Kardinia Park
Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (10:06): Saturday night was the official opening of stage 5 of Kardinia Park stadium and the Joel Selwood Stand. Geelong was buzzing all week in the lead-up to the game, and what a night it was, with the Cats winning by eight points in front of 40,000 fans, who packed out the stadium. The crowd went wild when Joel walked out on the oval and kicked the footy through the goal to signal the best regional stadium in the country is open for business. I congratulate the Kardinia Park trust for their work on delivering stage 5 on behalf of the Allan government.
