Not a pain at all. Tune in to K Rock or Triple M, listen for the late changes and park within a kilomotre of the ground. It's a great experience especially with our win/loss record.

Not sure if this has been mentioned previously (?), but heard on the Rumour File on 3AW this morning that as part of the Stage 5 Redevelopment a "Father / Son" statue will be commissioned. If true, very, very fitting.
What will they call the new stand the 'Abletts Stand', the 'Father - Son Stand', the 'Gary Ablett and Gary Ablett Stand' or just the 'Ablett Stand'?

Modern English, please. Not Shakespearean English
Why not literally a Father Son stand .... The Ablett Bay , The Hawkins Bay , The Scarlett Bay , The Turner Bay , which ever family has supplied 100 games plus from father and son ( some how I think the Blakes miss out)

Excellent idea...... but me thinks political correctness would not allow that

When you hear how far political correctness is being taken, who knows? I reckon the 'Father-Son' Stand would be fitting, but I can see people saying it ought to be 'Father-Sibling' Stand so not to alienate possible future AFLW champions whose fathers may also have been champions of the club.You are kidding
I described someone as an old woman to a mate a few weeks back and was hauled over the coals by a woman within ear shot. "You mean Fuddy Duddy, don't you?"
How could anyone complain?
We all know Gender is only a construct, so if we identify as 'fathers and sons', its totally up to us to call a stand as such.
The world is going mad, and the West is in terminal decline as it flees from God, and runs away from its historical roots of Xian/Judaeo ethics etc.
As soon as we have multiple premiership aflw players then we can start looking at that .. but really.. REALLY.

If Ford are keen to stick around The Ford Stand would be good. Perch up a nice Mustang or Ranger behind the goals like the Camry's at the Telstra Dome many years ago and it'd look great.
If not The Ford Stand, I'd go for something like the 'City Stand' or the 'City End', and really focus the stand on the people of Geelong (murals on the walls of Geelong crowds and famous moments in both the clubs and cities history etc.). In recent times the Ford Stand/Ablett Terrace has been the more accessible end (in terms of ticket prices) for the lower and middle class earners in the region so it'd be fantastic if that could be maintained into the future, and both the name and design of the stand could be there to recognise and honour each and every Geelong citizen and Geelong supporter and member.

I doubt he would want that sort of recognition, but I'd name it after the guy who basically saved the club. (Saint) Francis Costa.

Yeah I like that. Peoples stand or something.
And let's be honest the people paid for it.

I really think the
"Non gender specific guardian/ Non gender specific child (traditional, IBF or adopted) Stand"
has quite a nice ring to it.

Full development plans attached, looks good to me
Looks great! A lot more kit than the Players Stand. Looks like most of the rudimentary spaces in the Hickey stand (umpire and oppo rooms/stadium offices) will be in the new stand and new cricket media boxes.

Low key, does anyone know if this jumper is available to buy? (wonder if it's part of the new merch)
Not sure if it is available in mens sizes anymore but its been around for a year https://cottonon.com/AU/afl-kids-ol...lPid=9801338-07#q=geelong+&lang=en_AU&start=8
Looks amazing! Anyone know when it is going to start?

Would be good, but can't really have west facing cameras for day games.

Yeah, didn't work too well when they tried it during one of the construction phases.
