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.

    Ben Brown might be a good set shot at goal but personally I’d rather be good looking and be an average set shot.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
