Opinion New AFC HQ: We're on like Donkey Kong!

[AFC3000]

They had the opportunity to nominate at the last council elections on a no-development platform.

I think we've ticked as many of their boxes as we should (personally I'd bring back the MCG sized oval...)

Time to let the ones who did put their hand up get on with the job.

Should push hard for a 3rd oval

Bulldoze the library, local pool and orphanage

The traffic at Brickworks is horrid. To solve this, build the 4th one there.

 

[George Kramer]

So Olsen has said details of their petition are inaccurate, that should void their petition! You can’t sign up people on inaccurate information!

Olsen sounded tired but he’s confident will happen

You mean Woolworths?


Where was the anguish when the heritage market got turned into a Woolies?


What happened to the mini Can Am cars?

I’d like to build an oval on top of an oval so it’s effectively on stilts. Have an escalator going up to the top oval and a net to catch the balls. Imagine the views!

Something like the Burj al Arab hotel in Dubai perhaps?

Sort of but another oval on top of that one, make it glass so you can watch two games!

 

[El Doederino]

Can we build this facing the action groups residences like we have next to David Jones

chazwazza what’s your thoughts on them getting “facts” wrong in their petition? Still think we should feel for them?

Was their petition in different languages, like our website is, so residents who have english as a second language were able to make an informed decision?

Or are they taking advantage of immigrants in their area for their own gain?

I’ve no idea about it. My point has been that it’s fair that residents have concerns and have their concerns heard and hopefully dealt with. What the petition contains I’ve no idea nor whether they’re misleading or incorrect.
How you feel about something or someone is up to you.

 

[Rotayjay]

Who's got time to rally these causes?

Don't people have jobs, families, friends? Things to do?

If they build a sewerage treatment plant across the road from my house I'd probably just have to go along with it.

Sure, I spend about 5 hours a day on here but I'm a busy man

It's a bunch of people with nothing better to do.

Nah, that's disingenuous.

According to John Olsen on 5AA this is exactly what is happening and has been happening for a while.

Build one at Henley beach on the water. No trees to worry about.

I saw this one in Singapore.

I saw some discussion on this on Reddit, with a few NIMBY’s playing the ‘can’t they just play on grass’ card (among some other conspiracies about heat islands), oblivious to the fact that hockey’s been played on artificial turf for decades.

So there you have it. This was on the save Kings Reserve page.

 

[Samcro24]

Not sure if this has been posted, from the save kings reserve FAQs.

But wont you have access to Thebarton Oval and the second oval?

The community will only be able to access these spaces when the Crows aren’t using them.
Want to have a picnic or just take in the tranquillity in the centre square? You’ll have to check the training schedule before you head down to avoid disappointment.
The kids have been bugging you all day to go play on the 50m line. You finally give in, check the training schedule and head down only to find the sprinklers are on or the groundskeeper is out keeping everything at an elite level – sorry kids.

This is straight up Karening.

I have been through that area on numerous occasions and not once have i ever seen anyone use those spaces other than dog walking. It's the biggest waste of space ever. Picnic? Give me a break. Lol. They are within 5 minute walk of all the protected green space they want. This is the problem with ignorance. There will be idiots who sign the petition because they see trees. But they never use the space.

So which 50m line have they got access to now?
