Time to go Goody?
Without making a comment on our own performance, anyone who is making the play that "we only beat North Melbourne" needs to re-assess. They are building a great midfield, have some good backs and an excellent key forward, and are on the way up. They have had a plethora of early draft picks, made some astute later drafting and have a renowned coach. If you are disappointed in Melbourne's play, don't diminish North's capability.

The Upgrade Failed ...
I know from working with a CMS like Joomla that it's always incompatible extensions and plug-ins that cause upgrade issues. Trying to identify them is a great way to lose what hair you have left. Good luck, we appreciate it.

I'd be happy if they just turned the sound down to 130 decibels.

Which was the Stars and Stripes, but I think you knew that.

Just wondering...
If it's this property, he'll need a few more millions to build a house.

Welcome to Demonland: Grill’d
Zurich probably didn't like it. They have now probably insisted on the correct colour.

Welcome to Demonland: Grill’d
Zurich will have their strictly specified blue (Pantone, RGB, CMYK etc.). You can't just change it to suit our jumper colour.

You people living in the city don't know what a pothole is. 😄

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
If they had a disposal accuracy stat (i.e. the kick or handball went straight to a team mate, maybe who was in space) it would be a more useful measure.

I'm full of unbridled enthusiasm.

The time frame was always 12 months for the feasibility study (just done), and then 12 months for the business case.

Training Ground?
You don't reckon that Mt Scopus hasn't worked it out? "There are currently 1210 students enrolled at Mount Scopus’ three campuses – in Burwood, Caulfield South and St Kilda East. Annual fees are more than $42,000 for senior levels. Scopus Foundation president David Gold said establishing a campus closer to the Jewish community would result in a drop in fees, as families would no longer pay $3000 annually to bus students to its main campus in Burwood."

They've got three other campuses that they are going to consolidate. What's land worth in Burwood, Caulfield South and Elsternwick?

The Scopus land is 7.5 hectares or about 1500 x 500m2 house blocks. So that's $130,000 per block. If you can get a block that size in Glen Eira City for that much money go for it! 😄 At the same time, it's about 0.2% of the Glen Eira City total area (3900 hectares). Why would they have a great say in council meetings? I'd be more worried about the increased traffic in the roads outside. We can always find some "concerns" and "issues" with any proposal.

Training Ground?
A decent sized football oval is about 20,000 m2 if you include sufficient area around the perimeter. If you look at the racing club's plan, the ovals they propose in the middle of the track are far wider than the land proposed for the school.

Training Ground?
Here's the diagram from the racing club's master plan. The two areas discussed here as possible sites for the MFC are the Recreation Administration Precinct (grey) and the Indoor Recreation Precinct (bottom). Both have ready access the ovals, and are not affected by any areas sold to Mt Scopus. The Indoor Recreation Precinct has some trees that need "consideration".
