@BenitoWill has there been any talk of MV re-purposing the old CFG facilities at La Trobe uni? Maybe not the best look for the club to get CFG's hand-me-downs (personally I wouldn't care) but would surely solve the training/academy base issues very quickly.
@PloppyTrousers@hamhammer27 reservoir to fawkner doesn't really fix this problem. Some sort of ascot vale > brunswick > northcote link will still be missing.
@GuidoTresoldi @gomvfc@FootscrayPark at this point we should just use city's old training grounds/facilities at la trobe. i wouldn't have a problem with that
@Sachk0 just listened to the podcast. the chat occurs around the 7th min and this is an incredibly unfair representation of what BT said.
He actually spoke highly in favour of governments funding facilities for pro clubs, and mentioned the gov funding of AFL as justification.
@becinthelibrary@TheMatildas @abbieherway @outersanctum01@keepupau please choose an @aleaguewomen 's team before turning to overseas. We won't have moments like this again if all of Australia decide to invest their love, time and money in an English club over an Australian one.
the risk for tony here is that if he makes subs at an actually *appropriate* time and they contribute to a comeback, then a lot of questions will be asked about his management during AUS v ENG #SWEAUS
@footyindustryAU As a Melburnian, I go to Sydney or Brisbane in the winter and I almost feel like I'm stepping into another country. In the summer, barely any difference. How is our national sport anything else but cricket?
@RudiEdsall@lenphil29 bit of hyperbole i think, rudi. 2006-09 and 2013-16 we were on the cusp on something special. the glory days can and will return.
@Hirald0 we didn't realise at the time how good we had it during the 2012-2016 era. some better crowds at places like CCM and Perth would have been nice, but otherwise it was a great time.

@toukthriller@mmescobar_ A live-site 20-25 mins walk away isn't really appropriate for an event like this.
See this 2010 article about Birarung Marr replacing Fed Square as a live site.
The govt then clearly understood the risks of Fed Square, and now we are paying the price.
