It’s my understanding that Paul Guerra sits on the board of racing Victoria and may not take part in any commercial in confidence meetings on behalf of the Melbourne football club.

Farewell Christian Petracca
Nope, ungrateful, disgraceful person, who must be confronted, shame on the loser.

Dingley looks ok, you may even walk in and have a grand stand to sit in. Maybe a cool drink 😭

Really, an administrative head quarters. This is 2026, folk work from home utilising computer networks. No need for rows of desks, and the massive overheads. This is just madness, living in the seventies. It’s clear to me that Smith and Guerra are not living in the modern digital world. Will they still hold board meetings on site with canapés and the liquor cabinet. Ever hear of Zoom. Has anybody heard from these people, not likely, not likely.

I’ve had a gutfull to be honest, but the lack of communication from Smith and Guerra has been inexcusable.

Ensure that the club sends them flowers, don’t want any players doing a Petracca.

The fund was designed to replace gambling income with a stable income stream, allowing the club to avoid reliance on AFL assistance during financial downturns, and the capital may not be spent.

Caulfield Racecourse Reserve Trust chairman Sam Almaliki said once Melbourne “secure funding and are prepared to actually deliver the project”, they would need to enter into a lease agreement with the trust, who manage the precinct. “Their biggest sticking point isn’t about what is happening with the school or anybody – their biggest sticking point is that they haven’t been able to raise the funding needed to deliver this project,” Almaliki said. “The trust’s major interest in this project, whether it is Melbourne Football Club or anybody, is to see funding that improves facilities and community access to those facilities, including the two football ovals that would go in – because they would be made available for community use as well as the football club. That’s our interest in this. Sam made this statement last August, ongoing meetings between Brad and state government continue.. We have 15 mill in the bank. And are confident another 15 could be raised by donations. Leaving a 70 million black hole for the Government to fill. It would be a long shot in an election year, in my opinion. Just food for thought, A country fire truck is worth $840k, we could probably do with eighty of those, so yes gifting 70 million to a minor sporting club is a big deal.

We will or maybe be leasing an area from the Trust. The school and the racing club have nothing to do with our negotiations.

Anybody heard a whisper about the proposed Caulfield Training facility.

Bomberblitz's MFC Preview
A very sobering assessment, surely Viney and Steele won’t be in there together. I would like to see Tommy Mac and May go forward with big Johno. Heath, Roo, Luka, Mihocheck, and Jefferson represent a Hail Mary at best.

It’s fairly simple. Just be deceptive, build a Trojan horse that wouldn’t look out of place on a racetrack. The team jumps inside and pedals the mechanism across the track to training.

Firstly there is no Board as such, elected by the share holders(members) In my view there a bunch of cobbers whom pass the baton around amongst themselves. If you don’t believe me try and stand for a vacancy. Caulfield is a bust, an idea first touted as. Social club venue in the 1980’s. If there was in reality any good news the board would be ramping up the rhetoric, but instead have gone to ground. I still don’t believe a Government on their knees financially are going to shell out 100 million plus to a very minor boutique football club with little popular support. There is also the moral argument, moving young men into a venue that promotes gambling, alcohol and the mistreatment of animals. I often wonder what Peter Jackson would think of us today.

The trust are obliged to support the community. Not donate precious land to a boutique football club, ain’t that the truth.

MFC COO Chippindal Calls Time
Shafted by the board, great acting CEO, and we wouldn’t have had to bring someone in to teach him the job, outrageous. The club is a lessor place.

What are the security concerns with the gambling and nobbling of horses. Massive,… race days, jump outs, trials, pokies, bar flies every where. Mt Scopus will be completely locked down, arm guarded. Amongst all this a few people are going to be walking around waving their footy flags. This is problematic, I say, and will take years to sort by all type of Government agencies.

Our wonderful board, hand picked by their mates, everyone else is excluded, couldn’t arrange a plate of sandwiches.
