Whitten Oval has a Cafe

Why does that small writing thing sometimes happen?

When you spellcheck in the text box it tends to stuff the font up.

Rob has enough trouble chasing Philly away. What chance would he have chasing the lot of you at once.

If there is one I'd like it to see bratwurst with sauerkraut.

Not sure what you're getting at LT.

It doesn't matter as much for your wants as it does for the coaches to build a cohesive team.
I just think......I may be wrong, but I think.....it would be better served for development for all players to be playing together and even at the same ground they train at and call home.

There are people that enjoy watching the guys coming up through the ranks and the more interest in all things "your club" the better off for all concerned.

I think he means that the VFL tends to be more popular when the AFL team isn't going too well.

There are pros and cons to having your own team, it would be good to have our own side and play at Arden Street but we are probably going to be heavy in the KPP prospects for a while given our established ones are ageing so I am not sure how many you can effectively develop at the same time with one team. I think having two teams has allowed us to provide good opportunity to our ruckmen and our KPP.

What's the good in a café that only has one cup?

One cafe. One cup.

Sounds like the title of a footscray porno.

The posts here suggests that this needs to be raised at this years AGM.

Don't copy us guys, you need the "spongey floor" that made Cooney choose Essendon over North

It was either the cafe or Jarrad Waite.

Recruiting Jarrad Waite forced out the cafe.

To hell with a cafe, make it into a kebab van!

It's my understanding that an Aldi Expressi machine will be set up next to the trophy cabinet on training days. Gold coin donations only. BYO milk and frother.

Boost Juice stand, seem to popular these days.

What about toilet facilities? Not sure I'd feel comfortable with Arch supplying those due a previous incident.

Well hey we make more money from a VFL game at WO then we do from most AFL games at Etihad, so screw you guys

You make money, you're ahead right there.

Funny gag aside, you have probably hit upon the number one reason why Arden St can't be used to host VFL games. In order to secure council funding for the development, there were strict controls on the amount of square meterage that had to remain available as public parkland. Under those guidelines, we cannot erect any new dunny blocks.

I don't understand councils. They seem to be so obstructive for the sake of it. I live in Canberra so I can't relate (state gov/ local gov hybrid).

You'd have to ask Seaford about that -

There's quite a few more than 1 out West

Bring back the NCDC!

As to yr qn, a morass of regulations to be followed, inherent conservatism and, generally, the quality of staff and reps (pay peanuts..). But yes, petty dictators at staff level. Apologies to anyone who works in LG.

Not sure of all the rule and regulations involved, but for the VFL final at Whitten Oval numerous Portaloos were bought in for the day.

We're not talking about a final, this would be every second week throughout the season. With set up time and removal, it amounts to a lot of time that public space intended for parkland is actually being taken away from the local community.

Yep paying for using the dunny in Italy was very annoying especially if you had a turtle-head poking out and no loose change. But it's not the only thing annoying about the Italians. I recall an appalling diving incident in the World Cup 2006.....and I don't even like soccer.
