They could cure cancer, fix climate change and give free lollypops to every child and the senate enquiry would still be ultra critical...without ever actually offering any solution themselves.

While I'm not opposed to the driving range, your recreational golfing has to be stopped.

I'm not at all opposed to the driving range, it's just a good example to juxtapose against people's perceptions about the whole park being a wilderness area and how small the stadium would actually be.

Interesting, it's included in the master plan for the new park.

It's still going to have a golf driving range which you will only be able to access if you pay a fee. The stadium would be about two-thirds the size of the driving range.

Absolutely agree but DV slavishy followed the pacing of the book.

Stories like this tend to bubble. Goes quiet for a bit then something happens or someone says something and it explodes again.

I think both of these are very real possibilities.

Reddit breakdown of the options.

Being a movie and not a book they left a bunch of stuff out. The film is basically the story as it relates to the Bene Gesserit. I'd love more Mentats and Guild but it would have been 30 hours long had they tried to include everything. Think Chani's character is way better in the film than...

Keeping in mind that the 1.5 to maintain the Gabba will not be covered by the IOC money and will be tax payer funded.

Quirk also said in his media conference that their recommended location was over the current golf club car park and buildings. Also, there would be green space offsets at the Gabba site.

Schrinner is the other critical factor. Does he play ball or go political scorched earth? At least we are likely to know the answer on this pretty quickly.

Love how the Courier Mail came out massively backing plans to build a stadium in Victoria Park, but as soon as that is announced as the option they have second thoughts.

It doesn't have to be cost-neutral if we get the right legacy outcomes. If it blew out by a billion dollars and we got an amazing outdoor stadium and an amazing indoor arena and we saved ourselves a billion in Gabba upkeep and we hosted an Olympic Games we still get a fantastic deal.

The Brisbane Bold guy always sounded extremely 'optimistic' when it came to the costings.

He is going to have to do something. There is no point doubting the great man, in Denis we trust.

I thought he would for sure do that with this movie, but I felt he kept very much to the pacing of the book. The epic battel sequence at the end would have gone on forever in most films but was over in the blink of an eye. He is such a fanboi, I'm just not sure he is going to make fundamental...

Titan Luxe Newmarket, is pretty much objectively the best cinema in Brisbane, no one there to check your tickets.

I've been talking up DV for years and agree he can do anything, but he also sticks very closely to the source material and Messiah is just not an epic sci-fi action-adventure, it’s a lot of people sitting around talking. He is going to have his work cut out for him.

I believe the claim is "more open space".

They are covering over a lot of the ICB and railway lines and are converting some of the original locations for the stadiums into greenspace.

...It is interesting, it certainly has generated a significant amount more positive feedback across the board than anything else suggested. It's a much more dynamic proposal putting the venues in the same location. I hate marketing cliches but it is genuinely bold, and I think it makes the...

Yeah but there would have to be a massive asterisk next to it saying that the cost did not include transport infrastructure. The "underground inner-city bypass" thing alone would be a doozy, but there would be plenty more where that came from.

If someone had a unicorn stadium idea that somehow solved all the problems and was cheaper, they would jump on it regardless of the terms of reference. But I'm not holding out much hope of that happening.

I can't see any way it would even be remotely possible for it to be a lower cost.

And to make it clear my criticisms are 100% of management's lack of strategic acumen in the field, not at the club's social team.

Yeah, I just like to take any opportunity I can to point out how god-awful the club's (lack of) communications strategy is. I reckon combined with Neale's statements this is the club's soft backing of the proposal. Seriously doubt they would say anything official.
