Oh, I got you. Yeah, I agree and it's pretty unfortunate.
Exactly, not until a governement puts big money into the Eureka stadium, which lets face it, might never happen.
And if North (and now the Bulldogs) are sinking significant money and effort there like many say they are, without the guarantee of playing there, it's a ridiculous waste of money.
Hobart is a real option as you play there. Get people to your games and you can win them from there.
Nobody owns any area of Melbourne or Vic except for Geelong. The rest of us are just Melbourne CBD clubs, incl the Bulldogs. You can't grow anything unless you play there and people can easily walk in. Until games in Vic are played outside of the current 3 grounds its a pointless exercise. If you want to nurture an area Hobart is a great opportunity.
Running a clinic or two for some school kids every now and then isn't going to achieve anything.
