List Mgmt. Our Trade/FA, Suburban & Country Town Thread

When I was growing up, kyneton was very bogan and in terms of the Calder towns the real beginning of country Victoria and genuine farming. Due to the fruit blocks requiring less land, it was Bacchus on the Western Highway.

You wouldn't recognise any of those towns these days. Even places like Woodend and Mt. Macedon are trendy suburbs these days. Daylesford is super trendy and very expensive for a town stuck in the middle of nowhere

 

[sr36]

Yes, same experience, i think we are of similar age (young and vibrant).

Kyneton was super rough and stained by a similar curse to ballarat (church stuff). Its now close enough to melbourne to have the castlemaine change of the late 1990s... it has good cool bones for the melbourne alternative migration.

Bacchus, market garden core and surrounding broadhectare farming is close enough to melbourne to have the commuter suburban housing demand

So when do people get priced out of Gisborne, Woodend, Kyneton and move back in - to Sunbury or more bizarrely when does Melton's affordability make it the place to be?

I will challenge you on that manic, with respect. The towns you mentioned were always leaning or were on the tosser side of things, they just got more tosser. The towns you mentioned were always weekend destinations for the melbourne wealthy from early 1900s

Yeah I know. Macedon belongs in that list, but Mt Macedon was a millionaire's retreat back when I was little and millionaire was extraordinary and Daylesford was built as the London to Bath style healthy waters getaway for the elite.

Woodend literally can not grow anymore, its full of white want to be rich retirees. Gisborne, mmmmm, not what you would remember. Kyneton, i have high hopes, there is still genuine diversity. Sunbury has now more land supply identified for development than the hume growth corridor. The country leaning people will keep moving out, want to stay in the broad housing market of nw melbourne, movement to sunbury......as you stated.

When..... its happening now.

Melton.....it is affordable...

A cultural change will occur over next say 10 plus years, high density back in the inner and middle suburbs.... particularly the east

Gisborne has become one large collection of supermarkets and coffee shops. Just before COVID I was there one Christmas that was so cold that we were considering a fire. I'd come with no warm clothes and drove into Gisborne to buy something warm. Nah. No clothes for sale in Gissy. Go to Melbourne for that - except for socks and jocks at one of the 10 supermarkets.

Well why didnt you get your nails done and get a hair colour, and if you have a designer poodle, get a trim for it as well, plenty of options

I did a meditation course, saw the light and knitted a jumper out of poodle clippings. It was all good.

I look forward to lasting peace in the Middle East

Outstanding content on the last few pages in the Trade and FA thread.

Someone used to take the V/Line train from some woop woop place to Melbourne and someone else's dad has planted a tree somewhere in that region back in the day.
The only other possible way I'd be able to acquire these amazing insights if I attended some kindagarden show and tell sessions.
So my sincere gratitude guys.

If we’re taking 3 at the ND, we don’t have a list spot so a moot point.

Still think it is a real possibility that we take only 2 picks in the ND like last year and then promote a rookie like we did with Steene last year which leaves a spot open for someone like Tomlinson.
We also may be looking at ways to improve our points for the 2025 draft by trading one of our 3 picks this year out on draft night.
Given who we have recruited already , my preference is to take 3 picks in ND.

Wow.
I never thought of myself as super trendy.
But apparently I am.
Better tell my girlfriend.

...Daylesford is super trendy and very expensive for a town stuck in the middle of nowhere

Daylesford is somewhere because I've been there. It's come a long way since it was a bunch of cottages overlooked by a Convent run by austere nuns.

Hepburn Springs is coming around to accepting Daylesford as a neighbour.

Earlier this year wife and I scored a complimentary 3-4 days at the Lake House - their food is glorious. Spent the final quarter of the Anzac Day game walking around the Lake as unable to watch the agonising draw.

Do you reckon he'll eat a lot of peaches?

It’s a red herring. The singer moves to the country to eat himself a lot of peaches, then later confides they were “in a factory downtown” all along. Don’t believe his lies.

Hey mods!
Can the Woodend, Kyneton, Melton posts etc. be moved elsewhere?
Please!

 

[gtrain23]

Yeh this is bizarre.
Checking into to see what’s happening and reading about Kyneton is not what I expected.
In saying that it is nice to be living here

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Hey mods!

Got any suggestions to where? Surf coast, Wimmera, Gippsland maybe?

I'm looking forward to the end of this shit and we get back to footy ffs.

I think the footy will start again before the Middle East experiences a burst of peace

Fair call but leave the Daylesford ones here

 

[Jen2310]

This prob will be quiet for a while given we are done in this space until next year with focus on the draft

 

[pablo disco bar]

With 3 late picks I would be happy with the pies using 1 pick on what they deem best available and the other 2 picks or spots on Tomlinson and Cumberland

Can't see 3 x mid 40's or 50's picks doing much especially in 2025

 

[cfc19902010]

Is the club still considering Tomlinson or has that ship sailed?

Hopefully it’s sailed halfway around the world past
