I have been out of australia for too long...i didn't even realise anything on that scale was on the plans.
Sydney still won't be able to win there though, development or not.

I'm sorry to say Bottlerock, the last game I went to I saw Essendon spank the Swans. So their MCG hoodoo will continue it seems.
Lets hope the test against New Zealand is ready to go.

Telstra Dome is apaprently on standby just in case.
Most people find this development and turf replacement stuff pretty boring but I actually find it really interesting.
For most people familiar with watching sport at the 'G', when you are close to ground level, you often can't see the other side of the ground due to the 'hump' which is there especially for drainage. Due to the Commonwealth Games, this hump needs to be taken out, hence the need for major drainage works. From now on, the ground will be completely flat so you'll be able to see the other side of the ground perfectly.
All the turf has been regrown and is ready to be laid when the base is up to scratch.
When the new stands are finished, the 'G' will be absolutely awesome!

With the rain pissing down in Melbourne today, it's going to throw the works even further behind!
