James Hird Academy

They love having games there aswell for some reason, easily one of the worst.

You have to go through Crazyburn to get there. Think of Escape from New York.

Am I misremembering or did AFLVic move their hq there a few years ago? They probably want to keep stuff in their own backyard. I think it’s one of the few grounds that the u18s have first/only rights to, all the rest have to juggle schedules with local footy, VFL etc.

I remember going to a f*cking freezing wet VFL game there, back in the Bendigo Bombers days.

There was absolutely no shelter.

No shelter from the sun either, if you want to get sunburnt it’s a nice spot too

The burgers are pretty decent, albeit with the ingredients in an odd order.

Was there a certain side you had along with that burger?

A particular form of nourishment made from potatoes which have been cut into long pieces, fried in oil until golden brown and sprinkled with salt?

Get nicked.

You don’t want to do that, I can assure you it’s no fun being me

The game I was at… the people sitting under the ‘shelter’ were getting rained on… as you said, because it was facing into the wind

My theory is they built it this way to act as a sail, in the hope that one day the wind’ll get high enough to blow the whole shebang somewhere other than Craigieburn.

@Finding_Nino, wanting to see if Josh could be our big-bodied midfielder??
