VISION STATEMENT We have a vision to make south-east Melbourne the destination for a new A-League, W-League and National Youth League Club with the aim of becoming Australia’s largest football heartland. With 10 Clubs currently in the A-League, Team11 is the name of the community’s bid to bring the 11th Club to south-east Melbourne. ABOUT THE BID In Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs we represent more than 156 nationalities, but we speak a common universal language – football. The region boasts a rapidly growing population in excess of 1.2 million when combining Casey City, Greater Dandenong, the Cardinia Shire, the City of Kingston, the City of Frankston, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Gippsland. With 89 grassroots clubs and more than 12,000 registered players in Victoria’s most multicultural region, we feel that Melbourne’s south-east is Australian football’s best kept secret. The region regularly produces players that make it to the world stage, headlined by Springvale City junior, Socceroos World Cup player and Team11 Ambassador Vince Grella, and current Socceroos duo Jackson Irvine (Endeavour United) and Bailey Wright (Langwarrin, Mornington and Dandenong Thunder). Not to mention the women’s game, including rising star and recent Matildas call-up, Pakenham-raised Jacynta Galabadaarachchi. So, to turn that breeding ground into a fully-fledged production factory, imagine this: A boutique football stadium in the heart of Dandenong; a state-of-the-art training and administration base at Casey Fields, which will be accessible to the community, and; junior teams that will be almost the exclusive domain of local players. This will be a Club built by the community, for the community. We are football lovers desperate for professional men’s and women’s teams on the national stage. We intend to be one of the biggest football clubs in Australia and we know that, with your support, we will be.

With all these bids coming out,it's just so sad the few highly paid execs at FFA are the main obstacle to growth of our game.It used to be the evil forces outside of Football.But now it's. FFA against virtually the whole Football community.

Melbourne’s south-east continues to have a strong football footprint which is not surprising considering its DNA. It is steeped in football history but much like the region as a whole, it is largely understated.



Vince Grella, the official Team11 Ambassador, is perhaps the region’s most notable product and one of many who wore the south-east regional team’s green shirt before kicking on to play professionally and internationally.



But Grella is just one of no less than 15 Socceroos, 25-plus internationals and in excess of 50 players to have played in the Hyundai A-League, National Soccer League or overseas, that have been produced in our local backyards, parks and football fields.



Current Socceroos trio Jackson Irvine, Bailey Wright and Ajdin Hrustic were all born and bred in the region before pursuing their professional dreams overseas, along with Scott McDonald, Ljubo Milicevic, Curtis Good and Eugene Galekovic.



Former Socceroos captain Paul Wade also grew up and played in the region, while John Hutchinson headlines the many products from the Latrobe Valley, many of whom got an opportunity during Morwell Falcons’ (later Eastern Pride) almost decade-long spell in the NSL.



John Maisano, Joey Di Iorio and Anthony Pelikan are among the players who’ve officially represented Australia at youth level.



Naum Sekulovski, Simon Storey, Joey Rajher, Rade Culibrk, Antun Kovacic, Paulo Retre, Xhezair Sulemani and Paul Byrne are among the locals who have played in the National Soccer League and/or the Hyundai A-League.



The region has also produced Westfield W-League and Matildas players, but that number will only increase in the future, headlined by exciting local prospect Jacynta Galabadaarachchi.



The region is represented in the WNPL competition by Southern United.



Currently there are 89 clubs and over 12,000 registered players in the south-east, and this number is growing rapidly.

Would back this before a geelong team and i don't particularly like the south Melbourne bid, they would be a definite inclusion in a 2nd division in 25 years.

Fantastic news and glad to see the bid has launched!

Being a Victorian I really can see a lot of potential this region has if it plays on the national stage!

The region has longed for professional sport since the AFL sold off Waverley.

1.2m people represented (& TV audience foxtel wink wink) shows there is plenty to be excited about.

A boutique stadium in Dandenong



Dandenong has been agreed upon by the local councils as the site of the Club’s football-specific stadium.



The Club envisages playing out of a boutique stadium with a minimum 10,000-capacity, with the capability to expand in future.



In all likelihood the stadium build will require Government funding, but private investment opportunities are also being explored.







Casey Centre of Excellence



Casey Fields has been agreed upon as the Club’s training and administration base after formal talks between the councils.



Yet to be constructed, the vision for the precinct is to provide a Centre of Excellence for south-east Melbourne, which will rely on partnership investments.



With its main training pitch flanked by a 4000 capacity stadium, our men and women will train on an A-grade pitch in a world-class facility that is also capable of hosting W-League, youth league and A-League pre-season fixtures and marquee games involving our local clubs.



Additional floodlit natural turf fields and synthetic fields will also house local clubs.







Matchday experience



Match day in south-east Melbourne will be about more than just the 90 minutes of on-field action. It will be a cultural experience to savour, from the moment fans commence their journey to the stadium.



Restaurants, cafes and pubs in Dandenong and the surrounding areas will be heaving, while Harmony Square will be set up as a live site with food trucks and cultural performances encapsulating the region’s rich multicultural flavour.



Inside the stadium, the stands will be a melting pot of the world’s cultures with fans of all backgrounds supporting the Club representing the region that welcomed them and their ancestors with open arms.



Finally the region’s rich football culture will come to life.



Links with the community clubs



This is a Club that will rely on the help of our local clubs, our local councils, our schools, businesses and community groups. But this is a Club that understands the responsibilities it has in the region and it intends to live up to those.



While the A-League/W-League Club will lean on local clubs for promotion of its games and to help it build its supporter and membership base, the Club intends for our relationships to be mutually beneficial.



Discounted A-League memberships to local players, coaching and administration support, clinics and locally-flavoured A-League match day activations are all part of the plan. But most importantly this Club will provide a professional pathway for all talented boys and girls who call south-east Melbourne home.

Looks like they're going for the corner closer to the Dandenong CBD in the above video than my stab at it a while back:











You can see the same building with the green roof at the bottom of the video and on the right of my pics.

Certainly looks like Greaves Reserve as the planned stadium site, as the Dandenong Mayor has already mentioned.Looks like they're going for the corner closer to the Dandenong CBD in the above video than my stab at it a while back:You can see the same building with the green roof at the bottom of the video and on the right of my pics.

Your right Pala the stadium looks smack bang in the middle of Dandenong Redlegs football oval.

Imo from being at the premises recently, its far too narrow to run a football pitch with proper stands & infrastructure behind the goals.

The aussie rules oval has the far boundary line being very close to fencing (within 15 metres) which backs onto the train tracks.

The area where you have proposed is by far the more logical option with less intrusions & space isn't an overly big issue.

I think the south bid is better purely because it's more advanced, this south east bid does read very well although a lot of what they promote south already has. Will obviously cost a lot of $$$ and take a lot of time.



If the ffa were smart they would monitor the development of this bid, if they go for it they should use South to help build a 2nd division, ultimately neither will probably happen.



Is the south east really that much of an untapped market though?

I remember your recon mission, AP, well done!



I was carefull to measure with google maps the distances required for a stadium when I mocked up Hindmarsh at Dandy, I would imagine that's where the main facility would end up, with plenty of room for ancillary grounds in the rest of the area. That or they'll spend a little more and move over the road and displace the other buildings. With such strong council support it's all possible.

The State Govt has already tipped in $121m of the near $200m spent upgrading Kardinia Park and has just tipped in another $3.9m for design works for the 5th and final stage so you would hope they would be prepared to put in significant funds to the stadium in Dandenong if the team goes ahead.

Thing going against this bid is the lead time required to get the stadium up



Thing going for this bid is Gallop has a long history or inaction and stalling which would be enough time to build a stadium



Key will be Dave approving the bid at the beginning of his multiple year procrastination rather than at the end
