Sounds about ✅️

I really think a lot just dont understand how things are actually built/managed. Some seem to think its click your fingers..1,2,3 Currently the only access to the middle is via tunnels. Not thinking they're a size to easily facilitate ground moving plant. Even if of only "basic" design there's still a lot of prep work. Often more work in preparation and services than the actual erection. Every build requires a geo survey. If you wanted to use for preseason 28.. you would need everything ready to go NOW. It isn't. There's actually NOTHING other than concepts,sketches, ideas, basic scoping and possibly/probably a financial framework . I very much doubt there's detailed plans or build management program yet. It is not rocket science..its just building. There will be no ground breaking technology here... justva build. But there's a process . Id be surprised if were not looking at maybe mid 28. And we watch and wait.

A major point of difference though is Dingely is/was effective a greenfields build. I.e you can throw as much as you can in an organised manner as you have unfettered access to your build. Areas for staging , storing , equipment... all fairly easy Caulfield won't be. Any construction can NOT impact what already exists as functioning. The racecourse and access must be maintained. Denial of public movement ( traffic etc ) must be minimised. 2 years is optimistic ( very ) Hawthorn took 2 but it had everything ready to go when it started. Do we even have plans finalised, permits, financing .... anything ? These aren't just negative Nancy concerns.. they're actually what you need. Where are we at ??

Both names that sprung to my mind.. A player who's up and about .. bursting out from the back... I dont think he has Jayden's boot but he might have Frosty's energy. Fun times to come

Personally I'm immune to the filth. I married it... half my mates are filthy Most of my wife's large Mic family are it.. A brother in law is ex filthy player. I am surrounded by the filthy... But I'm not tainted.. After all... I'm superior ( dont let wife hear that ...lol 🙄🤣 )

Fwiw There's a public accessible walking/running track around the perimeter of Waverley It's impossible to cordon it off

We do have a home... but its been compromised... and were nudged out

I dont think its even possible to have a truly locked out session.... There's no Berlin Wall there!!

Fair points George. Just curious... do we actually train at nights ?

OK... now I'm confused.. ( yes it can be done...lol... some say not too hard... they're unkind but possibly right ) Some are saying drafts picks CAN be traded before the night... some inferring they can't. Most concur they can be traded on the night either prior to said picks or live through proceedings. 🤔🤔🤔 ??? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ The AFL is very good at hiding a list of the actual the actual 2025 draftees ( though you can read and watch all you like about 24's 🥴 ) well done 🙄🙄🙄

My thinking exactly. Far tooooooo much comraderie between foes for my liking in the past. Have a beer later.. maybe

The AFL doesn't care about the Dees.

Can some kind soul clarify ( apologies if already done ) Are we still able to trade/swap/upgrade our picks before the draft ? Can you still do live trading on the nights ? Has the AFL buggered this up to ?? Cheers

🤔🤔🤔 yeah nahhh !! We're a solid B 👌 imho

And they say our PR spin isn't up to it... Lovely copy. Reality is... I think he did OK... proof of pudding yet to come ...but I'm a bit like Big Kev 😉

Im not being narky... Buy why does anyone care. They don't...

Yes

We didn't FORCE Tracc out. He prized open that door all by himself.

Best bet.. Everyone...EVERYONE... just move on. It's for the best 👌 👍 😉

Seems only fair to pay "interest" too 😉

Hope there's a lot of Tilt-Slab in any design then

Mustn't be F for Fox but F for Fwits They left out Steele.. Quality stuff FFFFOr Fox sake

Exactly this. Yes we're all tragics in here but there's a lot more out there... This was in a fashion a pure meat and 3 veg statement. Nothing earth shatteringly new but for some it might be comforting reading motherhood mutterings from time to time. He's just crossing and ticking. And it's done. Now about that temp training ground idea.....

He's just enjoying a Brand new day ...
