Why does my tin foil quiver at the timing of this
Did they expect a loss?

I don’t think we really appreciate what a game changer this will be for player attraction and retention
Can’t wait for this

Looking forward to this finally being done.
Next stop, removing the AFL from the board and getting a legit member based board.

Nah .....all clubs have great facilities now
You're severely overrating this compromised development ......will have zero impact on player attraction ....zero
I go to the bombers hangar new development a lot .....equal, if not better than this development .....it's a souless facility , half the time the cafe is closed
But Adelaide only has two teams. I hope Crows fans will support the cafe. I know I'll go there, even though I live further out. I don't go to AFL games any more, but will try to go and watch the women here.

I reckon this is where the stereotypical apricot slice fan will earn their stripes with us. I expect the cafe facilities will be popular. I’ll go for sure especially in school holidays with the kids.
Is it expected that we start playing SANFL home games here? Maybe even AFL preseason games. If so would enjoy going.
Probably should start playing SANFL games there
I think the only problem would be part of the initial contract to join the league was that we'd play all our games at the opposition teams home grounds. The benefit being the other teams get the gate and any benefit from food / catering sales
Though judging by crowd numbers it probably wouldn't make much difference
we could comprise and offer all Gates to the SANFL opposition.
Except Port of course I mean they are another AFL team.

There gonna be professional jealousy around 
I don’t have an issue with Adelaide hosting SANFL games there, obviously the initial contract is an issue but that is regularly renewed/revised. Hopefully it’s a pivot to make Port pay for a reserves team in the SANFL too

You been down to west lakes lately? Chalk and cheese
We could play our SANFL games against Port there.
Also we could plat any AFL pre season games there instead of at another SANFL ground.
I'm glad they're going with a bespoke design and not using an off the plan volume build.
Haven't followed this closely for a while, looks like no second oval? Or just not pictured in the new media drop?
How is theirs in terms of location compared to ours?
Importantly, what's the coffee like? This is key
Mini second oval during construction of the South Road tunnel becomes Marvel Stadium sized once that's completed in 2032.
Probably mostly used for event day parking during the first phase.
Kings Reserve would be to the right of that pic.
I’m going to lead a campaign to have it called the Apricot Slice Cafe
Must happen!!
