For a comparison apparently Bulldogs new facillity was 78Mil and they don't own it or have a full size oval let alone 2 with room for more. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1179303...n-bulldogs-unveil-78m-upgrade-to-whitten-oval
This bulldogs facility barely looks any better than Waverley.
Indoor training I think Tbf hawthorn will have the same but will be better integrated with the rest of the buildingView attachment 2057359
Legitimately, what’s this good for? Like why bother with these line markings.
Only think I can see it being useful for is setting up structures in a small scale so you can move players around like chess pieces and show "when ball is here, stand here, when ball is there, stand there" But agree pretty pointless.View attachment 2057359

Maybe for tactical planning? Just made me think of the Red Keep floor in the last seasons of Game of Thrones. Our scripting would hopefully be better though.The indoor areas are generally used for warm up stuff rather than doing it outside. They're handy but the oval markings would be barely used I'd say. No harm in it being there though.

What is with the chair the bottom left hand corner? Is that selling point? Did they seriously have nothing else of note to include in the montage of photos??
We have a chair!!!!!
My son and I would love this if we we had it in our backyard.View attachment 2057359

They should have moved out to somewhere in the City of Melton or Wyndham, though I could see that being an issue for some playersFor a comparison apparently Bulldogs new facillity was 78Mil and they don't own it or have a full size oval let alone 2 with room for more. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1179303...n-bulldogs-unveil-78m-upgrade-to-whitten-oval

Just to clarify - you realise we have a full oval, don’t you? The picture you see and appear to think is our oval is a 50mx40m indoor warmup facility. Whitten ovals surface is second to none and the redevelopment is excellent in a vibrant and very quickly growing portion of Western Victoria. Importantly, our home ground is in the middle of our established heartland. Other redevelopments can’t say the same.For a comparison apparently Bulldogs new facillity was 78Mil and they don't own it or have a full size oval let alone 2 with room for more. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1179303...n-bulldogs-unveil-78m-upgrade-to-whitten-oval

I'm referring to the main training oval outside that is not "full size" as it's still an odd shaped suburban ground. Whereas we will have multiple ovals with our main oval MCG size (and able to be adjusted to match every AFL ground dimensions)
Whitten oval is 160 metres x 121 metres with squashed straight wings. MCG and our main training oval is 160 metres x 141 metres with a nearly round shape.
I think it's odd to pump that much money into an inner suburban facility- there's no oval for the AFLW program as far as I can tell? DO they train at Skinner Reserve?Just to clarify - you realise we have a full oval, don’t you? The picture you see and appear to think is our oval is a 50mx40m indoor warmup facility.

They resized the ground when the resurface and redevelopment happened. It’s now the exact same size as marvel stadium. Its 170m x141m with an excess 18m at the Barkly street end vacant behind the goals.I'm referring to the main training oval outside that is not "full size" as it's still an odd shaped suburban ground.

The AFLW team train in conjunction with the men’s program. Strangely enough, an 8hr day is well and truly enough to squeeze in both team on an ovalI think it's odd to pump that much money into an inner suburban facility- there's no oval for the AFLW program as far as I can tell?

That's still a pretty old photo, I've painted my roof since then.
The pic on the left is not the current design. The large basketball stadium on the south side of the AFLW oval is now a carpark. It may come plater, but the bridge joining it all up and the big stand has changed. Current Render below from the foundation.hawthornfc.com.au website. Yet they also have the old image up there too. I think they said the basketball courts are still planned for later stages but it won't be like that image as the main training facility building is a completely different design now and the bridge joining won't make sense.stilll plenty of room for expansion. excuse the quick drawing of property boundaries
