In a word, Yes.Thats a lack of foresight, 20 years time you still expect the transport to be terrible?
It's in the 2050 plan I just mentioned...just missing out on the first stage, from Cheltenham to Box HillAnd still no rail link to Doncaster despite how many years that's been lobbied for.
Box Hill is getting a new stand and pavilion and would better for this. Better transport options and in Hawk heartland. not available during cricket season at the moment though.Assuming some AFLW/VFLW matches too.
I know its a pipe dream, but was a capacity (30-35k) stadium ever proposed. Massive money spinner for every non-melbourne club, and we could potentially rent it out to other sports events in the south east (a league comes to mind)
The only way it could approach being a money spinner is if we get $200M plus in grants like Geelong, even then playing 4 games a year there would not be worth it. Launceston is a good gauge, I doubt they make enough in 4 Hawthorn games to pay for the ground for a year.
Nice to get some personnel from AFL especially after they've been pinching some of our big honchos over the years.Thought I'd post this here because of the Dingley reference.
LEAGUE LIST MANAGEMENT BOSS DEPARTS FOR HAWTHORN
THE AFL is searching for a new head of list management and game analysis after Josh Vanderloo announced his departure for Hawthorn.
Vanderloo, who has worked at the AFL for more than a decade, has taken on a role on the Hawks' executive as the general manager of operations and special projects under chief executive Justin Reeves.
He is expected to play a key role in the club's upcoming relocation to Dingley after the departure of chief operating officer Tim Silvers to Adelaide as the Crows' new CEO.
Vanderloo, who had replaced long-time player movement and TPP guru Ken Wood in the top seat in November, will remain at the AFL until after the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft which he will oversee in 2021. – Mitch Cleary
Heard that before *cough* *cough* anyone else smell smoke?According to Don Scot, funding has been put in the budget, but no amount given.
He simply said he had attended a life members function and that's what he had been told. He seemed to think that the new acting premier (a Hawthorn supporter) had something to do with it.Heard that before *cough* *cough* anyone else smell smoke?
Back when smoke was smoke, movin was Groovin.Heard that before *cough* *cough* anyone else smell smoke?
Looks like a usual beautiful day there in Melbourne.
Storm’s here over the last 24hr have been pretty full on.Looks like a usual beautiful day there in Melbourne.
Yep, no real joking matter, especially down Traralgon way and up the Dandenongs.Storm’s here over the last 24hr have been pretty full on.
