Ed promised us ...

We are talking 7-8 Years Ago

I know right. Do you remember the 1990 flag?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

I don't pay for shit unless it's $500+

Not interested in bargaining for peti privileges re.. best reserved for commoners.

Enjoy

It’s all relative.

Classic jmac, everything is relative when it suits your argument.

Eddie does it again......watch the footy show people.

What he said NOW?

What he said NOW?

AFL has just made a massive announcement in conjunction with the State Goverment about upgrades to Etihad an MCG and Eddie has his fingerprints all over it.

Sorry Dave a heap of money also goes to grassroots footy and some will go to Victoria Park

 

[Mkcaptain]

Like what?

The AFLW team

Sounds like just a tiny bit to Victoria Park

But what a huge deal. Hands off to everyone involved. This is absolutely massive.

The Grand Final at the G until 2057
The MCC redeveloping the Great Southern Stand
Etihad/Docklands redeveloped
The AFL House being knocked down and replaced with a huge complex/hotel
$250m for grassroots/womens footy

We have no Say in Vic Park so it was not up to us.

Yarra Council is the 1 in Charge of Vic Park

Don’t worry Mk Eddie doesn’t do nothing for nothing.

He always has our interest in mind even if some of our supporters don’t think that.

I love Eddie

Yeah but he has Completely Stuffed the Footy Side of the Club.

Yes, he has the Right Intentions but need more then just that

Disagree Dave that he has stuffed us up.

You’re entitled to that opinion mate.

Yep agree 100%

I'm hoping for a big outcome for Collingwood but at this stage I'm keeping my expectations low.

But even if there isn't anything much for Collingwood individually, the deal is still massive. Ed's fingerprints are all over it. Absolutely massive deal (reading this post back I think I'm sounding like Trump but its true, this deal is huge).

We've been hearing snippets for months. But now that the final product has come out you realise just how big this deal is.

Don’t underestimate that we are a stones throw away from the biggest stadium in Australia.

Like I said Eddie doesn’t do nothing for nothing.

I know for a fact he relocated Athletes and a Soccer Team to South Melbourne just so we got the Holden Centre.

My initial thought is that we're in an election year, and the Federal government has just announced a not unexpected increase to Victoria's share of GST revenue, and the AFL --in conjunction with a State government in search of re-election-- has just announced a cash splash on football.

I'm not meaning to be sceptical, but without reading any detailed analysis of how this funding has been negotiated, I'm not sure why Ed is getting any credit for this one.

Not credit JB for Ed but Gill has used his contacts without a doubt to get this over the line.

Two years negotiating.

Good politics, good for football. Hope the money for Victoria Park convinces the local council that more football should be played there.

 

[Saintly Viewed]

Be nice if we could discuss the interstate games watched (or not) at the Holden Centre.

But no, must turn into bash somebody thread.

A bit poor in my view.

As to the issue, I prefer home home home for such things.

It would be awesome if we played all the AFLW games there and more VFL games.

I love Victoria Park it has a soul.

I couldn’t be bothered starting a thread Saintly......go easy no one is bashing anyone.

Agreed, it's a civil thread.

As to the original topic of the thread, which you interrupted in a politely rude sort of way, I'd much rather watch interstate games from the sanctuary of my own lounge....

Agree with the couch idea JB

I scare too many people in public.
