Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
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 ?

Now that Mitchell has rushed back to the sanctuary of the nest maybe Clarko will steer Lewis up to Brizzy too ! MFC has propped up the Dawks for years its all really been about jobs for the boys Tom $cullie right may the downhill slide continue to gain momentum I'm sure Clarko once said a coach shouldn't stay more than 10 years but now he's got the Dingley challenge of course ! May " comeback Jeff " continue the mayhem

Thanks for explaining that WYLB. I always imagined it was because of your proximity to Ripponlea and your distinguished service to the ABC !

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
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 !
