Not sure how much of the eastern stand will be Jack Oatey but some of it will be was on ten.
It should be the whole thing. But honestly, does anyone think the SMA will have a sense of whimsy and put his name on one of the ends near a pocket seeing as he basically invented the checkside?

I'd like to think they're not all robots with bad combovers.

Actually pretty neutral
New dimensions will be 167m x 124m according to the Crows.

Wouldn't be surprised if the actual fence-to-fence dimensions haven't changed since the Western Stand was built, but the goal-to-goal dimensions are shorter than (a) I expected and (b) they were for Round 24, 2011. Although, they've taken away the old bricked areas for the sight-screens, so maybe the goals will be in the same place but it will look like more space between them and the fence.
