Will be standalone aswell.

For the next 2 years in the alignement a minimum amount Zebra players will have to play each week. Will be bout 8 or 9 I believe. If the Saints dont agree to that then Saints will be forced to go standalone from 2014. The Zebras have to think long term aswell for when they go standalone in 2016.

Should just re-develop the whole place and move the training base there again and be done with Seaford for good.


When Harvey played his first game in 1988, I was a 12yo wearing short pants and struggling with my readin', writin' and 'rithmetic in grade eight. Now, I'm a father of three and a retired AFL player. And he's still going. Amazing! - Michael Voss

Might need some change rooms and public dunnies as well!

The Standalone VFL side seems like an essential thing these days.

The Moorabbin bit doesn't do much for me personally as I don't live anywhere near there… I imagine it's pretty exciting for local saints people though.

I just hope there are superdogs there if I ever make it down.

Does anyone know if this has been approved by and will be a joint venture with the council, or is it all just speculation at this stage?

I'm sure they will try to ban us on noise levels, parking, community access, gambling, height limits, excessive enjoyment or over-beautifying the brutalist masterpiece that already stands in it's place but we will just have to hand some shonk a paper bag and it will get done.

Should have just done that last time.

And had a proper negotiator make the delivery.

I wonder what extent of redevelopment will be involved.
Plenty, with plenty of AFL & Government money to make it happen !!

Love the AFL to help but why would they?
P66....because they are nostalgic about our scandals.....and they want to reward us for having such ...relatively speaking ...."manageable" scandals....
