Aah the soccer agenda again. Wondered where you were going with that Ian..
I'm not wrong though
Spot on, seize!
We have all this money either set aside or ready to be drawn down.
Our own savings from the Triple Treat + Merch sales + Sponsorships + + +
Federal Money promised.
State Money promised.
Big news from Hawks as mentioned, with old Albo shovelling *smile* in his pristine high vis gear.
Crickets from us.
With all these extra teams we've got now (vfl, ladies, wheelchair) we need to get moving on this.
I understand Benny is prob worried about where the rest of the money will come from and not to put us in to huge debt.
But can't help feeling we are being left behind by other clubs.
We have the prime location.
Just need to make a move.
(I wonder have any of you guys who are in clubs like Club80 etc asked these questions on the info nights?)

to put some perspective on this, Hawthorn starting planning to develop that BARREN SHITHOLE back in 2015 - NINE *smile* years ago !!
We are trying to do something similar in the inner city, different strokes, folks !

From The President:
Off-field, we remain committed to commencing the Punt Road Oval redevelopment this year. Increased costs have complicated our plans somewhat and, on behalf of members, the Board is conscious of taking a responsible approach to debt in the current economic climate.
That said, we still expect to commence works this year. This redevelopment is vital to our future. It will strengthen us off-field and give us the opportunity to win on-field.
As part of this, we will shortly launch a key consumer fundraising campaign, engaging the might of the Tiger Army to kick-start our final push. Please keep an eye out for it and as always, any support is greatly appreciated.
***PS. I will believe it when I see it.

Wasn’t there some thing about getting your name physically printed on a brick that was to be used in the new stand?
Now we get “digital” acknowledgement of a brick and a name on a “digital” honour board?
If I could have had my name of the new stand to be there for the next 100 years I’d have been all over it.
“Digital acknowledgement?” Not for me
I agree digital acknowledgement is bollocks, do it properly or don't bother.
As for the idea that we be careful in these times, what are they on about? When there is inflation debt devalues in real terms, as long as the interest rate isn't bad it is the best time to be in debt.

It looks great and I'm sure Benny's put a power of work in to ensure it will set us up for the future. But 'digital commemorative certificate' is a bit limp.
Oh well you can print it out, mount it to your wall and hand it down to your grand children
