They're a strange lot in those outer eastern suburbs. I remember there was a ground up that way that had a tree on the half forward line with the fence straddling around it. Somewhere near Olinda if anyone who lives out that way can confirm.

Except footballs can get lodged in trees and not fall to ground.

Interesting council on sports. Prefer Knox next door. Football in the Eastern Suburbs used to account for roughly 60%+ of all players playing the code in Victoria at one point, not sure of the stat nowadays.

Some pretty big footy clubs and sausage factories ( from Auskick ,underage groups and seniors) often responsible for recreational activities for 300+ players per club, plus girlfriends, wives, parents and supporters.

Sporting clubs cover the length and breadth of society, often provide outlets for disadvantaged kids and broken families . Generally very solid social citizens often massively overlooked by councils and their funding whilst the clubs pick up a fair bit of the social responsibility for them on weekends. So pretty good look from a tuned in council. Take a bow.

By the time the tree has played 50 games it wil be big, strong and dominating in the air. Just needs to build experience.

Knox council spent $10,000 bucks on staff meals and accomodation to discuss ways that the concil can save rate payers money……ironic. I have to go my tax payer funded push bike has just arrived.
