Opinion New AFC HQ: Stalled Indefinitely

[ChilliP]

Let's presume it's a done deal, who gets a stand, who gets an end named after them?

The Tony Modra end is a no brainer.

It’s a training facility that is being reported not a stadium.

It'll most likely be a home ground for SANFL, AFLW and maybe preseason games just like Alberton for Port. That way it becomes a source of income for hosting matches.

I feel like you need a forward at one end and a defender at the other, Modra and Hart ends? Modra and Doedee ends?

I also think the club should look to start some long-lasting traditions when they move into a new place, like statues of every premiership captain or something like that.

The Jarman canteen.
The Brett Burton medical rooms.

I’d doubt the last point and AFLW very much.
Use the dockers new base as an example, it’s not used for anything or this sort.

Or look at Brisbane's new HQ for an example that will be used like that. Having a top quality ground for AFLW will be a big help to convince the council to hand over parklands to the club.

They're not going to allow fun in the parklands.

They allowed Adelaide Oval to be built in parklands in the 19th century, so the precedent has been set that it's ok to use the land if it's a place people can go to watch sport, which is why I think it will be a key part of our proposal.

Since the 19th century North Adelaide has been populated entirely by nimbys, killjoys, and the type of people who like to form committees to hear their own voice.

There are enough existing grounds around if we want to play SANFL/AFLW at a boutique oval

This will just be a training facility I reckon

Maybe But by incorporating a Women's Ground it grantee's a larger grant from both Governments,

I'm in that photo. I've done a fair bit of walking around there and on the other side of Lefevre Rd to the dog park. The only action that I've seen is stored roadworks equipment on the edge of the oval. And, you wouldn't believe it, an actual game of social cricket being played by a bunch of blokes on my last trip down as well. Otherwise, outside of the people parking along untimed Barton Tce East, nothing happens at all. That's why you won't hear me complaining about the agistment fields. At least that area is being used. Oh, and if I was to get a horse, I'd be allowed to store it there.

Any chance that we can come with a deal so I put a horse in there? And maybe a couple of moody calves?

 

[Red Crow]

Using it as a home ground for AFLW and future AFL Reserves fixtures is a no brainer IMO. Make it feel like a proper home. Doesn't need big grandstands all the way around. Just a small seating area off the back of the training complex and grass mounds all the way around. I don't like the current nomadic nature of playing AFLW games at different grounds.

We'll access that by incorporating women's training facilities

 

[MarcusP2]

Is there any other option? Uber eats?

Agistment means the council would have responsibility for feeding them as it is on their land.

The distinction is that in times of poor pasture availability the owner is responsible for extra feed, not the council.

Women or trees would be an interesting parliamentary debate these days.

SHY would likely combust.

Desolate wasteland....minutes from the CBD.


Now imagine our Park Lands filled with
AFC training and admin centre.
A water park
State of the art playing fields for community sporting club use.
A large adventure playground
Skate Park
A couple of amphitheatres
Well maintained Dog Park
Network of maintained working and cycling trails
BBQ and picnic areas.
A nice pond

I’ve always thought my best return would be renting out my address for school zones.
