Discussion: Just send them out and back...

Just send them out and back over the same bridge, hopefully it will be wide enough to avoid collisions.

i like the way candyman fixes problems from your dreams blair :P defs a true friend.

Blair - can't help with your dream, but can you help me with something else. There was an episode of a show called 'Rush' on channel 10 tonight. An armed felon, 'a shooter', was on his knees in the middle of an AFL ground. In the background I could see extensive concrete terraces for standing spectators, very overgrown with grass. There appeared to be one quite large grandstand, and I noticed signage saying 'StKilda Football Club Heritage Museum'. Was keen to know what ground this was - can you help?

Waverley's under housing now isn't it?

Late-for-start dreams are less common for me than late-for-plane-because-still-trying-to-pack/repack-all-orienteering/rogaining-gear dreams!

I expect the ground is probably Moorabbin. I haven't been there since an Essendon-St. Kilda game in the late 1980s, but wouldn't be surprised if it is pretty decrepit (especially as I think there was a proposal to redevelop it which was causing some local planning controversy).

It is Moorabbin, unless the television crew whipped up the sign at some other decrepit ground, like Victoria Park (sniggers!).

StK66, are you already planning a quick trip to Moorabbin during the Xmas 5 Day?

Thanks Blair, and thank you Oxoman for all the extra information.

I have actually watched a game at Moorabbin myself - I remember being in awe of big No. 18, 'Cowboy' Neale, playing at full forward for the Saints - and on a day when the 'mysterious local showers' had not hit the centre square area - the common tactical attempt by the Saints to bring the rest of the field down to their level.

I was pretty young, and just did not recognise anything about the ground during the TV show - even the grandstand, in which we were fortunate enough to get seats, seemed way more massive than that!! Where do the Saints train these days?

Not a bad idea rockman - perhaps on the day we go to Melbourne to put Joshwa on the plane. Would have to be a holiday highlight - and what a rich heritage the Saints would have for all to admire!
