If we are made to move while construction is going on for a minimum of 4 years, our quest of staying on top of the ladder is significantly made more challenging......in memberships as well. I dont want that regardless of what standard our stadium is.

You had me on board until you cheaped out on the Coke Zero.

Right back at ya Dalions.

The implementation of the cross river rail will be huge as well. Seating capacilty to 50K would be perfect.

I'd be happy to even watch it at home if thats what had to happen occasionally while work was in progress. Our club playing home games at home is my 1st priority. Me being there to watch is my 2nd. ;)

Just call me Sandra Sully. lol.

Strong talk of a time change for this week's pre-season game.

From a selfish point of view I would rather us have a decent crack at 1 or 2 grand finals over the 4 year (probably more like 5 or 6) demolishment/re-build period than a world class stadium. The advantage of playing home games at the Gabba is enormous compared to playing games away from the...

Lethal head & shoulders ahead of anyone in my opinion. Gary Wilson a very good footballer but not in the same class level as Matthews.

That can happen (& does) in any building project.

Love Joey. 😍 Him & Hippy in tandem are weapons.

Maybe the full job wont be done in the staged build and thats where it becomes cheaper....who knows Dalions. ;) None of us know the accurate story nor the twists and turns the Govt are doing right now. I do know that Quirk is definately against pulling down the Gabba and starting all over.

dont like either...prone to injury.

Don't know. I do know that the staged rebuild is considered by some inside the club as a less costly exercise and that the IOC along with QLD Govt are seriously looking at what the alternatives are. These alternative studies may already be completed (i am led to believe they have) and now it's...

you were doing ok until i read the bolded. lol.

How do you know this? Do you have a background in stadium buliding? I know you are passionate about this project (& I respect and understand that) but nowhere have you revealed your experience in all this but by your posts you do. Please elaborate. From a couple of people inside the club, the...

If a staged re-build costs more than a demo/rebuild, the staged one wont go ahead. That said, I believe the proposed staged re-build will be significantly less expensive.

Thats it really...leave it to the experts who know. I'm sure they wont make any decision without the appropriate people's professional advice on how to do a job right. I doubt they need to explain anything in huge detail but the spin doctors will 100% be out there telling us what they want us to...

You can take anything you want....not sure who "we" is.

Not happening.... (full re-build) in my opinion.

I still believe Kai will play senior footy sometime this year and will hopefully nail a spot in the 22. One practice match isn't a gaugue on anyone's career at this stage. We have some talented lads in the two's but unfortunately their game on Thursday night wasnt good.

Dis agree with the top up's comment. They are there because they show promise and not just to make up the numbers.

Dont know much about him but the players do respect him and his knowledge of the game. Our backline on Thursday night was pretty much full strength with the exception of McKenna so I wasn't surprised to see them dominate and run the ball out of defence the way they did particularly against a...

No idea. My comment was a general one about how dramatically the game changed from the 1st 4 periods to the last 2 periods. ALL these young men were there playing because they are percieved as quality footballers who have potential to play at the highest level at some stage....watching only the...

The last 2 periods were very painful to watch and I was surprised at how much the game degenerated once our more experienced players hit the showers. Didn't expect it to be the same skill or intensity however it does raise alarm bells for me that our young boys next in line didn't show us some...

Leppa was given a fence to paint without a brush...so was Vossy to a lesser extent. No $, no resources and no support from the AFL nor the Lions Board who were all dodgy ....the best coach in the coompetition would have failed at that time.

I dont know as I also am not qualified to say but I am sure there are people looking at that and more as we speak. I guess it will depend on what the Olympic people insist on having incorportaed in an Olympic venue.

I get what you are saying 100%....Perth do not have great numbers for attendances in test cricket. Given the 1st test of an ashes series would be the exception for sure as an ashes series is the pinacle of test cricket...and the 1st test is the ultimate.

Why havent they then?

Probably right but thats hard to prove unless they give them the fist test which I highly doubt they will. I think any city that get the first ashes test in any state would sell out Day 1 at the very least.
