Panel 1 - Mel, an orange pentagon holding a large knife, runs toward Sam, a red circle, who is holding an Aztec Calendar stone. "Sam, I just saw the temple. Guess what the Aztecs do to appease Huitzilopochtli the god of the sun?"
Panel 2 - Mel waves her knife. "They rip people's hearts out!"
Panel 3 - Sam ponders. "Well, I suppose it could be worse."
Panel 4 - A closeup on Sam. He's upset. "...they could date you for six months first..."

The saga of Waverley Park — Melbourne's car-dependent suburban AFL stadium with a planned seated capacity of over 150,000 (not a typo!)

A really good run down by @philip on the plans by the AFL (and its predecessor, the VFL) to build the world's largest stadium in outer-suburban Melbourne.

Unfortunately, a planned railway line past the stadium to Rowville was never built. That meant a massive 25,000-spot car park as the only real means to get there.

While most of it has been demolished and redeveloped for housing, the oval itself still used by Hawthorn Football Club as a training and administration centre.
