For anyone who's interested I can confirm it is a horrible night in Hobart, had to pedal my bike down the hills to get to work otherwise I would have been blown back up them.  Just sitting here listing to the rain belting down on the roof. Shame because yesterday was perfect weather for footy.  Anyhow, should make for an already terrible game to be even worse.

Just need north to get up to get my multi home.

There certainly are a few hills in Hobart mate.

You post makes one wonder what the economics of a roofed stadium in Hobart would require.

Not sure we'd get the events/attendances to make it work.

Interesting article here on stadium costs ... unfortunately it does not go into the roof costs.

The new WA stadium averaged out at $17K per seat which is very high by world standards.

Location: Borisov (Belarus). Capacity 14,000. Cost per seat: $4000. Location: Port Moresby (Papua New Guinea). Capacity: 15,000. Cost per seat: $3700. Location: San Jose (US). Capacity: 18,000. Cost per seat: $7500. Location: Buriram (Thailand). Capacity: 32,000. Cost per seat: $720. Location: Mainz (Germany). Capacity: 34,000. Cost per seat: $2500. Location: Sao Paolo/Palmeiras (Brazil). Capacity: 43,000. Cost per seat: $6400.

I could go on, but the point is clear. If football venues across five continents, including clubs from the Bundesliga and the MLS, can be built at least 25 per cent cheaper than here, and in many cases more than 50 per cent cheaper, why do our governments continue to pay so much? The new AFL Perth stadium is up around $17,000 per seat. Incredible.

I’m sure Carlton will be better when they don’t have the gale force wind.

At this stage I'm not sure if they know where the game is being played anymore or even their own names.


Did not realise Carlton were this bad. 

Wooden spoon coming up

I really like the look of Jack Silvagni. 

Especially because he plays for Carlton.

Think you will find Australian wages are very high compared to many countries around the world. Just a thought. 


I am glad we don't play in Hobart this year. Having said that they should move North down there permanently and carlscum should play all their home games at Etihad instead of contaminating the MCG.

They decide to build the new stadium in the middle of a boom and massive skills shortage.  hence the contracts to get workers were way above average.  They should have waited a few years when the boom was over to get it down.  Would have been far cheaper.

West Coast & Fremantle are both very well run sports entertainment businesses- think they can afford it to keep their supporters happy.  

Think they made a few errors but I’m sure they can fix them up.

How can it ever be a horrible night Hobart ???? You've got Lark, Sullivan's Cove, Nant and probably another half dozen excellent whiskeys down there. Buck up Big F 

It's great watching Carlton get absolutely flogged, even if it is by North.

Even after their poor start to the year the media still want to try and talk up Bolton, talk up their 'good' young players... and then they come out yet again and serve up this sort of rubbish.  They are going nowhere, fast, and it's a joy to watch.  

Maybe SOS can recruit even more GWS cast offs at the end of the season to get them going.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
