Not quite as simple as many of us thought on this issue. "Yes, building a tunnel under a racetrack can affect the track above, but modern engineering techniques are generally designed to minimize or completely negate these effects. The primary risks involve ground settlement, structural stability during construction, and long-term changes to the ground's water content. www.tunnelsandtunnelling.com +1 Potential Effects on the Racetrack Above: Ground Settlement: The excavation process removes material, which can cause the ground above to settle or sink slightly. If not managed properly, this can create dips or imperfections in the race surface, which is critical for high-speed racing. Structural Deformation: The removal of overburden (soil/rock weight) and the weight of the new tunnel can lead to uneven deformation or "uplift" in the ground. Vibrations and Noise: Construction, especially drilling or blasting, creates significant vibrations that can affect surface infrastructure. Water Table Changes: Tunneling can interrupt groundwater flow, leading to changes in soil stability. MDPI +1 Mitigation and Engineering Solutions: Deep Tunneling: Building tunnels at a sufficient depth, usually deep within solid rock, can reduce or eliminate surface impact. Advanced Tunneling Methods: Techniques like tunnel boring machines (TBM) or jacked boxes are often used to minimize ground disturbance. A "jacked portal" or "jacked box" is often chosen for its ability to avoid disrupting surface operations. Ground Monitoring: Engineers use real-time monitoring devices in the tunnel and on the track surface to track deformation or settlement and make immediate adjustments to construction methods. Ground Treatment: Before digging, soil stabilization techniques (such as grouting) can be used to strengthen the ground, preventing settlement. ResearchGate +4 While construction risks exist, modern tunnels are routinely built under critical infrastructure (highways, railways) with little to no noticeable impact on the surface if engineering standards are strictly followed. www.tunnelsandtunnelling.com +1"

This is the one team I really love to beat. Go Dees, smash the Blues.

And West Coast and North are located in same spot for Training and Administration, as are the Saints.

He has won 2 Brownlows.

Have heard from Carlton mate that the Blues are very confident of beating us, because of our WA game and short turnaround before it. Stats seem to show that teams are affected by a 6 day break before games in Perth.

I was really saying in answer to Pickett it is not a mirage. It is achievable and a bit of compromise or ingenuity could see it happen.

Safe on that front.

It’s a huge reason why they make finals every year. They rarely lose at their home fortress where everything goes their way.

I see it, I hear it, I feel it, I can taste it.

Bit scratchy.

More chance of me playing, than him getting dropped.

This has been answered many times. If we move out of Goschs without having Caulfield and move to Waverley, all urgency from the AFL and Govt to get Goschs disappears and we could be stuck at Waverley for years and years.

Why would you leave where you are, for somewhere that you don't want to be permanently, if leaving takes out bargaining power you might have, that helps you get to where you want to be permanently? That is the bearing they have on one another, bargaining power.

There is the answer, we don't have the keys to Caulfield, just yet.

I just can't watch Eddie on Footy Classified anymore, as it is actually Collingwood Classified. He turns every topic into a Pies' rant.

That's probably as helpful as them saying "we need more wins".

Thanks for the insult.

Potential for injury is used purely at the whim of the Tribunal to justify a finding. Examples: Kozzie bumps Moore who dropped down at last second ,treated as if he could have killed Moore. Maynard who knocks out Brayshaw and ended his AFL career, treated as “well he didn’t kill him.”

I thought our effort against a strong AFL listed player side was great.

Check the AFL site under the fixture and matches tab and go to player stats.

Do we know what Disco's injury is?

Big difference between hamstring awareness and a 4-6 week medium grade strain Dimma.

I thought Langford in the first two games has been well below how he played last year. Maybe it’s second year blues.

Well that was fun.
