So let me get this straight - the RFC won't train at Craigieburn a facility built for them with a MCG size ground because it is too far away from Punt Road but will travel down to Sandringham?
Righteo then
Craigieburn is a hole. Sandringham is a nice drive to a nice middle class suburb which also allows the boys to get to the beach for a swim or a recovery session from a hard training session.
How would you know IIRC you've ever been out there to check out Highgate Reserve abnd the facility that is out there?
My point is they sooked about having to travel out to Craigieburn but you don't hear the same sooking about Sandringham, Moorabbin etc
Funny how Craigieburn was a great idea when they couldn't move cricket off Punt Road. And I've said it before without having to outlay $0.01 they had a facility built for them, to their requested specifications (read the size of the MCG) and now the shun it for reasons that have nver really been clearly explained outside of it's too far to travel
