that's a nice idea mate -- helipad!gringo wrote:The one thing about Seaford is it will be easy to park, living in the inner city is a pain in the arse when it comes to parking. You try parking anywhere near Visy and you're doing good. It takes 20 mins just to park around there.
If they could get Lin Fox to drop them in seaford in his copter we're all good.
Where have they declared this? When have they declared this? To Whom have they declared this? Do you have any proof to support these claims? !!barks4eva wrote:Eastern wrote:Which players? !!Beej wrote:

And I'd reckon Harvey thinks the Seaford Facility will be great, cuts his old commute down to around 15 - 20mins, also right near the end of east link so that puts most of the eastern suburbs within 20-30minsChicagoSaint wrote:Paul 'Huddo' Hudson clearly doesn't mind getting away from the madhouse that is Westpac and the St Kilda Gmes Record Holder seems pretty keen.

Don't be ridiculous.
If I were a future draftee, living next to the famous wool shed ruins would seal it for me.Places of interest include the Seaford Foreshore Reserve, Kananook Creek, the historic Seaford Hotel and the ruins of the Seaford Wool Shed.
Public parks, and not one, but TWO of them have barbecue facilities, you little fkn ripper!!Seaford is home to several public park spaces including two with barbecue facilities and playground equipment.

They don't have to live in Seaford, they could live nearly anywhere in the south and east of the city and be only around 30mins from the facility.Beej wrote:I'm just reading a bit about Seaford now.

Also we had a blank slate to work with which would have lowered the cost.Eastern wrote:There is a difference between our facility and those it is being compared with (Nth Melb, Bulldogs, Collingwood, Carlton). Their facilities are basically "Community Centres" where the footy club gets limited use
We have "EXCLUSIVE USE" to most of our facility and the lions share of the rest. !!
So you seriously believe that staff are leaving because we’re moving to Seaford?barks4eva wrote:EXACTLY!Bono wrote: You may not see Seaford as an issue but a couple of assistant coaches, the list manager, staff in the marketing and membership departments, along with a few top 10 senior StK players DO have an issue with the move to Seaford.
The club is literally heading further south and our premiership window has possibly only a couple of more seasons to run!
When we are trying to compete with the likes of Collingwood who have the Westpac Centre, the board have signed off on a white elephant sold to them by a CEO who left only months later!
This will bite us big time!
The only positive I can see about Seaford is that it does not cost much, so when the inevitable happens and it turns into an absolute disaster, we will look for a new home closer to St Kilda, in about 10 years time!
It will eventually make it increasingly more difficult to attract quality players to our club, when competing with the likes of Collingwood with an inner city location!
St Kilda is the most marketable suburb in Victoria and one of the most marketable suburbs in Australia and it is just plain stupid, to even further dilute and distance the football club from the place that gives this club it's name!
When Rod Butterss was voted out, he was actively seeking to establish the club as close to St Kilda as possible!
Even Ross Lyon made the comment " the challenges that Seaford presents" when asked about the departure of Leigh Tudor!
If there is one tradition the club is continuing, it's the capacity to once again shoot itself in the foot!

Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

We will have one of the worst training facilities in the AFL even after this cheap thing is built in an awful location which the players are not over the moon with!
