The new big 4; Collingwood, Richmond; Essendon* and Hawthorn ....... next is Geelong.

And bought to us by the same people who changed the jumper...

I think you'll find it was the local residents who made sure not one extra square metre was taken away from parkland.

It's why I laugh when people talk about building a bigger stadium and it being used again for AFL games

we still built the legends stand

if it was built in a manner which was financially correct, by a better President, there would be no argument.

The facts are we were a strong club then who were unable to extract further parkland in a much less pc world with residents who were used to football every second week yet you think we can plonk a bigger stadium there now.

Smorgyland has more hope of getting up

We couldn't do what we wanted in the 90s as we lost the backing of the AFL once they decided upon Docklands. With their backing, we would of been able to get PP as a 50k stadium.

And the Melbourne City Council was against it. Wasn't it the time of Kennett's apointed councils and Graeme Samuel ran the MCC and he was also part of the Docklands stadium committee.
So we had no hope

i say again MCC can be rolled if the club exercises muscle

Everyone has a price. You can apparently buy the deputy Lord Mayorship for $200,000. Chump change really.

Very true but it wasn't all that long ago that Hawthorn were a basket case of a club.

Got their act together though, and it wasn't overnight either. They planned and earnt their sucsess.


I'd like to think that we're doing the same.

From Wikipedia

He has also had extensive involvement in senior levels of sports management in Australia. Samuel recently joined the Australian Rugby League Commission, which governs the NRL and is a former commissioner of the Australian Football League (he became a life member of the league in 1995). During his time as AFL commissioner, Samuel was one of the so-called "faceless men" who were vilified by supporters during the attempted merger or relocation of clubs such as Footscray, Fitzroy, Melbourne and Hawthorn.[3]

On 3 May 1995, The Age highlighted Samuel’s vision for the future of the AFL under the title 'The Samuel Vision' — which included the following major points:

Port Adelaide’s entry to the AFL is a priority.
The AFL is being damaged by maintaining 11 clubs in Victoria.
Fitzroy should consider merging with Brisbane.
Commission should no longer deal with issues of discipline.
Waverley Park’s future will depend on how many clubs are in the competition.
A minimum salary cap should be considered for clubs.
Western Oval is not necessarily the best place for Footscray.
Minimum level of contribution to AFL revenue a condition of clubs keeping license.
Samuel was also was the chairman of the Melbourne and Olympic Parks Trust, which oversees both Melbourne Park and Olympic Park, Melbourne.

In July 2012, Samuel was appointed Chairman of the Victorian Taxi Services Commission following the Victorian Government's initiative to clean up and provide better regulation around the taxi cab industry.[4] The Government's Taxi Industry Inquiry headed by Professor Allan Fels recommended sweeping reforms to improve taxi services in Victoria. Samuel is charged with overseeing on the ground implementation of Fels' reforms.
