Correct.

I can understand why we went from first area to second area as second was bigger and had easier access.

I am unsure why we are now looking at this third area, which is narrower and longer, but closer to transport, shops and a short walk to the tunnel under the track into the mid field, where the ovals would go.

All three areas are Crown land leased to the MRC.

i think the main problem with the 2nd option (south east corner) was no close access to ovals. i.e. no tunnel and probably mrc not wanting a new tunnel to be built, and of course the extra cost of a tunnel.

and of course the reasons of transport difference luci explained

I dont think so. Mt Scopus didn’t spend $200m to buy a leasehold. I think the Carpark in question can be sold off as a freehold

i think the mt scopus site was always private property and not crown land

little bit of video on the guineas tunnel (you can't see much on google maps satellite)

Still for the life of me can't work out how payouts following medical retirements while contracted remain in the salary cap in any capacity. Obviously the concern is being dodgy - doing big deals and being able to wipe them off the books with some trickery. But the space is different now with concussions literally wiping players out of the competition instantly

it should be emphasised that in these cases however it is different because it was the afl medical officer who forced the retirements

no scope for club trickery here

Agree 100% deezone. However as far as this project is concerned it is concerning that the length of time this is taking just to get approval. With every passing day I get the feeling it is not going to happen. I know the wheels of democracy grind slowly but this is glacial.

oh, i don't know od. the wheels of democracy have stated the suburban loop is scheduled to complete by 2053 (assuming no delays 😉)

Agreed, neither should be but they have created precedent.

and moreso footy should only be played by 'reasonable' players with split second reasonability

imagine a game where all the players were 'reasonable'

Just to remind Daisy cutter and Old Dee they were discussing the insoluble venue position in Jan this year here, and worried about their resilience before something would take place ...well it looks like something is going to happen.

just to remind w1947 that i have always been very positive and supportive of caulfield

p.s. daisycutter is one word without capitals

any "reasonable" judge should have been able to reach a judgement in .5 second, but gleeson needed to take 3 hours!

of course any "reasonable" judge would have got the judgement correct too

just as well he doesn't play football

i told youse may was cooked if we went with anderson

anderson is the personification of groundhog day

he must have some interesting photos in his bottom drawer

may should get off

if anderson is his advocate he is cooked

why oh why do we even go anywhere near anderson?

Ed Richards knocked out an opponent with a forearm and they called it a football act, so May has a chance.

Best thing is he didn’t turn his shoulder to Evans and he was running straight at the ball and then didn’t brace or lift his arm.

Red, do you know who may's advocate will be?

i hope it's not that perpetual loser we always seem to use

let's hope they will allow a reserved seat without the mandatory grand final priority tax (like they used to prior to 20220.

it's especially onerous when you buy multiple tickets with kids

If Elstenwick Park Oval 1 is now free from VFA Duties, since according to reports, Waverley Park is to take over the Umpires training and associated duties, then it in my mind becomes available for discussion as a home base for us.

I did give up arguing against the usual Naysayers years ago but it now really needs consideration.

The oval is large and there is a second oval on St Kilda St that I admit has many games on it, but booking it for 9-4pm it seems largely free .

But the main oval is just not used much. It can be locked, is close to all forms of transport but has claims from Match of the Day VFA, some cricket and the Umpires. If Punt Rd is big enough then Elsternwick Park is bigger, wider and close.

who says "punt road is big enough". It patently isn't

when we leave the ferals and the filth will have a gigantic tussle over gosch's as a second oval

You think they don’t know how terrible they are in front of goal? Maybe they have “done enough” in terms of accuracy during training sessions but like I said, gameday is a whole different thing. How do you think they should train for that? Not rhetorical, it’s a genuine question.

no doubt there is a lot of psychological pressure involved during gameday

but one of the benefits of practice, practice, practice (structured with supervision, analysis and follow-up, of course) is you develop a higher degree of instinctiveness and muscle memory, minimising the psychological game day nerves.

it just staggers me we don't seem to apply an extensive scientific and professional approach to the most important skill ... i mean games are won or lost on goal kicking ... simple as that
