the answer isnt that hard.. an optioned stadium to the capacity of 28000 is quite easily feasible apparanetly without too much heartache.. This would satisfyall on most occasions.. on the other odd accasions when a larger venue is requied... quess what a little place called Telstra is down the road... if the AFL can work it so games are moved to suit occassions...im sure little upsart Victory can amass some of its grey matter and do similar.. ..otherwise it can bugger off and work out its own solution. If a rework can be accomodated to a capacity of say 35000....then that ought to be looked into, with a rectangular construction ....elongating all faces ought not be a real stretch ( so to speak ) . adding another couple of tiers etc, increasing sanitation to cope ..so on so on.... nothig hi tech or clever neede... just a bit bigger !!..... any which way Victory ought to shut up...its getting a shiny new Stadium to play in.

as i understood the original proposal for this structure...it was a multi use stadium configured for playing rugby /soccer...with admin and fitness facilities...thee latter were ideally to be shared by teh "TEAM MELBOURNE " members.. so I also was understanding that if not built...we dont get the new facilities.. happy to be corrected !!

I think personally that yes the stadium ought to be of the 30000 ilk anyways...why build it smaller?? its not that much diference at the start...horrendoulsy expensie to change 'after" you do sort of get the wiff of.." how can we get out of this now " from Spring st... they'll probably want to move it to Geelong next !! they are crapping on if they now say its X Y and Z to build ..they must have known all along.. to increase 10-15 % of capacity is not directly 10-15% increase in costings...much of the cost is non linearly related to the specific size... . Obviosuly if its bigger ..its more.. but even if you take their ( gov ) worst case escenario...thats well within the scope ofevery other stuff up they have been involved with. It s really not about the money...as to the desire to build it..or to complete something they comitted and promised. I hope it still goes ahead in some similar fashion to original idea. If it needs to grow and change ...so be it ..

Isn't that saying exactly the same thing i.e if you're not competitive ... you are struggling? Glad you agree.

i suppose in a nutshell....you can be as gifted as hell in football terms, but if you cant catch that other bloke who's streamign away from you ...what does it count for ?? ..... as WJ alludes...the game has moved on...at a bloody quick rate

jb....you nailed it.. many wil still figure white to be in same league as others at the centre...and he's not...hasnt been for years...handy around ...but not at middle.....and we are stil unsure of a solution.. struggle in the middle and you lose. back to heads in sand everyone

well the pre requisite of putting more than 5 words together in anything other than a monotone may render this question moot !!

just as irritating perhaps as those that get tied up over minor typos !!. we all have our opinions...some get that concept..others are just full of own import!!

an interestig conundrrum you raise 55..but would it be fair to hire a bloke and make him capt in the same 5 mins?? I dont hink so.... yo have blokes who give there al lfor the read and blue..and some interloper comes in and takes the cake !! you can see how that doesnt sit...even if he is the commensurate player he is ( judd). only one name for the possie when Neeta hangs up the boots.. Brock McLean. As some mention.. HE makes his presence felt...his team mates lift around him.. ..HE makes things happen....some very good othr playres...but not with the "X" factor of...i'll follow him.. etc.. a Captain has to lead, inspire.. its not really a multi horse race is it !!

Am very surprised that the Irish got that sookie !! still there IS a future for them in the AFL...with those tactics they are dead set starters at Collingwood !! lol.

keep in mind muscle weighs more than fat..the stonger he gets ..he'll actually put ON a few Kgs !!.. dont sweat it...he's fine.coming along nicely..

Oozes is far better tham Ottens... a mark taken recently by Jamar over Simmonds for mine was way better than Ottens...half of Robbos would beat the ottens mark.... but nothing will ever beat Smith's !!! :-)))))) eh Garry ....lol
