Because we sell naming rights to PRO. Currently to Swinburne University.

Id imagine Jack Dyer will get naming recognition in the new stand development.

I'm curious to see if we actually will. We already have so much named after Dyer, but have such a long history with so many champions of the game, I wonder if we'll use this as an opportunity to recognise some other past greats instead.
 
Again why is there 'no choice'? Bulldozing the JDS is simply the path of least imagination, there are other paths. No one has actually backed up these claims of 'it's raze the JDS or the highway'.

What I find highly ironic is that we are packed to the rafters at PRO thanks to great initiatives like the Korin Gamadji Institute. And what is the central message of the KGI? It is all about the importance of connection to culture and place.

So our solution to overcrowding is to demolish the last great connection to our clubs culture and place over the last 106 years? While we host the KGI, it seems we don't learn from its teachings.
Probably a poor example using the KGI... connection to culture and place runs much deeper than a man made object/construct. So I think using the central message of KGI is supporting not getting attached to the stand's physical existence ;)
 
Im sad for the jack dyer stand as it holds so much tradition but it does look old and dated now.
Excited for the evolution of the site into the future!
 
The club largely neglected the stand for the decades I've been alive. Because of that little about the Jack Dyer Stand other than who it's named after gives me pride. Therefore my sentiment is bring on the redevelopment.

I do hope the new seating area does still end up with Jack Dyer's name still attached.
 
nope they have already named it after an aboriginal bloke
Daniel Rioli Stand?
 
Better training and support facilities equals better performance. But please don't trash our history.

Erect a Jack Dyer stand/statue/building. go out of the way to honour our history and all is good.
 
Will split the Tiger Army this one,tradition versus progress.

I would have loved for them to keep the stand ,upgrade it and build around it.

But I suppose that is not practical,a bullet to be bitten.

And if the stand was older and had heritage listing then what throw up our hands and move to Kevin Bartlett oval and build a bigger centre there?
No they'd be using a bit of that long forgotten thing called imagination and get it done in any of the ample area available.
 
Was never a fan of the Swinburne Centre architecture, but love the look of this new development.

Imagination and getting it done combined with heritage listings/overlays is not a simple job done. Sometimes imagination can be held back by realistic $$$
