Robodog posted:So is this better than theNSW govt. Sydney stadiums stuff or worse or what. Better, it is AFL. Nah, a third or so of the costs are going to 'community grounds' which yes does include Princes Park, Kardinia Park, Eureka Stadium and Casey fields but also actual community grounds with change rooms for girls. The rest is an elevated concourse above Brunton avenue to Richmond station, with bars and food trucks, a new entertainment precinct for Docklands with an extra footbridge across the railyards and also bars and cafes and restraints there, plus the AFLs own investment into a 7 star hotel where AFL House is and a possible new music venue where Channel 7 HQ sits now on the northern end of the stadium, to replace Festival hall (or be similar anyway) From what is gathered: $10m for Princes Park (matched by AFL or federal government probably plus council & club contributions) Final stage for Kardinia (no clue, 20-40m?) Stage 2 for Eureka, stage 1 was $15m and included resurfacing and lighting. Stage 2 could be ~10m? Whitten Oval upgrades $??? Victoria Park upgrades $??? Casey Fields upgrades $??? Moorabbin Oval upgrades $??? Docklands precinct upgrades $225m MCG southern stand capacity boost & concourse $??? Local grass roots clubhouse upgrades $??? The footyshow (ugh) had this, which looks like like animations from the government, no doubt to be released in full at tomorrows press event https://twitter.com/AFLFootyShow/status/984384711089840128

We are screaming for more space at my local, we have 240 registered people at a club that had like 60 players 5 years ago. 95 women. The change rooms are fine but holy lol the storage space for the gear, the pavillion, the councils ongoing refusal to kick the soccer kids off oval next door by installing lights on the actual soccer pitch 30 seconds walk to the south, it's putting a strain on.

We'll find out more info in like 10 hours when the press conferences are happening but apparently the MCG upgrade is closer to 1bn than 300m. Seems the AFL or Fed Gov will be kicking in a bunch of cash. If it isn't a full tear down and rebuild job I wonder what they'll do, a fifth tier of seating that overlaps the fourth? Extend the 4th tier back like 10 more rows? $240m for the suburban ovals (which is to say AFL club aligned suburban ovals, as well not just grass roots but they will get a chunk of that) Princes Park getting $20mil, Moorabbin Oval getting $13mil, Casey Fields getting $10mil. not sure on Vic Park and Whitten Oval but that would mainly be AFLW investment so changerooms for two extra teams as well. So possibly $150m for local clubs around Victoria, possibly more if the AFL or feds kick in funding too. drunkill fucked around with this message at 15:55 on Apr 12, 2018 |

I just found out I tipped all 9 games correctly last Round, and missed the Blues/Pies margin by 1 point. I’m pointing this out because I’m fairly sure it’s never happened before, and I doubt it’ll happen again.

Huh. Channel 7 and Foxtel to sign the cricket rights today. So 9 and 7 swapped cricket and tennis. I wonder what this means for AFLW as that airs while late summer cricket is still running.

I find the tipping at this end of the season to be the miraculous time the better one does, simply because there's always a few surprises. You know the good teams will win away and the bad teams lose at home. Yeah Saints, you bloody turnips. I punted on GWS and Suns but they lost, I guess Freo is playing better at home this year and GWS still have to find a way to win at the SCG.

Adelaide claimed 80,000 today too but that includes 3 game memberships and digital memberships which the afl no longer counts, still; healthy numbers. I guess the mcg upgrades cannot come soon enough.

Probably, unless they punch a hole in the DFO building. Or it might come out on a 45 degree angle from the Bourke St footbridge and go towards the northern end of the ground, who knows, no actual plans released, just concept art with big flashy screens overlooking the railyards (lol)

The afl has offered an olive branch to non Victorian clubs 1) the afl will continue to allow non Victorian clubs to play in the afl 2) the afl will address the home game advantage for Victorian teams in the grand final by requiring non-Victorian teams to play a percentage of their home games at the MCG

The story is a little more complex than I first thought, they knew that one of the girls would not survive more than a few hours at the 11 week scan due to a fatal condition which causes parts of the brain and skull to under develop. They seem like pretty amazing people in the way that they've handled the awful situation.

Oh I'm aware, it can be a real prick of a thing years in the making. My cousin finally got another kid in through adoption after a couple of years of fuckery and they take in foster kids frequently, it would be even harder if you weren't able to prove a track record of being a decent parent.

Which is completely loving ridiculous given how many children there are that would benefit enormously from adoption and how many people out there are desperate to have children but can’t for whatever reason. The state of the system is disgusting and it angers me, greatly. Anyway, the news of the Rohan’s trouble is very sad, but I’m glad it wasn’t a surprise. They at least had time to do some grieving before the arrival of their healthy girl.
