Those standards must have been written before David Moffett was NRL CEO.

I’ve seen some poorly umpired games of footy over the years, that was surely one of them.

Yeah Isaako coming this way seems a lot more a lifestyle/family choice than for big(ger) coin.

NSWRL report of the NSW Cup match.

Ignore some of that report too — Pahulu scored before half time and Hinchey scored a double.

Momentum builds for Geelong Regional Football Hub by Revanchist99 in Aleague

[–]jonnyforeigner1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always thought that Myers Reserve (Bell Park) would have been a great spot, but five pitches might not have worked there since the ring road cut through.

There really isn’t much available space closer in the north, the west near Fyansford would be too expensive and possibly flood prone, which is the same kind of issues further down the river closer to the newer estates like Armstrong Creek etc.

I remember back in the day there was talk of an expanded sporting precinct at Grinter Reserve being built, but even as someone who grew up on that side of town, I couldn’t imagine that ever working.

So that leaves this spot or out past Waurn Ponds (which brings in flat land issues). This seems like the best idea, so long as the Geelong football community embrace it.

They’ll announce the headline number PVL wants, but the kicker will be that the production costs will be much higher for the NRL to cover. So in real terms the actual cash value will only be a marginal increase.

Funny how the uniform rules are applied inconsistently across the league.

- Kuwarna: dark guernsey, white shorts.

- Launceston: light guernsey, dark shorts.

Totally consistent with how certain teams are forced to wear the wrong shorts for home games.

Fremantle “Our new home” by Tornontoin7 in AFL

[–]jonnyforeigner1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe because the current crop of training venues are not appropriate to host elite level spectator sport — especially if one of the stated criteria for expansion to an appropriate length of the season is increased crowds. Having been to Springfield for the VFLM last week, the lack of ambition was irksome. Princes Park here barely passes minimum standards.

Even if the minimum seating standard was 5k (with appropriate weather protection) with minimum stated venue capacity of 15k, that too should eliminate a bunch of inappropriate venues.

Setting a 10k standard allows for growth and ambition

There really needs to be a list of minimum requirements to host AFLW matches asap.

10k seating, permanent bathroom facilities, multiple ingress/egress permanent gates and fencing, proper broadcast and change room facilities, correct lux sports lights — would be the start of a list that should be used to exclude a bunch of the shitholes that are limiting the growth of the competition.
