Hawthorn tried to set up base at Dingley Tip but that seems to have come to a very smelly standstill. Won't someone please let our gypsy friends in?

What a dump: the history of the Hawks' new base​

There is a reason the Hawthorn Football Club was able to find a spare 28-hectare site in suburban Melbourne for their new football base – a big slice was a dump.

Victoria's pollution watchdog has issued four clean-up notices for the Din San site in Dingley in the past three years and will be testing for elevated methane gas levels at the site this month.

The site was used as a landfill for "solid inert wastes" from February 1983 to June 2012.

The Environment Protection Authority told Fairfax Media the Din San landfill site is "now being managed post closure and has been issued two Pollution Abatement Notices (PAN) that require investigations into how the land will be rehabilitated to address any potential risks".

The use of the land for "solid inert wastes" did not cease in 2012... it ramped up when the Hawfs moved in
