	Blues win court battle on Optus Oval - Breaking News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		A bid to block Carlton's move away from Optus Oval appears over after the Victorian Supreme Court struck down a campaign to hold a members' vote on the issue.
		The Save Optus Oval group had sought to force an extraordinary general meeting to vote on the proposal, having gathered a petition to force the meeting.
		However the club did not act upon the petition, claiming its presentation was invalid, with some signatures on pages not attached to the one detailing the cause of the petition.

	Australian Stadiums :: Optus on the agenda until 2006
		Optus Oval will remain an AFL venue until at least 2006 regardless of whether Carlton decides to shift from the last remaining suburban ground next year.
		AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou has confirmed the league will need Optus Oval to stage matches in 2006, due to the MCG being unavailable in the early weeks of that season due to the Commonwealth Games.
		But whenever the end does come for Optus Oval, it will signify the end of an era in the AFL because of its status as the last remaining suburban ground in Melbourne.

	Demonology- Independent Melbourne Demons
		Melbourne is attempting to change their scheduled match against Adelaide from Optus Oval to the MCG, fearing a repeat of the poor attendance in round four.
		John Elliott’s retaliation claim, that the Melbourne Football Club is no longer an asset to the MCG or the MCC severely backfired when the general manager of the MCC, Stephen Gough, stated facts that overwhelmingly contradict Elliott’s statement.
		Firstly, if Melbourne did not play its matches at Optus Oval this season, Carlton would be looking at debts in the order of $500,000 (according to the Carlton Football Club).

		Be it a Grand Final triumph or a last minute thriller, you're sure to find everything you ever wanted at...
		Carlton has farewell Optus Oval in disgrace, beaten by Melbourne to the tune of 18 points on a day that was meant to be a celebration of the Blues’ glorious past, not a dire look into its indignant future.
