gymnasium, rehabilitation pool, meeting rooms, lecture theatre and an indoor sports hall for basketball, netball and other sports that will be made available to local schools, health providers and sporting associations.
as well as...
an AFL MCG sized oval
I would say plenty IMO and I wouldn't worry too much about the graphics
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Looking at that pic, I guess that it is about 60 metres from the Hummer on the left to the 2nd of the blue cars on the right.
I'm guessing the Hummer is parked outside the basketball/netball part of the complex. The pool looks like it will be in that back left corner (remember its only a lap pool. About 15 metres long and 2-3 lanes). The gym and lecture theatre could occupy the middle-back area, with the admin section/offices up the right hand end. Not sure what that little bit with the small logo is
It has to be at least............................ three times this big!!
How do you expect our players to train if they can't even fit inside the building?
lol, that gave me a good laugh! our players are not that big are they? surely they can squish inside there?
"Another storied win in Robert Harvey's career. They say he is the embodiment of their motto of strength through loyalty, and on the day he became just the tenth man to play 350 league games the saints reward him with a seemingly impossible victory."
Each of those parking bays should be a minimum of 2.6metre wide if they comply with Australian Standards.
Class 3 parking spaces allowing car front doors to be fully opened.
So by my estimation the complex is about 70 to 75 metres long.
That looks like another building on the near side of the car park.
We can only see one end of it.

I hope the players know about car pooling.
With the possibility of 48 players including rookies and then some staff and coaches and trainers there are not any where near enough parking bays.
Certainly no parking for Saintsational supporters wanting to watch training sessions.

I would like to see a soft surface running track around the outside of the oval. Our players sustain enough stress injuries due to excesive running on hard surfaces and grounds - Telstra Dome.

Let's not get sidetracked on the Jihad stadium thing.
The point is this complex would fit easily at Moorabbin.
Our traditional base for the last forty years.
Easily accessible.
As opposed to Frankston or North Frankston or wherever this latest wasteland is located.
Our traditional supporteres aren't going to troop down there.
Frankston is not our heartland.
Nor is Cranbourne, as we have already discovered.
The Kingston Council comes up for re-election this month.
Hopefully Popsy Wopsy and the other retards on the Clowncil will be thrown off.
The if our President Greg Alwaysaway can be "found" we can hopefully negotiate something.
I simply refuse to believe that the residents of Kingston want us out.
The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

What a load of crapola....
So the so called "traditional supporters" aren't going to "troop" down there...
and this is your reasoning of not relocating
They are not relocating to suit supporters watching them train, they have moved to a site that is been given the go ahead from the state government and local council....
Did the Hawks "traditional supporters" bitch and moan about their relocation to Waverley, from the "tradition heartland" in Hawthorn...is Waverley their so called "heartland"

Is "Linen House Park" manly enough for you.

I fail to see how Frankston is not in our heartland, when we clearly have more supporters on the Mornington Peninsula than any other club, our greatest ever player is from Frankston and we have had many other footballers from that area play for us?
Moorabbin wasn't our "heartland" in 1965 when we moved there.
It was as far from our heartland as Frankston/Seaford is now.
Club's need to make bold, foward looking decisions. Not decisions that satisfy a bunch of middle-aged supporters who have fond spiritual memories of the "good old days" at Moorabbin, but 2-3 future generations of supporters who will actually keep this club going, and who are more likely to live in Frankston than in an inner-city bayside suburb of Melbourne.
I love what the club is doing moving to Seaford. It's close to Eastlink, allows us to claim the whole bayside area, will provide us with a great modern training facility, positions us in a strong population growth area, offers a "blank canvas" and an excellent financial deal for the club.
And I live nowhere nearby.
But it's best for the club's future ... maybe not for the future of our older supporters who yearn for the "good old days" at Moorabbin, or who insist on us remaining in the inner-city where there is little population, space or money for football, but best for the future of the next generation of Saints fans, and best for our players and club.

Too right St Fid. It would suit me more for us to stay at Moorabbin as I hope to be working in Moorabbin for a couple of years from Feb 2010 - but the convenience of me popping down a couple of times a year is easy to give up if it means the boys, who will be there 4-5 times a week, getting an elite sports facility......

From the pic there are at least 43 parking spots, and possibly more. Lets wait & see before jumping to conclusions !!

I agree. The decision should have little to do with the past (other than taking into account if there is a historical support base already in existence). We need to be positioned where we can maximise membership and have a quality training facility.

I don’t think that EastLink is relevant. Very few people go to training, and of those who do only some would come via EastLink.

You're not seriously suggesting those are significant "growth areas" are you?
I recall digging out some ABS stats for an earlier post. Sure there are some new estates and new houses being built, but if you think they are growth areas you haven't visited an outer suburb in a growth corridor for a long time.
