That's the only logical way I can interpret it as well...though I then wonder about the use of the word "exclusively"Reading between the lines I interpret 1/3 Harthorn exclusive private usage. 2/3 available to the community when not in use by HFC who will always get priority access....
Admin area, gym, pool, club rooms, shop and perhaps exclusive use on one of the ovals - ie this oval never rented out on weekends or for non-hawk training. Logically, this would be the best of the ovals, but it seems they want to make the one with the grandstand available for VFL matches. How would a club utilise 4 ovals?That's the only logical way I can interpret it as well...though I then wonder about the use of the word "exclusively"
Isnt one a MCG replica and the other is Docklands the others would be configured to other away ovals as required ??Admin area, gym, pool, club rooms, shop and perhaps exclusive use on one of the ovals - ie this oval never rented out on weekends or for non-hawk training.

It must have been an interesting process deciding on what to build as the dollar number rose...
For $200 mil KC built a 20,000 seat very high end soccer stadium recently, absolutely gorgeous and a complete hit with the supporters...always sold out.
Could we have done the same as 50-70 million turned into 85 million turned in to 130 million..... perhaps parlayed in to 200 mill of our own stadium that we bank receipts from directly ourselves?
Well at least KC factored in enough room on the playing surface for players to take a run up when taking corners, unlike the new billion dollar Tottenham stadium that left about two feet before dropping off into a ditch.It must have been an interesting process deciding on what to build as the dollar number rose...

It could also mean revenue from leasing function centre, cafes, parking will go to club.
For the 100th time can we kill any boutique stadium talk?
Putting our testicles into the vice of AFL fixturing is idiotic at best.
Dingley is in the federal seat of Isaacs which is held by a significant margin by the shadow AG, Mark Dreyfus. If people think Jeff Kennet's softening on Australia Day and other matters earlier this year is a sudden epiphany for him they don't get the bloke and his politics. If the ALP win the federal election it will get funded and what is a significant change from the original plan is meeting ALP funding concerns to make it more open to the local community.
HmmmmmNot sure if this has been posted before but I drove past the site yesterday:
