See picture aboveTotally. Is such a beat up. The guy from the opposition is acting like it could burn down and kill everyone.
In reality it's a little bit of cladding in one of the stairwells and poses no risk.

I'd say we will only play 7 or 8 KP home games in 2021 due to the redevelopment and lower capacity, so it would be nice to get that extra game this year in its placeWith Gold Coast playing a game in Darwin, and Melbourne playing one more game in Melbourne (10 MCG, 1 Alice Springs) there's a chance the cats may play 10 home games at KP in 2020.
Watch this space...
In the past the AFL didn't reduce our games in the season where construction occured, but the season after where the construction finished in april/may.I'd say we will only play 7 or 8 KP home games in 2021 due to the redevelopment and lower capacity, so it would be nice to get that extra game this year in its place
That's true - could all depend on how long construction takes and if it eats into the 2022(?) season by muchIn the past the AFL didn't reduce our games in the season where construction occured, but the season after where the construction finished in april/may.
I'd hope in 2020 + 2021 we'd get 9-10 games, but in 2022 I'd expect we'd get 7-8.
The last T20 game is on the 22 October so hopefully demo is done by xmas.
Or even 11I'd love 10 games at home
State Gov has alloted $90m or so for construction. Planning works undergoing as we speak, but construction has to wait until the T20 world cup in October 2020.Is stage 5 actually happening
is there a timeline?

Think the State Gov underfunded it assuming Fed Labor would win and chip in, but considering the delay in construction I assume the funding gap can be found over the 3-4 year period since funding was announced to build completion.thought it was reliant on federal money?
My my, that's a surprise.AFL's 'best fit' policy only applies to Geelong and no-one else
The Artist's Impressions that have been floating around the internet for a while now show a similar gap owing to the stairway into the Hickey Stand, similar to the Players Stand join
I think the club should try and be fairly quick in getting into Stage 6: demolishing and rebuilding the Hickey Stand over Moorabool Street. It's starting to look fairly average compared to the rest of the stadium. It would be difficult, but not completely impossible for Moorabool Street to become a tunnel under the new stand, but there's still the businesses on the street that will no doubt kick up a stink about possibly being demolished. Only way to get around this would be rebuilding them as part of the new complex (similar to the restaurants outside Marvel)
Another option to extend the moorabool st wing is go brunton ave style.
Done cheaply at the MCG because there’s no aesthetic reason to spend more money.I am sure that the business on the other side of Moorabool Street would really like that.
Some of the above ... nice to .."if only" about .... but imo zero chance of happening ..perhaps ever... At least till concrete cancer hits all the recent development. Not everyone in Geelong is centred around KP..its not a G .. some do not like what has already been spent on it by Gov.
Really Id think to spend the type of money that would be needed ..and then to not end up with a MCG sized ground playing surface or something similar would be a total over capitalisation of a VFL ground and position that is probably just about reached its max.
It would be more realistic to theorise about building a mini docklands somewhere like Eastern Park or the Trotting track than to talk about reducing Moorabool St to 2 lanes ... So much cost for so little gain. Just how often would it ever be filled to capacity. At least the G has a GF etc every know and then..
Yep. If the cats went to the government for funds to rebuild that stand and it was open to public vote I'd vote against it.
