Its hard to make ovals exactly the same dimension. And your talking about a huge investment in money at pretty much every ground so that 8-12 games of AFL per year become "fairer".

It's something *different* about Aussie Rules - it gives coaches something to think about. It can produce different styles of play.Comment

someone said back yonder.....about wishing the wiggles still played at the WACA.
noooooooooooooooooooo!
the WACA was way wider than subiaco but the same length, being 188 metres. the biggest field of play in the league by a mile.
as for the SCG, ive made it very clear in the past that i cant stand the joint. run by a pack of cricket and rugby leage loving effwits. i would rather a vision of 70 odd thousand season ticket holders out west. but thats a pipe dream i know that.
maybe a "you know what" may fix that? i cant say the "P" word in this time of the year.

Refer to it as a Number One then or it'll be painful, soon. Thought I suspect Number Twos may be more relevant by Friday afternoon. . .Originally posted by lescygnes

But I love that the SCG is so small. It gives it character. Likewise, adjusting your game to suit a bigger ground (or smaller ground for that matter) is part and parcel of our game and an intergral part of the home ground advantage. Let's not forget that there are a lot of teams who struggle at the SCG, largely because of it's size. It's a massive advantage IMO, not a hinderance.Comment

Not when you have to play away games and the GF on bigger grounds, which is the point of this post.Originally posted by Vivien

Just heard on Channel 10:
If Sydney lose this week then next weeks game might be moved to the SCG cos of a clash with the League finals at StadAust.
Dunno whether this is a good or a bad thing....That's the problem with modern day medicine - there's no more natural selection of the species.
No wonder there's so many Collingwood fans.Comment

Not good also to be going back to the small ground so close to the GF IMO."My theory is that the universe is made out of stupidity because it's more plentiful than hydrogen" - Frank ZappaComment
