Olympic Park Redevelopment

Featured Replies

 

So people will be able to see Melbourne train from Punt Road? Luckily I am changing jobs and won't be travelly home that way for much longer. I would have caused some traffic jams.

Thanks for that,pity we didn't snag Olympic Park

Just being settled and having goal posts will go a long way to our future success.

 

I go past the site every couple of days and it's encouraging to see it's progress. All the major excavation is well and truly completed, the concrete lift wells are completed and the stands are starting to take shape as they have concrete in place and you can kind of imagine what it'll look like now.

Despite all of Bracks's lack of decision making delaying this project, it seems ahead of shedule.

I'll try to take some photo's to post in the next week or so.


thanks for that.

Just 1 questions does that mean collingwood train on the Storms ground?

On thier current ground yes, but Storm will be playing at the new rectangular stadium by that time (where melbournes headquarters and training facilities are).

I thought we would be sharing the old Olympic Park ground with the filth?

From memory that was how it was reported in media. I must be wrong?

Yep you are..we are /were never going to share with the filth. The media gets a little confused at times...poor dears.

I am curious as to why the Filths training oval needs "grandstands " ?

 

Somewhere for their fans to sleep?

should have thought gutters perfectly adequate ;)

But seriously..why any grandstands?

It could be made into a boutique stadium, holding say around 28 thousand. We could play low drawing interstate sides there make a decent amount. And it would [censored] the filith off no end to nick there training ground, this alone could make it worth while.

BB: read above

hadnt seen that before mine posted. makes sense though.. Also.. theres another "gate" the wobblies make money from. I'l lgive them this..they arent silly !!

There is no room, Batman Avenue is right against OP.

As I dont 'know" I'l ask. Who wil actually control teh new facilities to be built on Olympic park ? Will Filthville own some lease. Or will they be a head tenant of sorts. Just curious .. Cheers

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
