election time. IMV building over the train line is the easier part to get done, if we can get the funding. Maybe this has gone a fair way towards being approved, i dont know. Sure hope we aren't suffering from premature elation. At the end of the day I trust PJ to make the right call.

So they keep Gov and drive up the price of Gaff to maximise compensation when he leaves

Darwin game dumped
Sure, but the issue is more nuanced than 3 word slogans. If we can get Friday night FTA TV and make good money, then 2 games in Alice against Freo/Port/GCS is better than one in each of Alice and Darwin. The red centre isn't too hot or humid mid year. 'Flat' is a furphy. Better than a financial loss at the G in front of 18k

That seems to make sense La Dee. With reasonable proposals, it's a good time to be seeking govt grants

Darwin game dumped
Maybe, but if there is TV coverage and the club makes decent $, it's better than playing in Darwin

Maybe they are thinking of 2 games per year in Alice

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
Comments below article in The Hun have some up in arms that the govt would be giving up public park space to a football club. Not really accurate at all, as it would value add to the park and only be used by club during training times. I'm guessing it would have a basic fence like Goschs. Assuming there is no building proposed on parkland and there are no decent sized trees involved, I can't see the problem. Goschs Paddock oval could even have its posts and fence removed to make it less of a sports ground.

Being devil's advocates for a second, that could change if someone reasonably important in our list wanted a change of club. We all say NO! when Jetta or Gus are raised, but they are yet to re-sign beyond 2018. And that's not even considering the slim possibility that a player within contact might want out. Sure a RFA could join us for SFA, but more often than not (or ever), particularly in the last 5 years, they are traded for.

Two pot shots in the same post. Hilarious!- Andrew Gaff
It's unfounded when based on clearly incorrect facts, or a sample using only Friday night's game vs Swans. We might listen f you made a case based upon reason and real facts without the woe is me- Andrew Gaff
Hey fellas, don't let facts and reason get in the way of unfounded opinions- Andrew Gaff
Norf I'm guessing. He's 26. Are they really prepared to pay him big money at 33? Probably front loaded so he gets $350k in years 6 and 7.- The No T$ No B$ Thread

Anyone can see that if there was an option to poach a rising young gun then the first looked at would be our veterans, especially if their contract can be shifted from the cap. We have enough leadership to cope now. Players can't stay on our list forever, despite the thoughts of fanboys Great intel by Dee-licious too. Much appreciated- The No T$ No B$ Thread
