WOW! Completely blown away, went for a stroll through there the view was unreal, facilities really impressive and it just looks great. Massive kudos to those involved Only thing I'd ask is the glass viewing part - could you actually see the players in there at all? And we were told to not stand...

As the teams are running out Scotty Cam will be standing in the middle of the ground..... *loud whistle* TOOLS DOWN!

It's grim times

Yep, been very impressive in both games Other thing I've forgotten in that post is the "geelong clap clap clap" on the loundspeaker after every goal, please get rid of it. Interferes with when the crowd was actually trying to do it

My key points - Sometimes it's bloody simple. Give the first option and if it's not there get it on the boot - A staple of bombers game style was to 'press up', eg if the balls up on the wing and a loose North defender on the forward 50 our full forward would press up leaving their loose man at...

Very happy. - The way we moved the ball was completely different to the JLT series, maybe we were nailing our 'how not to play' style? - We appeared much more willing to share the ball in the middle, Duncan was a particular beneficiary and Murdoch in the first term. My hope in Murdoch is...

Few points, for the record I know it's only JLT but still - So frustrating to watch us play the same way out of defense. I don't know if it's our forwards lacking separation further up the ground or what it is but this chip pass style is ridiculous - Our forward line lacks complete structure...

Geez I'd love to be able to get Social Club membership it looks fantastic. Maybe one day Can't help but wonder what corporate they'll have in the Ford/Gary Ablett tce, I like it far better to the back of lvl 1 leaving all of lvl 2 for seating then vice versa.

Dermie only cares about Dermies opinion it's simple as that. Anyone who doesn't agree with him is wrong and he seems never willing to change his viewpoint, which makes him dangerous as a commentator when he has a bias. Slightly unrelated but I remember seeing him at the MCG buying food for the...

Really sad news. For an infrequent user like myself JubJub was a name that I knew, remembered and respected. This wasn't just his opinions but his manner in posting also. 44 is too young for anyone let alone someone who by all accounts was as good a guy as him. RIP JubJub and wishing all the...

Can't remember if it was in this thread or not, but I had a fairly lengthy discussion with someone re the economics of these stadium redevelopments Last night apparently was between 1-3mil in economic benefit to the city. Big Bash would match that and an extra AFL match or two courtesy of the...

Couldn't agree more about the 'surprisingly', I was expecting it to very ordinary. I think the KP trust or whoevers in charge will take a big lesson from that re pricing. Barely anyone in the platinum seats @ premiership stand shows for mine that they overestimated the difference in...

Being there I'd guess 14,000-15,000. Was very well organised/run, great atmosphere also (better than most AFL games there). The ground certainly got a tick from me for cricket, the pocket-pocket pitch worked really well. I sat basically 'behind the goals' near the front in the premiership stand...

Hopefully it will balance out, eg increase development pathways for young women in sport = more opportunity for a wider range of athletes. Think it's inevitable in the short term other sports will suffer however

I'm a bit concerned about this year without Blake Caracella. Think we're lacking a really quality right hand man for him in the box, maybe Simon Lloyd could move into more of an assistant coaching role? On the veterans discussion that went on, think Kelly was absolutely the right call, Chapman...
