Could be, though Mahoney said:
"Unfortunately, Steven had some fluid build-up within the existing wound last week which was causing him some discomfort,"
But I'm no medico, so could also be jock itch if I was in charge!
I got the card in the mail, but have taken a photo of the bar code with my phone. Will see if that scans in R1. Could make keeping tabs of the card's whereabouts a lot easier
Near impossible to turn public, open parkland into what would be a private sporting club facility.
Couldn't happen say Yarra Park, couldn't happen at Footscray Park (Victory)
Different country, different sport, different demographic and geographic, different history, different costs, different sponsor attraction, different TV coverage, etc...
I think the AFL need to go BANG during an off season and just do it. Get the ground work done quiety before and then anounce a Tassie team. Too much public/media navel gazing for months or years on end will dilute the effectiveness of such a move. Can the AFL be trusted to do it properly? Unfortunately I think it means one Vic club will not exist in its current form.
Promise a fortune over 8 years to blow away any other clubs in the hunt for a 26 year old star, but then use the money on other players when he retires at 31.
