I don't think their constructing Cockburn as a tourist destination, it's growing quicker than any suburb I visit on a regular basis and you could argue as far as position goes its in the perfect spot to access everything you need airport, city, Freo, industry,beaches ect
Like I said, it's all about the quality of facilities for Freo, and they are going to get the best at Cockburn with access to enough outlets if needed.
i brought it up as one of the main gripes from the st kilda move to seaford was that there was literally nothing near the facilities. for fans that wanted to visit the club during their trip to melbourne, there was nothing for them to do. during open training sessions theres nothing to do before or after. we also havent been fully intergrated into the area.
freo could have this if they redeveloped freo oval and turned that whole area into freo heartland. it would have been a great boost to their brand and image. something that is difficult for franchise clubs
