This is dizzy stuff folks..

It is only Dizzy for the brethren who believe we are of to Caulfield. Take it to the bank we will be at Waverley sooner than later and we have a snowflakes chance in hell of EVER getting to Caulfield, PERIOD. What that will ultimately mean is that in the absence of any other viable alternative, Waverley will be our home for the forseable future. All over red rover!

Sadly I think you are correct PF.

Not quite sure about the first paragraph. No other state is quite in our position and if the commonwealth was underwriting Victoria Glasgow wouldn’t be hosted the Commonwealth Games.

Agree that $20 million should be a drop in the ocean for the state government and it absolutely should be framed as a community use project. It is obvious where the hold up is coming from.

I think we will eventually get there but more patience is required.

Not getting into political arguments but have a look at https://adepteconomics.com.au/australias-rapidly-climbing-state-debts/ According to the graphs, Vic public debt (both gross and Nett) per capita is increasing less than all states except WA over the 5 year period. Just on the debt amount (not per capita) there is not much difference between Vic and NSW and we have a hell of a lot more infrastructure than Sydney.

This is a classic case of a big whopper getting thrown out there then someone basing all the dire predictions upon it.

It would NOT take a year to build a tunnel.

Caulfield races in 'seasons" effectively and there's quite a bit of non activity through the year. Any half decent Civil outfit could work around any and all constraints.

There would be NO reason to impact the racing AT ALL !!

This is nothing more than 🐂💩 scaremongering by someone with an agenda.

Whether Caulfield goes ahead or not....its entirely do-able.

Whomever fed the story to BETSY is on a mission.

Wasted a decade chasing a dream site near the mcg, 2 yrs ago Pert announced Caulfield dream and will waste another 5 yrs, it’s unbelievable how this club just can’t get things done, understanding that they can’t control all aspects but FFS… Hope Waverley is done as Gawn said news to him ..the silence is deafening from the club… Tom Norris reports are what then???
