    The next Melbourne stadium

    I guess technically because of the roof, it can be classed as "indoor", but it would struggle to host regular events that require a floor, because it's a football stadium first and covering the turf will damage it. The capacity is also an issue, it's why the Storm only lasted the one season...

    The next Melbourne stadium

    That's really interesting to hear. I agree with the AIA Centre, Punt Road is sadly too hemmed in by......Punt Rd to facilitate development. Gotchs Paddock could fit a 30k multipurpose venue for cricket, footy and maybe other sports like baseball as long as enough distance is given from AAMI Park

    The next Melbourne stadium

    They all have different capacities: Rod Laver is 15,000, MC is 7.5k and John Cain is 10,500. They are all used during the Australian Open, which is primarily why they were built. Given the amount of events that are held in Melbourne, three multi purpose indoor venues of various capacities is a...

    The next Melbourne stadium

    That's all well and good, but John Cain Arena has tenant clubs that won't exactly be thrilled about being made homeless. Where do we put the replacement 10,500+ seat indoor sports stadium for the basketball, netball, concerts and Australian Open?

    2024 VFL Season - Finals

    Southport are many times better off than clubs like Preston and Coburg, they are comparatively wealthy and have far better facilities, as evidenced by the fact they have finished top 2 in every VFL season they have competed in. They might be "stand alone", but they don't really fit into the...

    HDFL Season 2024

    Two undefeated seasons in a row for Harrow Balmoral. Wouldn't be crazy to suggest they should consider shifting to a higher quality league.

    Wimmera League 2024

    A couple of free kicks and a play on that was called back (resulted in a goal that was scratched off) that would have changed the result. I don't like to blame the umpires, but if a player dives at the feet of his opponent and it's a tripping free kick, then it happens again 20 minutes later...

    I was and I'd call the result...........somewhat controversial, and that's being charitable.

    BFL discussion 2024

    I'm curious as to what would happen to Centrals when Melton South move back to the RDFL. I understand they were only created when Melton & South moved to the BFL, would they survive a cross town rival in the same league that is bound to be more successful? Would a merger be on the cards?

    Max King for Petracca?

    I really like Max King, but it's become obvious that he isn't the right fit for St Kilda. I'd be happy to let him restart his career somewhere that he can get the opportunity to become the monster key forward he deserves to be. Petracca has been "one that got away" for me since we selected...

    "United" is a terrible nickname for a basketball team, I understand the reason behind it, but the whole brand was, and is, hopelessly generic. This was a perfect opportunity to inject some sort of personality, but looks like they're staying as a create-a-team

    HDFL Season 2024

    The third quarter was great for us, but aside from that I agree it wasn't the most exciting contest. Happy to see improvement after the last couple of years though, hopeful for a better 2025

    Kalkee had a strong win at KLU yesterday, was interested to see Bennell line up for the Cougars, but he was absent despite being named, heard he missed his flight.

    Scandal Tarryn Thomas charged with 'threatening to distribute intimate image' + driving with suspended license

    I thought I could not be more disgusted at St Kilda than I already was, but I'm at breaking point now. If the Saints actually go through with signing this cancerous tumour on the anus of life, I will officially abandon my support for the club I have been a proud member of for 20+ years. I'll...

    2024 VFL Season - Finals

    The fact the side has played very, very well against a few top teams but not against a few bottom teams is entirely irrelevant. The team was tipped for top 4, but will finish somewhere around 15th, so the coach has to go, it's as simple as that. Also, Port doesn't have a "high performance...

    2024 VFL Season - Finals

    Internally, based on the way we recruited and set ourselves up in the off season, the club was looking for a top 4 position this year. And on paper, we could easily have had it. I cannot stand people who blame the players when a coach is doing poorly, it's naive and speaks of a limited...

    Barry Kidd retiring started the rot, in my opinion. We used to be a very proud club, a lot of that has dropped away and we seem content to make up the numbers until we're squeezed out by the AFL.

    2024 VFL Season - Finals

    Ports fade outs this year have been very concerning, could have won double the amount of games they have if they didn't struggle so badly in the last. I recall being in a winnable position against Carlton, Gold Coast, Casey, GWS and now Coburg before falling away late. It's annoying, because...

    Dimboola and Horsham wore indigeonous round guerneys yesterday in the Wimmera League. They both looked pretty great, I hope the Demons have a few spare blood jumpers and they are willing to part with one because I want it!

    I don't know where Hawthorn got that design from, I don't remember Box Hill ever having the middle panel be an hourglass shape or having it continue to the back of the strip like that. It's cool, and they should bring it back full time, but I'm curious as to if it's based on a past design or...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 16 - Saints v Port Sun June 30th 1:10pm AEST (Marvel)

    True, but of our 5 wins, we were lucky to win 3 of them. Had to come from a mile down at half time against Richmond and lost the first 3 quarters against West Coast, and survived fight backs from Collingwood and Gold Coast. The only convincing win we have had was against stone cold motherless...

    Call me disloyal, but I'm thrilled we lost that, usually when we play like the drizzling shits we somehow extract a win out of it and that keeps the hounds at bay. I hope a mountain of pressure comes on Lyon and the board is forced to turf his ass, how a supposedly professional side can play...

    Horsham Vs Ararat had an insane finish, Demons had a shot after the siren with the scoreboard sitting at Horsham 11.13 to Ararat 11.17. The shot misses, queue celebrations from Rats fans only for the radio callers to run on the field and reveal the scoreboard is wrong and should read: Horsham...
