Why don't we offer use of Gotch's paddock to the MRC for while the tunnel is being built. I'll admit I don't know much about horse racing, but horses do graze on paddock's and the oval is the same shape as Caulfield race track. What would be involved in putting in place the Insfrasutructure to host say the Caulfield Cup at Gotch's paddock for one year. We should put it to the MRC and seek support from the CRRT.

Good news. We need to hunker down at Gotch's until Caulfield is approved.

Why dont we offee $400k for their lease + whatever the lease on the inside of the oval costs. We cant then get the players to go shares in some dogs and do greyhound racing on family day while the MRC can GAGF and find somewhere else to wear their shiny white shoes and wgaer on the horsies.

It should be extra time off, kind of like q suspended sentence.

Pack of barbarians

Is this his way of saying Caulfield is done wothout saying it directly.

This - I'm tired of the hyperbole that our State Government is bankrupt. Being bankrupt means we can't pay our bills, which is clearly not the case. My personal take is that the club is quiet re Caulfield at the direction of the State Government pending an announcement re funding. While there may be some finer details to sort out, I would expect the silence is more to do with timing an announcement with the election rather than any genuine blocker. You don't annoy members with silence for the sake of it unless you expect positive news, especially when you have a clean slate with a new Coach, CEO and President.

The MRC as a stakeholder is a tenant and nothing more. They don't have a say in whether we are able to lease the area inside the racecourse. While it helps that all stakeholders are aligned and supportive the MRC is not a decision maker.

How does the Australian Open intend to expand its facilities around Gotch's paddock. The dog walkers would be up in arms.

Of those the GCS and Brisbane are the team I'd least want to come up against. The others are a bit flakey and I think we will win our fair share against middle table sides.

Great to see the club putting some focus into social media and supporter engagement. The membership campaign video was brilliant and more of this sort of material is good for our brand.

The Doctor will tell him Caulfield's a bust and that while his knee is ok he will be training at Waverley Park.

What I took from the article was that Betsy works for or represents the MRC. Absolute slop journalism if you can even call it journalism.

It feels like an unnecessary distraction. A bit like when players get engaged, married or have children during the season. Sure its nice and I'm happy foe them and all but I do worry about the impact of the distraction on their week to week preparation.

Absolutely brilliant. The only opportunity they missed was bemoaning not having a home to bring the club under one roof and somewhere for supporters to congregate 😅.
