I'd have thought that located either around Princes Park, or with other statues of sporting greats in the MCG precinct would have been more appropriate. Although maybe the decision to locate it here was a deliberate one to sort of take it a step away from the pure sporting angle & move it into a social comment area. Still don't know if that works for me.
Maybe this is not intended to be the final location.
Its not.
It will be at Fed square for a month, initially, then its final destination is unknown at this stage.
Fed square is a good initial starting point as it will probably be seen by more people than any other location would've been.
As for statues around the MCG, those statues are there because of the efforts those people put in, specifically, at the MCG in terms of sporting prowess. Despite Taylas ability, i'm not sure she's even played on the MCG. Regardless, i'm not sure her name is even on the statue as its got very little to do with her ability, rather the story/movement that image represents.
