You mean Princes Park

Mofra is remembering when Craig Bradley played there

Re: smaller stadium would help AFL clubs make a profit

Would love Whitten Oval to be revived to see a home game or two there. In the end most likely not to happen. If not WO how about E-gate is that still on the radar or out of the picture like the proposed boutique stadium at the Showgrounds.

Steady on Easty. The show grounds are in, gasp, Essendon...

How far is the train station from WO?

By the time you get out of the pedestrian bridge you are literally across the road from the ground.

The government or any other organisation should not be spending $100 million on a new stadium. The AFL should buy Eithad and then make it work for all tenants. Clearly the current arrangements don't work for the clubs there.

As a club, we need more members and more people attending games and to fill the stadium every week or at least get 35k every time we play there. We as supporters need to take responsibility.

We definatly need more members.

I like the business analysis that Gordon has got our administration doing. Good stuff.

A little bit off the mark there! I lived across the road for 25 years and would have knocked myself off if I had to say I grew up in Essendon. Ascot Vale, top of the scale.

That's why we hate them so much Easty.

Yep I love it when we beat both of them. Need to beat Essendon this year. St Kilda although not as close geograhically is another we have formed a rivalry with.

We also played our first ever competitive game against St Kilda in 1883.

You weren't even born then Twodogs but you certainly know our club history very well.

Ascot Vale is like the "Five Points" from Gangs of New York. Or the Gaza strip. Essendon, North and Doggies fans abound, fighting for territory.

I am in Sunshine North now mate. Marginally closer to the WO and I get to drive past EJ and Dougie out the front of the Braybrook Hotel every day.
