As a Victorian born and bred, who has lived in Victoria all of my life (other than 3 years posted to Canberra, where I developed a minor interest in NRL and will admit, I did follow the Raiders), who cares!

Swans had A big win, was looking at being over 100 at points 10 minutes out, only by 81 in the end.
Our percentage is looking good too
I know, only 2 games in.

So Tassie gets a team - well deserved..


But thats a lot of $$$$ the Gov are putting into it that I personally think could be better spent on health, homelessness etc ..

Thoughts from Tassie peoples??

Hi , yep, we need a stadium like a hole in the head.
You couldn't pick a better spot for lack of access and promise of congestion though.

^^^^^^^^^^ That

We have two footy stadiums. Getting a team will be a good thing for the state but not spending over a billion dollars to have it...

But they said it's only 750 million..... when has anything the government built ever gone over budget?

Having our own team makes sense even to me who couldn't give a toss about the game, but if that's the cost of it when we already have stadiums that appear to be working fine..... faaark the footy!

that is my concern..

a billion would do a fair bit for homeless people whose numbers are growing due to costs of Shit lately....

'Not everyone is happy..

And now, the mood on the ground has been perfectly summed up by a viral Twitter post which includes a picture of the proposed stadium precinct next to an alternative vision for the site which would focus on building hundreds of much-needed homes.

"Compare the pair. One thousand homes or 23,000 seats sitting empty for 350 days of the year," the tweet reads.

The alternative plan for Macquarie Point has been developed by architects and is being pushed by Booker Prize-winning author Richard Flanagan, former governor Kate Warner, lawyer Roland Browne and renters' advocate Ben Bartl.

It would include 1000 homes, which would house up to 3000 people, and would come with a $400 million price tag – a bargain at around half the cost of the stadium plan.
