Interesting. I don't know if this is right, but taking your word for it, what does Box Hill gain? Why do they bend over backwards for Hawthorn?
How does the Box Hill/Hawthorn affiliation compare to other affiliations, and is there something to indicate that Casey will be anything like Box Hill (or at least, better than what we have)?
I agree, but I doubt it'll happen. One of the late-night shows on SEN was talking about the old grounds disappearing, and floated the idea of a boutique stadium at Casey Fields.
Having our own team would be good. It'd also mean two VFL games p/wk in Casey, which would sate the AFL's appetite for matches every week in the big 'growth corridors'
