It’s a good view from up here

Luckily there wasn’t much wind around when these workers took to the Etihad Stadium roof last month.

Docklands News spotted three workers on the roof completing some painting, ahead of the launch of the 2014 AFL season this month.    

According to Etihad Stadium communications manager Bill Lane, the work was routine maintenance.

“As you would guess, we’re like the Sydney Harbour Bridge, maintenance around the stadium, including the roof, is continuous,” Mr Lane said.

The first AFL match at Etihad Stadium for 2014 is between Collingwood and Fremantle on March 14.
