For reference, Geelongs stadium, which is relatively small has already cost $175M, the 5th and final stage has been costed at another $100M, this is for a 40,000 capacity ground.
The newest NRL stadium with a 30,000 capacity which opened 2 years ago, cost $360M.
The club failed in its bit to...
You are leaving out a very very important piece of information here. Is the debt good or bad, there is a big difference and one the President would be very aware of, seeing as though he has made his money from investing.
By being desperate to pay off the debt, I assume it’s bad debt and getting...
I never meant to talk about either sports likelihood of concussion, or what either sports tries to do, just the reaction to a participant getting a concussion.
it turns out I was mistaken in my comments regarding a 6 month suspension, on closer reading, it looks more like 30 days, I’m quite...
A sport which knows the risks of former participants coming at them with lawsuits vs one that thinks it’s not an issue.
The sport is irrelevant, not to sure what your comment is implying.
I have no doubt that, if you stump up the $150M to get the stadium up to current standards, the board, the AFL and the fans wouldn't have a problem playing there.
Looking at his numbers from his last two years at GC, gives a bit of confidence, that with longer quarters his output will increase, I’m not sure it’s going to all of a sudden increase to a higher output than at GC but he should get better.
He is great with ball in hand, like a few of our guys...
When I see that stat line, it reinforces to me that, Jack Martin still hasn’t progressed from talented youngsters, to consistent AFL performer.
His numbers are too low for both a midfielder and a forward and I think many expected more. He showed in his first game kicking 4 goals what he was...
I know it’s a different sport and with a lot higher likelihood of concussion, but UFC just suspended Conor McGregor for 6 months, after his loss on the weekend due to concussion.
Missing one game although a good start, seems like a low base to start from.
I think you have partly expressed a simple solution without specifically saying so, the umpires, take far too long, to blow the whistle, this as you said, leads to pile ons, mauls and forceful slinging to the ground.
We as supporters get frustrated every year because trends and undesirable...
There is obviously a reason to delay signing, I’m backing him to bounce back from a disappointing season (by his high standards) and it seems he is too.
There is obviously some risk, he could have a poor season or get injured, I’m not concerned he will go, he’s just doing what’s best for his...
Cheers for that, I was just doing a quick look and noticed a lot of studies coming out of the US in relation to the importance of increasing neck strength to limit the damage of head knocks, do AFL player specifically train the neck?
I saw Andrew Flintoff in his Tv show training to become a...
