I'm not yet convinced this is great news for the club. It's terrifically symbolic but will it really be that much an improvement on what we already had in place?

This is a significant cost and I will be interested to hear how they will cover it.
Coaches, top up players and an upgrade to the WO to make it VFL ready is just some of challenges that need to be met.

If we can't fund things like enough GPS vests now then our finances will be stretched that much further in 2014.

I get why so many see it as a positive but we need to be sure that they club can get this right and have an understanding that just putting the younger VFL guys into a red, white and blue playing jumper won't necessarily make it a success. There is a lot more to it than that.

Personally I would prefer that we don't play home games at the WO and I would recommend that we don't call the VFL side Footscray.
