Could just imagine the crowd at the granny now if Mont and Boro were to play off. F@#KING HUGE

I remember Mont vs Bundoora in 2013 was massive but you're right, Mont vs Boro would be huge

Where is it going to be than?
Preston where else
Horrible news. What’s the reasoning? Didn’t someone say it was confirmed at LatrobePreston where else

In years to come maybe. But how can it be possible with no seating etc.
Temp grand stands? They had them throughout my entire junior career and you can place them all around the oval.
anyways not going to happen, very disappointing

More chance of Gold Coast Suns winning a premiership than this scenario unfortunately
Doesn’t seem that far fetched. Finals numbers were down.
People voting with their feet?

I agree with you and heard La Trobe as well. I'm guessing the partnership with Northern Blues is too strong with the NFNL and don't want a change. Whatever the reason looks like it will remain the same unless La Trobe get some stands going but who knows. Preston is more central as well but yeah small crowd figures

A Collingwood prelim on during the Div 1 granny wouldn't have helped the crowd numbers.
Plus banyule is a club with no following, just cash grabbers who come and go.

Unpopular opinion, unless they got stands in, it would be better off having the finals at Cramer.
Not sure how many have actually seen the space, but there is no way you could host a finals series there now and have everyone comfortable with good viewing spots. There is the rooms which will provide some rain/sun protection, a small hill for spectators, but other than that it would be a disaster.. Unless as mentioned they install temporary stands to have people sit but even then that wont help the issues the wind and protection from rain/sun.
For the most part there is actually a slight rise up until the fence and as good as it looks, the fence is actually quite high so little kids wouldn't be able to see over it if they are around the ground.
Just my opinion, don't shoot me

Looks great. Just need to dump a bunch of dirt and make a man made slope around parts of the ground. You would make plenty of $$$ in the process and would be a premier local football venue.Unpopular opinion, unless they got stands in, it would be better off having the finals at Cramer.

Huge amount of parking
Perfect location - Halfway between your Montmorency(16 mins) Greensborough (11 mins) and West Prestons (9 mins) Northcote (17 mins)
Let’s hope it actually happens in the not to distant Future.

I agree mate. I think it's the ground the league need to use in the future, but right now it's not quite there yet. I went and had a look a couple of months ago in person and on the outer wing (left of the image) the grass actually slopes up to the fence. You could only get one or two people deep on the fence to be able to watch. Cramer street has it's many, many flaws, but atmosphere is not one of them.
In saying that, as 10517z mentioned, if they can manufacturer a man made hill around the outer side, as well as a bit more undercover/seated area for the elderly, it'll be absolutely perfect.

Yep agree with the above points, I'm absolutely all for the Latrobe move it makes so much more sense, just don't agree with the outcry that we're not there this season. If this is the plan to make it more spectator friendly in the future, I'm happy to stay at Cramer until it's ready. No point moving for the sake of moving and then we are stuck at a ground that isn't quite ready.

Will be interesting on how Greensborough bounce back after that draining end to their season for both the seniors and 2's. They should perform but looking forward to see who challenges them. Let's not forget how dominant they were this year

Hard to say but we were told a few weeks ago to "standby passengers" and all they've announced is Doug Morris and Majak Daw's ruckman brother.
