It’s not about aesthetics, it’s about functionality. Which the Jack Dyer Stand was never going to be again.

Aren't they going to reuse elements and materials from the old Jack Dyer stand in the new stand? If it is well designed and executed with taste it could be a win for new modern facilities with a nod to its history as well. Lets see what it looks like when finished.

    If this were true we wouldn’t have spent half a century looking for a training ground.

    You chastise me for comparing punt road with the mcg only to come up with this.

    Our challenge has not been to do with Heritage overlays but rather trees and dog walkers, both of which seem to be more difficult to circumnavigate.

    And we thought we had training ground problems

    In the NRL the Roosters and Rabbitohs are having an all out war it seems....

    South Sydney have now asked the NSWRL to reconsider its position and believes the Roosters junior representative program is an extension of the junior league.

    The Rabbitohs are arguing that their juniors are being enticed to join the Roosters because of the convenience of having the training facility in their area.

    The Roosters have provided $200,000 of funding to provide lighting and improve the school’s sporting facilities.

    The Rabbitohs have submitted a formal application to have the Roosters banned from training in their backyard and are awaiting a response from the NSWRL.

    The references are to the junior teams

    ...and some people want to go back to zones.

    The sooner we move on ridding ourselves of academies & F & S the better.

    The moral of that story was to point out your dribble. 💩💩

    How can that stand at Punt Road not have a heritage protection?

    It was, then it wasn't. Then the National Trust came in and tried to stop Richmond knocking it down.

    But Richmond starting talking about it helping local community, women's football, indigenous groups and foundations and it was a battle they'd never win.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
