As far as training facilities go it would be...

Comes with the position he plays...

I was so looking forward to seeing Judith Hill in May this year...been wanting to see her for a long time now. Email just received...tour cancelled. Not the news I wanted...

This is what concerns me 'dazzle'...we talk a good story but never deliver.

Current Melbourne Captain, All Australian an absolute credit to herself and the club. Yeah, I care. Congratulations Kate and Corey...

Same, 'wayne'...I can't see the point in moving from Gosch's if it's only an interim move.

It's doubtful we will be able to fit...that's why Hawthorn left. Not sure on this but someone mentioned gym facilities are shared with the community. If that's the case it's probably better to share with other professional organisations. Is this really that important??? if only for a few more years then surely not...and it's not as though they are a great distance away. A quick walk over the bridge. The big issue I have with Waverley is I would only accept it as an interim with Caulfield signed off, and even the can't really see the point. It looks like smoke and mirrors to me.

Um...just had a look. My view... It was pretty good. Would I buy the music? no... Would I stream the music? no... Would I watch again? probably not... ...but it was good viewing.

Best read your post 'Red'...

I don't think so...

I think this is why we should have no need of an interim facility (Waverley)...we already have Goschs and Casey.

Completely agree 'Red', but unfortunately I don't trust this board to get things right. It would be another in a long line of poor decisions and covering a.... Yep...

Not so sure, Kozzy will be a handful and we still have Steel, Sparrow and Riv for some muscle. The mix is going to be interesting.

Kind of but different...the local VFA teams had a core supporter base not much more than an average local team. A lot of people aligned to a VFA club when it was on tele, but they were never hardcore supporters as was seen when the broadcast disappeared. The VFL clubs were poorly run but the supporter base meant it was always an attractive proposition for sponsors and broadcasters. The big money that came in from interstate saved a lot of embarrassment. The timing couldn't have been much better.

I tend to agree with you 'picket'...the current system is broken.

The VFA was dead in the water, the AFL then using its bones to create the re branded VFL kept a lot of those clubs going. If the AFL go to a proper reserves comp then there will be no VFL. It wouldn't survive. The non aligned clubs barely scrape through now.

I know they were making offers on properties around the back pre Covid...I guess a lot has changed since. I must admit I haven't noticed student numbers... Very interesting.

Funny you say that 'Macca', I totally agree. It's a friendly. Could you imagine the NRL putting these restrictions on??? Whateley this morning was still talking it the whole thing up...saying how the players were all in etc... ...flogging a dead horse I reckon.

I'm not sure anyone is saying they are...

Thanks, they are a fair way off Elgar Rd that's why I wasn't sure what you meant (thought Surrey Park or Elgar Park at first as hadn't seen the map)...but yep I know the grounds, have played there a number of times. Not sure they are part of Deakin or council owned. On Deakin I know they've been looking to buy up properties around Stott and Cardona St for a while, maybe the purchase of Mount Scopus makes their expansion easier.

Which sports grounds on Elgar Rd are you talking about?

Me too 'Macca'... Tribute bands for a start, I will never understand that one.

I think we're a big chance 'Pick'...he will round our list off beautifully.

The Mongrel is usually on the money but not sure if this is correct... "Turner started out as a forward, but was wisely moved to defence" ...didn't Turner come to us as a defender?

The way this is going it's more likely we get notice to vacate...and nothing else.
