If anybody has been to Ikon park it’s a tear down and needs a shitload of money. It is in a snobby area of rich elitists who won’t have sufficient lighting bc it affects their poodles sleeping behaviour. Parking is terrible and access on trams is slow and uncomfortable.
Punt rd should have been first off the rank as it has location , parking and public transportation. About all those other ovals , well fmd Casey Fields we’re all going to have to hire Lindsay Fox’s chopper to get there. It’s the arse end of the world and it takes me longer to get there than it does to Traralgon a 100 miles away. Andrews is not a smart man or he hates Richmond , but hedging my bets I would say both.

issue is, we dont have a womens side - they all do
this was a massive factor in allocating the funding if what i heard 2-3 months ago is right

But we do long term and by the time the girls get up and running the works could have started. If what your saying is true then it’s typical Vic Government
incompetence with short term thinking.

Seriously if that’s te case then I’m perplexed as IKON park could cost them the election bc locals hate the joint and want it closed down. As for Casey nobody gives a s**t whether men or women play there as the same handful turn up each week . So spending millions on it for aflw is not going to grab them much more votes. Footscray I would’ve thought was a safe alp seat, but not certain as demographics have changed over there. Moorabbin will probably be their biggest pull.
Yeah I meant after it was apparent we don't get any cash.

ikon is the home of womens afl footy under this plan. it transcends the local electorate
its the same for all of them, except moorabin, and thats because they are financially ****ed

It does not as most of those snobs couldn’t give a s**t about footy. It will backfire especially with the strain on parking in the streets and on public transport if they happen to pull a crowd . They’re targeting a minority group of votes and hurting the majority. As I said it’s short term and stupid bc Punt Rd and RFC would put growth and support into aflw more than those suburbs. Have you seen the turn up at IKON it’s hilarious? How they think this is going to swing the vote for them is bemusing .

People driving there and parking in the side streets like the old days. Not sure if the council has put restrictions in over there, but either way there’s still going to be more traffic over there. AFLW It’s in its infancy, but you’re ignoring the demographics of Parkville as these people the majority couldn’t give a s**t about football. It imho will have more of a negative affect. Just my opinion and the only way we’re going to know this is at the polls and comparing votes to previous elections. Until then I will maintain that it’s bullshit and they missed an opportunity with PRO and the RFC . We will start five years later than all the clubs and pull in bigger crowds and the politicians will be saying I’ve got a good idea let’s put money into developing PRO. It’s how it works with these short sighted fools.

were the money come from now
I live and work in and around the Casey and Cardinia region and have watched games at Casey Fields and Beaconsfield and followed the kind of events and programs they are running in the community etc. I think the Casey Fields investment is worth it as they do quite a bit especially with engaging a broad range of community. The south east is a pretty diverse and growing region so I guess growth of the game is good in that regard. I thought that something to coincide with our business in Cardinia may have been appropriate given the fantastic work we are also doing engaging with the community.
They pull pretty decent crowds to any footy down there relatively compared to inner “Melbourne” when you consider how much of a sprawl the city has and how far it is from the central action so I don’t think that side is so bad.
As you said TigerImposter it takes you donkeys years to get down there - but for the huge population in the South East it ALWAYS takes them donkeys years to get in to inner Melbourne. Obviously this is apparent everywhere in Victoria and regional and country areas but at least it’s a baby step in spreading the web and access to elite services and facilities.
