All of this is exactly what Elliot tried achieving at Princes Park.dibo wrote:If they own it, they can also rent it to other clubs. If nothing else, it'll drop the costs at Docklands quick smart.
It'd be a very interesting shift in the power base away from the AFL too.

Re: Collingwood may build own stadium
They want land to build on and Waverley has none. The AFL future proofed Dead Waverley by subdividing right up to the boundary of the ground.Simmo79 wrote:why?

Just like Waverley was.
