Netball style zoning (I.e particular positions can only go into particular parts of the ground). And the players would have to wear the bibs.

If he lures Luke Hodge over to Collingwood he will achieve ultimate victory. Instead, Hawthorn takes Pendlebury. But seriously, what he's proposing is basically completely redesigning two separate disctricts completely including major public transport work. Destroying one stadium, moving another, and building another. I know this seems like a silly question, but how exactly would you move Hisense Arena? Not that it matters, this is surely not going to be taken seriously.

Without more detail on what Eddie proposed it's basically impossible to come up with an idea of how good it is. I do think the idea of selling Etihad then building something for less and pocketing the difference would very much appeal to the AFL. However, the plan Eddie has suggested would cost as much as selling Etihad would generate. I'm assuming he's thinking the government will pitch in a significant amount of money for it. Eddies plan seems to involve the putting Richmond station underground but considering it goes over punt road already I'm not sure how that would work. But Richmond station is in desperate need of a complete overhaul and is probably on the cards anyway so it could be a good way to piggyback onto a bunch of government funding. I'd kinda envisage them building over the top of the tracks (they are already thinking of doing this between Batman Ave and Fed Square) and really connecting the MCG with the tennis poo poo and maybe even Olympic park if they figure out something to do with Olympic boulevard. If done well that whole area could be really cool on a Saturday with multiple games of footy over the day.

The public transport for Etihad basically implodes if it gets a decent crowd. I don't see how it could be any worse if they aren't retarded.

They would have a crowd arriving for a game at the MCG at the same time a crowd leaves the new stadium and Richmond would collapse into a singularity of bad planning choices. At both ends of town you're a short walk from a couple of good bars to kill half an hour before getting on a train to avoid the crush, but if you're fighting a crowd coming the other way it would be mayhem. Add that into The Fence at the MCG and gently caress that.

But Richmond station is in desperate need of a complete overhaul and is probably on the cards anyway so it could be a good way to piggyback onto a bunch of government funding. If you want to sink the station underground, you have to remove the Punt Road overpass (main station), then also remove Swan Street overpass because it is close to the station and there isn't enough room to transition from below ground to above, East Richmond Station is closeby too so that'd have to be rebuilt (or removed more likely) for the transition. Now, towards South Yarra you have a few overpasses leading upto the river crossing, which either you sink the entire section between Richmond and South Yarra and rebuild both stations underground (looking a little late with Metro starting without an underground South Yarra interchange now) so, billions. Although you could probably move Richmond Station to the other side of Punt Road, keeping it on ground level and then decking it.

Nope. But a future link to the clifton hill area could go nearby, which would lay the groundwork and capacity for a doncaster railline (hah yeah right) That was stage 3 of the original metro tunnel proposal, stage 2 was a line from Domain through fishermens bend and under the yarra to newport or spotswood. But those extra stages were canned when the liberals wanted to run it via 'fishermens bend' (montague). The cliftonhill/doncaster tunnel would have joined the current Metro tunnel at the Parkville station, right next to Melbourne uni/the hospitals, go north a little bit under the uni and then turn to follow Alexandra parade and run down the middle of the Eastern. So that gets you at closest to Princess Park, the other side of Melbourne Cemetery. I suppose you could make the tunnel longer and go north a bit more but that would be expensive for not much benefit.  Other than rebuilding the inner city circle trainline which runs about 200 meters north of Princess Park, would be to build a new entrance for Royal Park station next to the zoo closer to Royal Parade. drunkill fucked around with this message at 10:09 on Mar 9, 2016 |

I haven't kept much up to date with this metro tunnel malarkey. Is it actually happening? What is the reasoning behind two stations being built next to two existing stations (Flinders/MC)? Just to take pressure off the loop? Also, seeing people name the new stadium idea as Eddiehad Stadium. No one will notice the difference!

Yeah basically a couple of lines will wholesale be moved onto the new city ...cuthrough? Which means if I'm on the craigieburn line and want to get on the frankston line I can swap from cbd South to Flinders St.

Here is the current network development plan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67sKsWXKauI http://ptv.vic.gov.au/about-ptv/ptv-data-and-reports/network-development-plan-metropolitan-rail/ It's a couple of years behind because the Libs wasted a few years of development and money on East-West link garbage but it's still pretty much what we're going for. Work on the updated network development plan happens next year and is released in 2018.

The idea (if you watch the video above) is to segregate as many services as possible and have stabling yards at each end of the line. It means that you are less likely to have a delay on the Lilydale/Belgrave line (for example) causing havoc on the rest of the network. Also you can run way more trains.

While Princes Park should be restored to a ~30-35k ground (currently somewhere around 25) and upgrading some facilities (toilets etc) as a boutique stadium, demolish Docklands and rebuild something at E-Gate. The area will be redeveloped once Docklands is completed in the next 10 years. Build it next to North Melbourne station, fronting Dynon Road on the south side of it, up against the creek. Then they can finally build the Footscray Road tram from the city to Footscray and it'd only be 400m south of the new Arden Station. Then you flog the land around it for developments of the old railyards when they are relocated. Here's my googlemap of the train tunnels too, it started as the 'skyrail' elevated rail for the Dandenong line but I added in the Melbourne Metro locations this evening, as well as the former proposed tunnels for the doncaster and fishermens bend lines, which are no longer official. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=zmhVpxOMtwuI.kfkll7ehKj1U&usp=sharing Diet Crack posted:Portals you say? drunkill fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Mar 9, 2016 |

Jones is the only person from last years leadership group to make the cut. Dawes, Lumumba, Grimes and Dunn all axed, Cross retired. Surprised about Dunn, not so much about Grimes. New group is Bernie Vince, Colin Garland, Tom McDonald, Jack Viney and Max Gawn. You'd assume Viney would be named vice captain, but I would have thought he's still a touch young for it.
