    Western Melbourne - NRL Expansion (2nd Victorian Team)

    Thing with this though is we are a shit load bigger than Adelaide mate. The difference in support levels is probably not as stark when you factor in 9 Melbourne clubs vs 2 Adelaide ones

    Western Melbourne - NRL Expansion (2nd Victorian Team)

    Haha probably not Gotta say though, it can get pretty fun when in particular Tonga do well locally here in Altona They had the beach closed during one World Cup game there were so many down there

    Western Melbourne - NRL Expansion (2nd Victorian Team)

    Maybe if they move entirely to Canberra. No one in Sydney gives a shit The Giants are a perfect example of why a 2nd team here is as Canard suggests a long long long way off. The Storm have done amazingly carving out their spot, but they need a consolidation period before anyone does anything...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    How much of an improvement will the new screens be? When I go I tend to sit in the western corner at the MCG end and the current screens are horrific when trying to watch replays. Probably the only real flaw AAMI has

    2021 RLWC Men's Semi Finals

    They weren’t terrible as such. But combinations just weren’t there for what you’d expect from an Australian side As for Samoa. Well ❤️

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I haven’t missed the point at all. What I’m saying is the two cities and in particular where the clubs are based is a completely different scenario between Melbourne & Sydney. Relocate Penrith to Moore Park and see if their crowds/membership jumps to 80k or .... Decreases. Hell it’s 30kms...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Essendon is really a great example to use when looking at the differences between Melbourne and Sydney and why the Melbourne clubs have such a distinct advantage over the Sydney clubs. People have to remember that the VFL never expanded the the way the NSWRL did. Essendon is the furthest club...

    GWS

    Only 8,000 cared enough to register. Unprecedented. They had a second shot at it, post qualifying .... & still didn’t sell them all. Richmond members ended up getting the unsold ones. Joke of a ‘club’

    Tedesco’s contract

    Hehe. Wonder if James still stands by ‘I left for less money’

    NRL Pathetic media

    Did get a chuckle out if the Benny/Gagai ‘lies’ hissy. ‘The fans deserve better’ lol... you don’t give two f**ks about the fans, the hissy is because Wayne equally has no interest in playing things out in the media. With WB giving them nothing, there is no story. Instead they whinge, create...

    With the libs having won. What are the chances of Homebush being properly fixed during the term?

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    I can’t read the pay walled one mate. I’ll have to take your word on it that I’m wrong The talk on the ground has always been around the upgrade to the G. Maybe that’s wrong based on what you are reading there. In saying that if it is indeed 10 years away, maybe they are hanging out for...

    If you want to argue the overall package, sure. Part of the package was to upgrade suburban facilities as well. Nothing to do with the AFL extending the GF contract. The other part of the package is what I mentioned re the upgrade, the MCC being able to finance modernising the southern stand...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    In fairness mate. We have had an election since that announcement. The chicken littles returned him in a canter. The public generally doesn’t care about pub money going into venues. End of the day they do get the benefit of the upgraded facilities when they attend. Rightly or wrongly on the...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    & it’s (The AFL) then seen as the most popular game based solely on the visual impact of high crowd attendances. Ignoring any realties of actual popularity. That article a page or so back regarding the original build of the SFS is really interesting for someone who doesn’t know the history...

    Good one ElD thx for that. Interesting view though not 100% sure that’s borne out in the new photos with the seating actually in place. Be interested to see what he thinks post the new photos.

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    Ah fair enough. One of the big things that jumped out me was they avoided the stupidity of rectangular design on the upper bowl. Where they have gone for a genuine bowl design here on the upper tier. Look at Wollongong for what I mean. With restricted view I guess until people get in there...

    The Game Future NRL Stadiums part II

    ^ thatll be the thing. Even for the smaller games besides as you say it’ll look fine on tv, the atmosphere will still be good inside as well if you get most/all of the lower bowl full Am I wrong mate? Admittedly haven’t read the whole thread just going off those photos Suity posted which do...

    Yep. When full the atmosphere will be great Doesn’t look like there is a ‘bad’ seat in the place

    2019 Jerseys/Logos/Sponsorships

    Just sayin’ is what it is. Getting upset ain’t going to change it. Would rather give credit in that they actually came up with two decent looking jerseys. The old white was pure garbage. This new away is so much better than that cringeworthy POS Official line is last real gold one (same design...
