I heard their new captain say that he had lost too many kilo last year and they want him back to his explosive best, and then went on to compare him to Petracca. What a bunch a dickheads.

Does he have a tan though?

Oh in further developments I read a comment on the Essington board where they’re happy the Rev will oversee all departments including fitness. Of course we all remember the Rev did a two week course ( part time ) on elite training regimes.

Oh this will be good and it seems Stringer is an early success story .

Give them ten weeks and they’ll want his head. Unless they’re all hoiked up on the kool aid

You know how it goes down in Essington land. They'll have a very promising first season under Brad but with clear signs of over-achieving and then blow it all up again when they inevitably fail the next year.

If there's honesty in usernames, it would probably be Total F***wit.

Melbourne Airport expansion threatens future of Essendon Football Club’s​

Bombers fans chipped in $10m as part of The Hanger’s multimillion-dollar facelift in 2021 — but all that work could soon be undone.

Melbourne Airport's 2022 approved masterplan artist’s impression. Picture: supplied
Essendon Football Club’s high-performance training facility may be at-risk of redevelopment, with Melbourne Airport officials refusing to say if long-term expansions will impact the club.
Bombers HQ – located on federally-owned land within the airport’s Elite Park precinct – houses two football fields sized to match the MCG and Marvel Stadium, indoor training facilities and administrative services.

But sources have told the Herald Sun confidential discussions between club officials and airport planners suggested some infrastructure on the Don’s $27 million site, dubbed ‘The Hangar,’ may be impacted by two new runways and wider developments in the precinct.

Future plans for Melbourne Airport's two new proposed runways. Picture: supplied

Such impacts would mean a possible rework of the 10,000sq m site, which was upgraded in 2021 at a cost of $21.5 million — it’s supporter base chipped in $10 million.
The Bombers famously relocated to its new base along Melrose Dr in 2013 from its spiritual home of nearly 100 years at Windy Hill.
It comes as airport officials move forward with the early stages of its Approved 2022 Master Plan to develop a TopGolf, an entertainment space and driving range, inside Elite Park

It can be revealed a permit was submitted to The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water earlier this month for the removal of protected grassland.
Elite Park’s already home to UrbnSurf, famed eatery Three Blue Ducks, Hanrob Pet Hotel, Qantas Joey Club Childcare Centre, and the Dons’ multimillion-dollar headquarters.
But Melbourne Airport officials refused to share any further insight detailing their long-term plans and potential impacts on Bombers HQ and the wider Elite Park precinct.

Officials also refused to comment on the matter when presented with an artist impression from its Master Plan which depicted parts of a markedly improved Elite Park.

A statement accompanying the illustration vaguely outlined possible future plans.
“It is anticipated that Elite Park will evolve over time, initially (over the next five years) with leisure and customer experience facilities (that build off the existing facilities and tenants.)

“And ultimately as a mixed-use environment with the addition of higher value, higher-density developments to support existing facilities.”
Roads, water, sewerage and electrical infrastructure would also be developed, while the report briefly mentioned plans for Elite Park over the next 10 years.
“The airport has planned the site for high-value commercial developments focused on sporting, leisure and customer experiences,” the report continued.
“There would be in addition to more traditional urban-commercial developments such as low-density offices, education, and ancillary retail and showrooms.”

A spokesman for the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and The arts confirmed earlier consultations had taken place, but would not be drawn on the specifics.”
“Melbourne Airport is currently considering whether the Elite Park Precinct development or proposed Top Golf venue will require a Major Development Plan to be submitted for Minister King’s consideration under the Airports Act 1996.”

“The Government also has clear expectations that leased federal airports, including Melbourne Airport, undertake regular and ongoing consultation with airport users, state and territory governments, local authorities and the community to improve information sharing and strengthen planning and development outcomes,” a spokesman said.

“While consultation occurred during the development of the 2022 Melbourne Airport Master Plan, which includes the future development of the Elite Park Precinct, the Government expects Melbourne Airport to continue engaging on planning matters such as this – as this engagement is fundamental to the successful long-term development of the airport.”
Five games are scheduled for this year’s VFL premiership season at The Hangar while six VFLW matches were also slated to take place.

When approached for comment, a Dons spokesman said the club was on a “long-term lease.”
