News Home base: Caulfield

[Bluelegs]

100% we’ll be at Waverley soon. And agree one is not contingent on the other. Just seems he isn’t wanting to involve himself on any home base discussion publicly that isn’t Caulfield. He may just see it as not helping his cause in negotiations. Even though it wouldn’t matter.

I don’t really get this. We’re not fooling anyone. We want to move in to Waverley in the next few weeks but for some reason don’t want to talk about it.

Both Guerra and Smith have now said we're definitely not moving there, yet all the players are talking about and Morris has reported it. It's bizarre.

Waverley is the best training ground he’d seen in 40 years

Meanwhile, Jiath going from Waverley to AAMI to Waverley....

Like why can't we just be normal? Journos don't report things with no basis, if Morris has gone with it it is definitely happening.

He's usually pretty good, but his best Dees source has moved clubs now...

I always knew Matthew Warnock was a rat.

Take this is reasonably reliable goss mixed with what we already know - Waverley is definitely going ahead. It seems the club is just trying to keep it under wraps until Caulfield is official, which might not be far off if the Smith comments are correct. So Morris will be correct, but the timing might push out a bit pending Caulfield.

Not 100% sure, but guessing there's some kind of negotiation tactic behind timing it like that. Also expecting the club to push a fund raising effort VERY hard off the back of the Caulfield announcement whenever it happens.

I think we just need to go down and see the Waverley environment

said the club was “chips in” on the move to Caulfield.

Gawn said the imminent move to Waverley was “news to me” but he had “seen it around that there was a potential chance”.

“It certainly isn’t even spoken about internally. So we’re happy at Casey. It’s a fantastic facility down there,” before adding, a tad sarcastically, that he liked the drive.

It's all so delightfully shambolic and utterly bizarre.

This is so good! We should drag this mystery out for a couple of years!

We probably will

We're not going to Waverley though according to Porky Pies Guerra...
