Don't worry, its more underwhelming than most trade days.

They are moving very quickly in the DEMO

 

[dazbroncos]

Not sure Simmonds wants their banners all over construction coming down… given they build houses and all….

Go Catters

RIP in peace Brownlow stand:

The place is really falling apart under Chris Scott, isn't it?

 

[betchsta]

How long before the new stands will be complete, I can't remember sorry....

RIP in peace Brownlow stand:

Wow.

Looking at the final stage 5, that looks like a job bigger than what's currently proposed, especially taking in the Ford stand and city end.

Is that right?

Bigger area, probably an easier job considering the lack of demolition required and probably less complicated construction given fewer rooms for media, training, etc.

take out the spaces

 

[thejester]

Wow.

I'm actually pretty sad about this. The Brownlow is an iconic part of Geelong; I understand why it has to go but am slightly worried at the potential blandness of what will replace it.

I was hoping they could incorporate the 'feel' of it into the new stand arrangement, a little like the MCG did with the MCC members pavilion.

How many people have been waiting to say that?

 

[SJ]

I see it as connecting the seating to the amenities behind. These pictures show it better:

Funny effort to retain the symmetrical oval playing surface up against the flattened Moorabool Street wing boundary fence.

 

[Mitch3233]

My seats are right next to there, do we know how far along they are going to get by first game back at KP? If it's just a hole that wind is gonna be awful

If 'GO CATS' doesn't make a return I'll be disappointed.

Looks like it won't.

Surely there's room now for the first verse of the club song?

Will Simonds have 7 or 8 games this year considering the reduced capacity? Also when can you buy reserved seats?
