Easy enough to build out over the road. 

There's just no excuse. 

Yeah I suppose that is also a possibility, but the engineering involved would make it quite more expensive.

    Actually... not really... if your going to widen it and redo the stands on that wing...its just another form of support.

    Wasnt super difficult to straddle Brunton Ave.

    Its more about the will to do it.

    Engineering wouldn't be the only problem (if, indeed it were to be a problem). Ownership of the air rights above the road could be more complex than it seems. I know that building bridges over the railway line next to the MCG was delayed for years because no-one could decide who had responsibility for maintaining the bridges.

    Just wait until the year that the Pies have to play there and lose. Then it’ll be front page news with all shows talking about it. 

    Never happen.

    This is Geelong......anything it needs...  a way is found. Spanning Moorabool rd is easy...  essentially the State gov controls space above the road.

    Railways are very different.  Austrac controls the permanent way...

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
