Title: Pool at Punt road?
Post by: Phil Mrakov on January 02, 2014, 04:30:10 PM
Just trying to win an argument with an Essendon fan who says besides the new small pool and spa inside the me bank centre there is no full size pool (25 metres) at punt road. I was under the impression that we did get a full size 25 metre pool in around 2006-2008 before the current facilities were completed and it is also a public pool and was funded by the local Yarra council.

Can anybody clarify ? Also if it's a public pool I wouldn't mind trying it out myself.

The swimming pool named in honour of the late David Mandie is located in the middle building between the new ME Bank Centre and the Jack Dyer Stand.

There is a pool, but it's run by Klim Swim so they do all the programs for it.

This won't be possible as the players aren't allowed to use a pool on RFC grounds because it is run by klim swim. Great plan that, build a pool at punt rd and the players aren't allowed to use it.

Why don't we get a tin rattling campaign together to outfit an army of Russian T20 tanks to sweep around the troops of Colonel von Kilm in a classic pincer movement.  Probably cos a tank cost $50M, but hey its for the Tiges!

What rot

The RFC have always, always had access to the pool they have access to the pool every day from 8.30am in the morning

The public have access to it from 6.30am-8.30am; Monday to Friday. Actually it costs less for RFC members to use it than the general public

Klim Swin run the public side of things including (as I posted before) a fantastic "learn to swim" prgoram for little tackers

So for you to constantly harp that the club doesn't have access to the pool is total rubbish

And BTW it is Benny GALE not Benny Gail

I can't see what all the fuss is about.  :huh What with the massive improvements in ground drainage these days, I would have thought swimming is a skill that would not be high up on the list of priorities for an AFL player and should be replaced with something more relevant like Marlin fishing or vigorous twerking.

Remember when Wilson was CEO and GR was secretary and ran the show? Well this is the same thing but instead Klim is ruling the club with an iron fist from the pool room.

Have you seen the crap that RFCO posts on the forums. If he wasnt running the circus down there at Punt Road they would have given him the arse by now, but no he is still there, still churning out crap from his pc like its going out of fashion. RFCO is definately in charge down there. No wonder we cant fire a shot in the finals.  ;D
