He left it up to Bomber for the "player X is really tearing it up" stuff.

This could have been posted in another thread, but I digress...

Looks fantastic, i gather the whole thing is finished?
one more, is the Gardiner stand still there? if it is, would nearly be derelict.

Yes, on both accounts
As much history as the Gardiner stand has they need to replace it if they want to make it a boutique ground.
In the initial redevelopment, I thought the Gardiner stand was to be demolished,
but then it got heritage listed.
You'd reckon for that, the old girl could get a lick of paint at least.

Can we build on top of the site when it falls down?

You're kidding!
The stand is heritage listed, so it should be preserved.
We should have knocked down the Pratt Stand, not the Heatley Stand to build the new facilities.
I hate that stand.
It was known as the Hawthorn stand, yet we go ahead and bulldoze the famous Heatley Stand.
Pinched this off the Blueseum
"History of the Gardiner Stand
The stand, named after President John Gardiner, was completed in 1912 at a cost of 4572 pounds to hold 1400 people. The cricket club paid 600 pounds while the football club contributed the balance.
It is the second-oldest surviving grandstand at the old VFL venues, behind the one at Fitzroy."
98 not out, and looking very shaky. Which is a shame.
And you are right about the goddawful Hawthorn stand, it hid all the beaut Palm Trees.

TBH it would have been delicious to just bash down that piece of shit Legend Stand. I sat there a couple times and you'd always have the sun in your eyes and no leg room. I didn't mind the Pratt stand but I grew up watching Carlton play sitting in the Heatley stand and all the ex-players and player's wives would sit in the 3 rows in front of me. The players themselves would come out and sit there whilst the reserves were playing also and I had an autograph book that was fatter than anything imaginable.
Great memories and it is such a shame that they decided to build over it.
Still... we have A grade facilities now so can't really complain
Somehow I doubt this

Gardiner Stand is heritage listed, so it has to stay.
Would be nice if the club could spend some money on it to restore it to it's original condition, or at least close to it.
That is positive news. He might spend a bit more time in the forward line during the early part of the season & we know he can kick goals.

Good to see that he's set to see some action late in the NAB Cup. Was afraid he'd be touch and go for round 1.

Imagine if Murphy misses, we might be a midfielder short after drafting all those talls.
Lucas looks fit enough to play round one.
^^Looks like Grigga to me...

Lucas is smothering Grigga's kick in that training drill.
That's a great way to dislocate a finger.
Lucas is so lean, he looks as cut as hell.
Great frame.
We could build him into an elite running mid if he's good enough.

My mistake. I thought you meant if Murphy/Grigg missed with the kick and took Lucas' head off, we'd be another mid down for Round 1.
Think both Grigg and Lucas will have important roles to play early in the season, particularly with Judd's absence. Would be great if both of them seized their opportunity (Grigg probably more so) and become permanent first 22 players...
Important year for the #16. Seems to me to be the perfect kind of target for Gold Coast; I just hope he cements his place this year and becomes a 10 year player for us.

I'll be the first to admit that The General is an acquired taste (at best, and a somewhat cryptic poster at worst) but that is one of the longest bows to attempt to draw...
