Think they would want to be more closer to the city.

The timing of the article about the council needing to sell a bunch of assets to survive is ... interesting.

They'll sell off a bunch to try and keep the aquatic centre

They’ll get a better commercial return from the car park and noodle shops they’re building at the old Le Cornu site if the Crows had a spanking new HQ just up the road.

I reckon they'll hold out as long as possible, they'll hate the optics of "giving in to the AFC"
We should be more ambitious.
Take over the entire council after it goes broke.
Build the new HQ/Oval where we want. Level a city block on Grenfell st.
Plenty of half empty buildings.

I would expect us to announce something at the AGM on March 3 2021.

The leader of the bunch.
I could just imagine Roo lashing out at the ratepayers.

Is Dazzleland big enough to fit a training oval?

At this point as long as don't announce Thebarton or any other venue which the SANFL has a stake in then I'll take it as a win.
I'm sceptical on Olsen's keenness for a quick move and Thebby seemingly the early favourite. But he's a single vote at the board table and an extra deliberative vote only in the case of a tie. He hasn't the power to make these kinds of decisions on his own. Every other director has a duty to vote only in the best interests of the AFC.

Just shows up how ridiculous the council was last year. They are sitting on a dead asset ffs with no internal capacity to renew it. Never look a gift horse in the mouth!

Thebarton still seems like a good option to me, so I wouldn't hate that.
As long as we have a committed path forward.
They're so committed to no rate hikes ever they will go broke.
They're not like a federal government that just can just print more money to inflate away their debt.

A good opportunity for the Uber drivers to ferry everyone from AO to TO.
Thebarton has always been my choice, but not so sure now that the SANFL beat us in there.
How is Thebarton any better than West Lakes?
In two years time the housing will be built up around West Lakes and it will look nice. Hawthorn have a similar set up.
Two years time Thebarton will be part of the South Road works.
Location wise, Thebarton is not that close to the city. Most people will drive there.
There will be no aftermath function at any HQ we build.
SANFL have a presence at Thebarton.
Both are similar sized.
I understand we are being pushed from WL by the developers, and will be compensated. Hence we are moving.
But Thebarton is no different to any other location on the West side of town.
I still say the West Beach site, and share it with the Giants, is better than Thebarton.
No SANFL presence, bigger site and less existing infrastructure to compromise. Location, not that far from Thebarton, and most people will drive there anyway to see a training session. We can utilise the Giants liquor license as well. SANFL games won't be played at our new HQ. Nor will the womans teams games.
