quite. seems not a problem even on the sacred st. kilda (boulevard) rd

but club admin, mfc shop and social club are not at aami additionally aami is bursting at the seams so as we increase the size of the football dept and facilities there is nowhere to grow additionally at aami we are just a lowly tenant (and not the only one) and have no say in any aami future development aami is not a long term option (nor mid term)

what would be useful would be an independent web site that put up videos of contentious decisions and invited discussion on them there are just too many bad or missed decisions that don't get adequately discussed (unless someone like clarko, eddie, terrible twins whinges) publicly and the afl are just happy to let them slip through the cracks the media are also very remiss (know which side their bread is buttered) in discussing/assessing umpiring in a comprehensive way despite the fact that it is one of the fans major interest focuses/frustrations. they should be able to openly assess it weekly without it becoming a witch hunt the spotlight needs to be put on the rules and umpiring, the fans are getting increasingly disillusioned at the inability of the afl to apply (or even define) the rules of the game both fairly and in a manner that fans and players alike can understand

probably just south australian bananas......no idea of banana management

i have to say cameron's actions were reckless and dangerous but i don't think he intentionally elbowed andrews lockett's elbow however was intentional and blatant and he was fully balanced with other options ergo, cameron to get less than lockett on this basis (not that they will take a precedent from this era anyways)

and i still can't see what is wrong with a third man up anyway, plus what is wrong with a deliberate forced point within 5-10 metres of the goal line. and then there is the 15m penalty being exchanged for a 50m penalty with nothing in between and we now find minor infringements with no impact on play being rewarded by 50m penalties which sometimes end up as 75m because umpires have no way of accurately determining 50m. then there is ruck infringements, i no longer have any idea what is legal or illegal in ruck contests, they just seem to pluck them out of the air........i could go on but what's the point

collingwood getting all the accolades in the media for defeating easybeats carlton by the huge sum of 20 pts.....wtf follow the $$$$s

umpiring is so amateurish and behind the times this is why we need professional umpires with a degree of independence from afl/coaches interference and it's not just professional umpires it's a whole professional umpire support organisation that is responsible for the education, training, grading and evaluation of professional umpires a professional umpiring organisation would have at least similar numbers of a typical afl club organisation if they were serious

add brayshaw's 4q mark to that. it was held much longer than wingard's on the melk one, why didn't one of the other 3 umpires have the guts to overide the dh one?

yes, he's a keeper, red

at least they got the former correct

yeah, he's just splitting hairs. i don't get it, he should be happy. has banged on for ages about a single site and a social club and is now arguing the toss over a few hundred metres. must be something about the proximity to the dreaded northern stand

ernie, yarra park is plenty big enough for both passive AND active recreation the fact that people don't like change is axiomatic but not in itself a very compelling planning argument to a tribunal

a bit glass half empty tonight, ernie? you could easy take as a positive to the internal candidates, saying you guys were so good getting to the final 5 that it took a simply outstanding candidate with previous ceo skills to beat you. we don't know all that was said in the meeting but i'm sure the three candidates were rightly praised (as they should be) sorry ernie, don't see the negatives

have we got him yet?

i'd be interested to know what specific problems to amenity that east melbourne/jolimont residents might have maybe copouchas could itemise them for us so we could discuss them (i appreciate we are not in possession of detailed plans of any mfc proposal)

i didn't mean only. i meant in addition to whatever parking they incorporate in the new buildings most buildings in the cbd and inner melbourne don't have much in the way of their own private parking parking is obviously of interest/importance but it is more a secondary concern and we shouldn't overstress it. i'm sure the club has considered it and have some good ideas. there are more important issues we should be focused on

i think you are conflating the parking issue. the mfc is part of the mcc and some parking (for club players, officials) should be available in the mcc parking area at least at certain times. the southern stand of the mcg is also to be redeveloped and no doubt will include more parking than it does now. on the building height limit, have you seen the current building heights on wellington pde? i don;t think we want to build anything higher than this

i think it clear that the club is looking at a new location that can also include revenue generating assets. with this in mind the yarra park/wellington pde nexus is vastly superior to the more isolated goschs paddock/punt rd nexus from a commercial point of view

54 actually!!!!!!!! ?

whilst parking is obviously part of the mix, i don't think parking should be one of the major factors in determining whether a particular location is acceptable. to me it is just a minor consideration and shouldn't be unduly conflated

inching towards 44k 43,896

we've got bradtke next year ?

they need to give non-tenant clubs better deals for members when playing "home" games. it's a joke compared to same situation at the g
