Yeah, you could still somehow keep the scoreboard though

You could keep a reduced hill section in front of it.. I reckon it would look great.

I reckon that's exactly what they'll do. Unfortunately I also predict they will make the area sponsored and either give away tickets or sell them as a premium area. Think the deck at the Gabba or whatever.

I may be wayyyy off but I remember hearing something along the lines of the Moreton Bay figs at the northern end are coming to the end of their natural lives. Basically once they start dying off they wont be replaced and will allow for the stand extension.

I heard a comment like this a couple of years back too - from an SMA person.

Such a weird stadium. Small capacity, lots of money spent on upgrades and yet it looks a bit of an ugly hodgepodge

The carrots and corn vomit seating arrangement gives it a pretty unattractive look

Round 1. Carlton lose to Richmond by 25. Yeah they were coming up against the premiers, not a bad effort
Round 5. Carlton lose to Port Adelaide by 28. OMG, how bad are Carlton, coach must be sacked, list managers sacked, draft picks hopeless

They don't rate us.

If we beat Brisbane in Brisbane, and the "rampaging" Dogs, I reckon the media's perception of Port might change - it's in our hands.

Need BF podcast

did that for a long time, had

Call it what it is....VFL media

Yeah hence why I started Port Fan Radio. Just time is too limited for me

i think it was this weeks Agenda, if Carlton lose let’s blow torch them. Every year around this time it’s one of the Vic clubs to torch. We can go undefeated and we will not get air time.

Last time I went to the Gabba was 2005 during a pissup, ran into an ex West Coast ruckman who was a ripping bloke.

Eagles flogged them that day.

they have a limited life? Que drill, diesel oil.

not sure we need a bigger stadium anyway

Half this board was expecting a "what happen power" last week.
You cant have gripes with the media for being the same way.

Brisbane’s historic Gabba stadium would be “essentially demolished” as the Queensland government pushes ahead with plans to redevelop and lift the stadium for the 2032 Olympic Games.

Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Gabba, which has been home to Queensland sport including cricket and AFL for 126 years, would host the opening and closing ceremonies.

“I said I wish I could go back to 2019, put some money on the Gabba hosting an AFL Grand Final and an Olympic Opening Ceremony!”

Yeh ~100-130 yrs in their climate which Adelaide is not so they factor in 20% less here.

Out by 1 year for the Cubbies - would have actually shat my pants if it happened.

So if we happen to go top, it'll be billed as the luckiest flag in history?

Good. The Gabba is shithouse.

It came across like that.

 

[edgie]

The side with the Bradman stand on it should be raised to be equal height with the opposite side first at AO before the hill is touched for capacity reasons.

That game against Richmond was quite close and they only kicked away right at the end. Carlton were pretty decent that game.
Against us they were horrendous and only got some late goals when we switched off, to make it a bit more respectable. They were horrendous in our game.

You love to see that response from your rising star.

Theo wearing his Crow goggles seemingly unaware that, unlike Adelaide, fans, we don't need reassuring that one of our young stars wants to stay. To us it's a given.

Great post and reply from George, typical of that slime ball shit head Theo asking that question though

I’d love to see him (Theo) at a home game and give him an absolute bake

Wonder what he means by that.

I wish that Quagmire doppelganger would go back to WA.

He was running with a Fortnite gang hooked on quick-eze.
