Hawthorn New Training Facility

[rdhopkins2]

Andrew Newbold hinted (again) that we may seek to build a new training facility.

Whilst Waverley could be redeveloped, this is likely to be unlikely.

So, as we approach 2015, where should we be looking to build?

Given the fact that Clarko visited Manchester City recently and indicated that he'd like to develop a relationship with Melbourne City, as well as the fact that Melbourne City still train at La Trobe, would it be safe to assume that a joint facility is possible?

I thought they were looking at Wantirna?

Would knock at least an hour off Lake's travel each day if he's still with us.

He won't be with us when this happens

There's a readymade training facility out near Tullamarine. We just have to wait for the current squatters to be moved on.

Given a bowls club was able to do it I'm sure we could do it ourselves. And I don't mean the HFC but literally just half a dozen of us from this board.

 

[rdhopkins2]

I get the feeling that we may have something from left-field up our sleeve. Expecting to hear more over the New Year.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

No chance in making the new training facility at Adelaide Oval is there? Would make it easier for me to make training sessions.

I heard it was unlikely to be likely.

 

[Agent Smith]

I heard it was unlikely to be likely.

That's the most likely scenario.

 

[Max Force]

So much confuse! Is it unlikely to be likely or likely to be unlikely?

 

[Flukey!]

In all likelihood, the club will need a piece of land the size of 9-hole golf-course for what they will want when it is new and then for down the track.
The likelihood of that happening close to the city would be less likely than likely.
What would be more likely, but still unlikely, would be somewhere like Hallam. But distance would make it less likely.

What is likely to happen is that the club will likely identify what they need, and then get it.
It is unlikely they will consult us on here first.

 

[Suntory Boss Coffee]

We should just buy a golf course with Melbourne City and have a massive training facility with a soccer oval and a football oval. 10/10 idea thx hawthorn I accept paypal and eftpos for my services

 

[Steven Tyler]

I likey likey!

 

[Thaihawk]

That's it, like it or not!

Too far from Brighton and Hawthorn where most players live and not a stronghold for Hawthorn, has to be in the eastern /southeastern burbs

I likely.

Why? There are a lot of well-informed people in here, and every one of them with the clubs best interests at heart. They could do worse. They could consult Essendon, how they have moved to Tulla, how the little herd has adapted etc.

We would tell them, stay the f%^& away from the northwest, lest you be tainted for life.

It might not be a traditional Hawks area but there is certainly a strong presence here. Especially the amount of youth I see getting around in brown and gold the last few years.

 

[rdhopkins2]

I reckon we may find something around Berwick or Officer area.

How long a drive is to Berwick from, say, Brighton? Not an issue, just curious.

 

[spudmaster]

A bit close to Tassie for my liking...

 

[KAMSTAR HFC]

Where ever they decide, it needs to have room for further expansion. We out grew wavery in what, 9 years?

I like the idea of teaming up with Melbourne city, only because of $$$ they can input. Not sure it could work though, we are training there 9 months of the year.

As long as it's two metres above sea level.
