The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
If we ever do move on and seek out alternative venues in our catchment area, which is now Casey, Cranbourne and East Gippsland. The most obvious is the Island, clearly the city is moving East, kilometres a day One hour from Casey. Moto GP are vacating, infrastructure is existing, and the State Government would love to have a tenant at penny rental, to keep the visitors up. Worth a thought, Melbourne city and the racetrack are Not out recruitment area. Well worth trying a few games at Phillip Island, would be like gathering round.

The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
Stop saying it’s our training ground. It’s a shared community asset. If I recall correctly, and I normally do, Friends of Save Caulfield racecourse reserve had a seat at the table, and it was agreed that we would train no more than 3 times a week, for a total of 12 hours, a week Schools and community groups will be able to book the grounds by contacting the managing officer. Many folk also believe it will be a place to go and get boozed after a game, but that’s a long stretch of the truth.

Dees & Blues in Talks for Marquee Mental Health Game
It’s a subject the AFL need to get better at, with each club allocated a mental health officer. No need make a show out of it.

If it proceeds, a dual membership is obvious. Sharing facilities . A win for both sides, entry to the footy, entry to the races. Melbourne members would have access to Caulfield, Sandown and Mornington.

Caulfield Racecourse Reserve Update,Posted by Friends of the reserve.. @everyone — This is a critical update regarding the Caulfield Racecourse Reserve. It appears the Melbourne Racing Club (MRC) has secured the stables in the south-east corner. Here is the breakdown of why this matters: Public Land for Private Lease: The MRC is selling its own private stables to Mount Scopus. In turn, they plan to lease the stables located on our public land. Historically, they paid only about $40,000 per annum for this. This specific area was previously earmarked for an extension to Glenhuntly Park or a new indoor sports centre. Melbourne FC (Dees) Headquarters: Two possible locations are now possible for the Dees' HQ: The "Wedge" (Western Stables): This is public land. Access may require carving into Pawfield Park. The site is geographically awkward and complicated by its proximity to the new Mount Scopus campus. The Guineas Car Park: This is the alternative option, but the site's narrow dimensions make it a difficult fit for a major sporting facility. The Bottom Line: Despite the grand promises of open space and community access, we are at risk of ending up with nothing while public land is locked away for private elite sports and racing .- PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Richmond
Need to fill it for television, for appearance sake,- Adding a Darwin Game?
I don’t work anymore, but yes it is a fair expense for young families. It would be a great annual holiday though.- Adding a Darwin Game?
Great idea, love travelling to Darwin and the Alice, nothing to be scared of, having a weekend away.- CASEY: Rd 04 vs Brisbane Lions Reserves
What’s the knock on this kid, many thought he would be drafted, wasn’t even initially selected for Casey.?- The New Home Base & Training Ground Thread
“A move to the racetrack remains many years away” So does a change to a right wing Government that will hand over hundreds of millions of dollars, the closure of the track for twelve months to undertake major works to build a massive tunnel. Isn’t it about time we moved on, or the very least hold an extra ordinary meeting to find a new way forward.- VOTES: Rd 06 vs Brisbane

Jack Viney is 32 and is contracted to end 2028. Think about that, whoever is responsible should walk. He has been a fine servant sure, and I never like to bag a man, but if he was 100% would we really be throwing an aging on the slow side battler into our midfield?- 2026 Possible Targets/Player Movement
Give Viney to North, if they still want him, they can pay him, would release an old guy on our list with a big contract. Try and shop JVR to West Coast , be, around pick 40.- VOTES: Rd 05 vs Essendon

Out I must be selective as we have no replacements, and all of this years crop look a complete bust. Vanruin, a plank of wood would do a better job, must be put on the market for whatever. Culley ,VFL player just signed a fat two year contract, not going to make it. Checkers, a real poor effort, finished as a player. Melhshan, one Dads army cadet too many.. In, some youthful exuberance, and A.J will keep them looking over their shoulders.- Dees under fire regarding sensitive and personal information.
Not necessarily, how about an invited party couldn’t make it, wife was doing some wag stuff, player was meeting his Mum. So one or the other recorded it to show the partner. When they heard the breach of player privacy on the recording, they did the right thing and blew the whistle. Plausible.- TRAINING: Tuesday 7th April 2026
This is an outrage, sending thousands of kiddies bawling, scattering from Casey to Melbourne, no excuses accepted this time. Not even if the admin. were on a important training course, on how to use the photocopier. Web sites of course can be updated remotely, where they sit is irrelevant.- 2026 Contract and List Details
We must return to drafting youngsters, we have enough Dads army types to keep us competitive. We still owe a monza for viney, May, the cook and the cooker, will take some years to stabilise our books I would think.- Lord King……All Rise….
He has risen. The king of Kings. Come let us adore him,- Dees under fire regarding sensitive and personal information.
