Does stay there hidden under the seats or can it be dismantled and assembled elsewhere?

I'd love them to use one of the asphalt velodromes around a country footy oval. The one at Wangaratta would be perfect. Something tells me that won't be happening.

Not so sure about the velodrome track length vs the dimensions of a decent sized Aussie Rules oval.

I think there are more marginal electorates in Geelong. Watch out for a further Kardinia Park stadium and associated facilities upgrade. 

Wanted so much to click the "vomit" button for this post but that would have been unfair to LDVC.

Clicked like, but i really didnt.

Do we know if all the events are in country Victoria? Could we have been waiting for this announcement hence the silence from the Club regarding any future home base. Are the ducks lining up at long last. If so Kate Roffey needs a sainthood.🦆

I think I've got a little bit over excited. The Games aren't until 2026 but still what's another 4 years.

Disappointed there was no update at the Member's Brief last night unless it was during one of the spots where the live feed dropped out.

Missed it last night due to footy training but disappointed that there was no discussion around if true.

I need to find a link, but I was certain it was either Pert or Roffey last year said they would have an announcement by the end of the year with confirmation of our new home base. 

We're nearly 3 months into the new year and we've heard nothing.

The club will put a link on their website today.

Nearly 3 months into the new year? On 17 February? You don't ghost write Mick Warner's articles by any chance? 🙂

Heard the same message for the past 5 years and we'll hear the same for the next 5 years

"As much as we would love to give an update, there's no information to give at this time. It's a complex process with numerous parties. "

"We are in constant discussions with the State Government, Melbourne & Olympic Parks Trust and the AFL."

"We've seen the preliminary plans and we believe the facility that we are putting together will be a world class state of the art training facility with a Social Club so our fans can come together and sing the song after a win only a drop punt from the MCG located in the heart of what we believe to be the best sporting precinct in the world"

"I can understand the members and supporters are probably getting a little frustrated at the lack of an announcement but as soon as we have the sign off from all parties to give the go ahead we'll gladly update you all."

Serious question: Is that actually what was said or have you crafted what you imagined might have been said? Because, if it's the latter, it's very fine trolling!

Nope that was all in my head. I've heard it enough times to know it off by heart! :)

Does it matter, we just won a flag with the boys having a kick to kick, and having a beer afterwards, don’t change a winning formulae.

Yes, it does matter. 

The rest of the competition will improve this year as we must.  If we expect players to improve the rest of the club and the resources around them need to improve. 

And we owe it to the new players coming through, that may not be as elite as our current top 10, to ensure they can be the best they can be.  Facilities will play a role in reaching their potential.

Is the re-surfacing anything to do with the new training base or just a separate thing? Either way it will be better for our players feet.

It will happen one day LH. Just don't hold your breath of it being in the next 5 years.

Separate thing, it is also not just a resurface, the oval has been expanded to now make it as long as the G and as wide as Etihad.

The home base is still to be decided/approved/announced/whatever but it is assumed it will be an addition to AAMI park.
