It was nothing more than a shitty coked up idea someone had while at the races. Look at all that spare land in there behind the horses!

It’s definitely a “look over there” project to keep everyone quiet until they find the best time to pack it in and pretend that Casey Fields would be a stellar idea for a home base.
Also why would anyone think it is a bright idea to have Goodwin, Oliver and May spending more time at a racecourse?

I’m glad we are forking out member money to someone who isn’t delivering then.

Wasn't this whole thing Pert's brainchild?

I believe so. And everyone said rightio because Collingwood successfully got their new home under his tenure (though they started with a more plausible proposition)

They don't give away developable land though.

We don’t really need to develop it though. Just paint some oval shapes, bang in some poles and erect a shed with some stationary bikes in it.

Sounds like it could be an extremely positive end to the year. Don't want to get too positive, but fingers crossed.
I wonder if the fact we would need to be at Waverley for multiple years before Caulfield is finished gives us he edge over tigers to get it.
You'd think so. I mean even the coach had a dig on his way out about where we train.
If Caulfield gets the green light end of year, what's the word on how long it will take to build? 2 years? 3?
Not sure to be honest. Assume with planning and approvals etc then the building it’ll be a few years away from moving in even once given the go ahead.

What held them up for so long, funding?

From Hawthorn, yes, but what about Dingley?

Vacant land in good spots is always vacant for a reason.
I'd have to look at the plans again. But Caulfield is a fantastic location. I cant remember what it all looked like. Was the ground in the middle of the racecourse?

There is no oval inside the race course . Might have an issue with the ponds inside the race course though , my old High School is out the back . There is an oval out the back ,but i don't think the VRC owns it .

The plan on the website shows where we want to ovals to be https://www.melbournefc.com.au/club/creating-our-home
Although I think the location of the actual facilities has changed since this was put up? Feel like I heard something about us looking to build them on the northern part closer to the station.
