This was a **** up by the contractor. Chemicals for weeding have killed the grass. Its monumental

Still reckon it's ideal prep for our Marvel games...

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Did the AFLW team train there or elsewhere?

They were there partly and also at Box Hill.

They mainly trained at box hill, but also did some weekend sessions at Waverley (mainly with the men’s team) and some at frankston

 

[Simon Crawshay]

My neighbours brother in law is a groundskeeper down at UTAS in Launceston.

Might have a word in his ear about moving to Dingley, the surface on that ground is like a billard table, superb

Couldn't agree more. Amateurish. Terrible timing too. Regularly kicked the footy with my boy on the oval prior to the stuff up. It was pristine and ready for the season ahead. Pedestrian traffic is inconsequential. Pretty pissed off actually as to how this happened.

Happy to share some of the taxi fare, just pick me up on the way through

50-50 works for me!

Interesting, thanks for that.

Yeah. A lot of places really struggling with the extra traffic with woman's football these days.

Isn’t the oval available to the locals to have a kick on?

Yea, but it’s one of the best hidden public ovals in all of a Melbourne.

 

[wahawk]

Isn’t the oval available to the locals to have a kick on?

But but no one liked it before it was ours. It’s too cold, it’s too windy, it’s too hard to get to unless you drive & then it’s too hard to get out of afterwards

The pic above is clearly very early in the season as the car park isn’t a mud heap.

Also must be ‘73 or ‘74 as the centre diamond instead of centre square

Yep, no coloured timber seats either

 

[wahawk]

No. Very uncomfortable weren’t they

My arse was usually frozen anyway

 

[peetoo]

Yes a climate half the population of Melbourne lives in every day

 

[kazzooka]

My uncles car is still bogged at Waverley somewhere under the houses I think.

Couldn't get it out after a game in 95 so just walked out and got a taxi.

Another time my older cousin got frustrated that we were stuck in the log jam trying to get out of the car park and decided to walk. Made it home to Werribee before 2 weeks before we got onto Wellington road.

One of the little joys of football was being stuck in the carpark with a few mates, listening to the 3LO or 3KZ wrap up, after a great win....scarf draped out the window, punching the air with fellow hawks as they walked past your slow moving vehicle...

Whereas after a loss, you sat stonefaced in silence, and just wanted to jump out and punch the people as they tried to push in ahead of you...

After spending an hour trying to find the car one day, we made sure we parked close to the lake from then on - was much easier getting out of the carpark too

If I went with my mates parents we’d park on members side as his dad worked for hfc, so we’d go straight into the hawks rooms.
If I went with my parents we parked near Jackson Rd so we’d get out easier, although I don’t ever recall it being easy.

 

[peetoo]

There weren’t many losses. 66% overall and better in the eighties

So an intervention order WAS warranted!!

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Assuming that we still hold an occasional training session at Bunjil Bagora when the Kennedy Community Centre opens, the ever expanding footprint of the HFC along the eastern and south eastern suburbs of Melbourne(Box Hill, Hawthorn, Waverley, Dingley and our associations with Eastern Ranges and Gippsland Power regions for our academy) is really starting to be seen, just as I once thought we might way back in the 90’s when all anyone could talk about was how quickly the East was building up and what the HFC could do in the area.
