I hope Mr Pert is engaging with whoever is succeeding in extracting these countless millions of $s from the state government for the never ending development of the " tennis precinct " now scheduled to flow on to 2024 I also hope he is engaging with the " traditional owners '' of the land who are now so revered on the big game occasions at the MCG I well remember when the MFC trained on an open oval on the north side of Swan St and it was the only development between the Yarra River and Punt Road on that side I also well remember the development of the south side of Swan St for the 1956 Olympic Games.It too was pretty much public parkland enshrined to us by our forefathers apart from the Commonwealth land occupied by the Artillery and Engineers depots ( that's where our Vietnam conscripts departed from ) .When the freeway was approved ironically that land ( next to Gosch's Paddock was acquired) and was transferred up the road to where Rod Laver Arena now stands as compensation. To the best of my recollection the MCC/MCG is administered by an authority which automatically includes the Premier Tennis or the traditional owners of Yarra Park ?

Its a bit like the MFC story, no commentary !

I've won an AFL contract to install the weather viens at Blundstone Arena for season 2019 You probably wont hear from me for a while as I work up to my season finale in round 23 !

Look I'll freely admit to being a few years older than OD but not as old as CBdees Which probably means we've all lost our memories of sex However when I see the Headers on Demonland and Interverviers I cant help getting aroused !

To most of us plonk is just plonk at whatever price !

I reckon after todays political result we should up our ante and immediately set our sights higher. We should all don our red ( and blue ) shirts and point out to the all conquering Victorian Premier that we are the only AFL side without a home training base, despite the fact that we are the oldest club and are Victorian based. We would be perfectly happy to call our training grounds the " Victoria Police , Fire and Rescue Training Academy " and Peter Marshall could be the CEO ! Surely 3 training ovals and 3 storey high offices isn't too much to ask ? In my lifetime I've seen Swan Street raped as Public Ground where MFC used to train I think the Fitzroy Gardens is the perfect place !

I'd like to see us be Pertinent next year without us being the only AFL club without a home training facility

In the interest of longevity of this thread could you ask the captain to put out a mayday call before you embark that all remaining single women are most welcome to join Demonland. Boilers are most welcome !
