I said I would do it for you guys - and I did it, I have got the latest information on the plans for Members Equity Stadium redevelopment and the ideas presented to the Major Stadia Taskforce on the rectangular stadium
It should be up, when the bloke in Melbourne gets off his lazy ass![]()
Anyways, thanks for having faith in me, journalism is patience and finally got an article that will give the public an idea of what is happening with the stadium presentations to the taskforce.
Thanks very much

Callme a cynic, Egan - but last time you had news liek this was back in August - we're still waiting!
BTW - Thanks for the report on the Mandurah training session today. Good to see the media department doing a good job![]()
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
Hey mate, that was just letting you know about a source that I had...because news was desperately sought about the stadium issue back then.
I assure you the article is written and ready to be published.
Is just waiting upon the lazy Victorian to publish it.
I assure you I am not messing around with ya mind![]()

Q] From Steve Gearhart: “Where does the term baited breath come from, as in: ‘I am waiting with baited breath for your answer’?”
[A] The correct spelling is actually bated breath but it’s so common these days to see it written as baited breath that there’s every chance it will soon become the usual form, to the disgust of conservative speakers and the confusion of dictionary writers. Examples in newspapers and magazines are legion; this one appeared in the Daily Mirror on 12 April 2003: “She hasn’t responded yet but Michael is waiting with baited breath”.
It’s easy to mock, but there’s a real problem here. Bated and baited sound the same and we no longer use bated (let alone the verb to bate), outside this one set phrase, which has become an idiom. Confusion is almost inevitable. Bated here is a contraction of abated through loss of the unstressed first vowel (a process called aphesis); it has the meaning “reduced, lessened, lowered in force”. So bated breath refers to a state in which you almost stop breathing through terror, awe, extreme anticipation, or anxiety.
Shakespeare is the first writer known to use it, in The Merchant of Venice: “Shall I bend low and, in a bondman’s key, / With bated breath and whisp’ring humbleness, / Say this ...”. Nearly three centuries later, Mark Twain employed it in Tom Sawyer: “Every eye fixed itself upon him; with parted lips and bated breath the audience hung upon his words, taking no note of time, rapt in the ghastly fascinations of the tale”.
For those who know the older spelling or who stop to consider the matter, baited breath evokes an incongruous image, which Geoffrey Taylor humorously (and consciously) captured in verse in his poem Cruel Clever Cat:
Sally, having swallowed cheese,[I’m indebted to Rainer Thonnes for telling me about this little ditty, which appears in an anthology called Catscript, edited by Marie Angel. However, it was first published in 1933 in a limited edition of Geoffrey Taylor’s poems entitled A Dash of Garlic.]
Directs down holes the scented breeze,
Enticing thus with baited breath
Nice mice to an untimely death.
Who is the spelling Nazi now???????????

Guys its up.
Thanks for the patience. I am sure this good news is worth it, that you have soccer, league and the entertainment industry on your side to bring MES to 35,000.

a nice article Egan well done
its great that all potential users are on the same page. I think that they are selling themselves short capacity wise,but, the big problem is they are still just talking about it, even if the Taskforce signs off on it - when are we going to be able to use it? 2015?

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
Well the Taskforce presentation will provide recommendations to the government on the size of the rectangular stadium.
ATM I would probably leave the respective parties to the MES redevelopment. I think theres not to much more to be got out of whats happening in regards to the development and the next time I will talk about it will be the interim report.
Or if I get Langoulant's views on the articles and MES at 35,000.
Didn't they say it was going to be in use in 2008?
Earliest I can see it finished is 2009.
The finish dates have been delayed frequently, but the Major Stadia Taskforce shall give it a more highlighted position on when it will be built and at what time.
S0 35 thousand ay? I'm ok with that![]()
