    Re: Victoria University Whitten Oval Precinct Development

    Do we still get the equalisation fund money off the AFL?
    Or is it the fact that the AFL now owns Etihad we are getting our rightful earnings from the attendance ?
    To be honest I thought we had got rid of our pokies about 5 years ago.
    Read an article in my local about the bombers trying to lease Melton country club another 21 years but the council is under pressure to stop as the country club has taken 9million out of the residents this year.
    I was also in the belief that all clubs were supposed to abandon the pokies as revenue ( thought the AFL had made some sort of rule).

    Carlton would have to close down as a football club without pokies revenue.

    Is the scoreboard going to be able to show replays or is it just a scoreboard?

    At the Geelong Road end I believe. Much needed that’s for sure with the AFLW and VFL there and the odd AFL match in the future.

    Looks huge!
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Next step is to increase the capacity to somewhere around 15k to 20k according to PG

    Future AFL games 1 or 2 per year very possible if we get the capacity up. Has the lighting now although I think it needs to be more powerful for hosting night AFL games but probably will be played in the daytime if we were to play AFL games. Just all hypotheticals.
