I am watching Cats vs Norff at Etihad. Hope the club talk to the AFL about the surface, it's a disgrace, looked like Drew Petrie pulled up an enourmous amount of sand turning around, looks really dangerous to play on, whereas the Blacktown surface looked great

Turf replacement starts tomorrow so it should look much better by next weekend. Having said that the players said that at least the surface isn't shifting which is probably the bigger risk with some of the turf being replaced this week.
I'm on the Chandwagon!!!
If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

I don't get why people still like AC/DC, still.It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

AC/DC = top band. Did'nt see them at Etihad, but saw them at the Tennis Centre for the 'Who made Who' tour. Best live performance I've seen.
They started resurfacing works on Etihad last Sunday night. I think you'll find that the ground will be in much better condition by the weekend.Comment

You would be hard pressed to even recongise it as the same ground as last week, they have gone nuts on the relaying of the turf.

Not to take too much away from the subject of Docklands, but I have to say I was gobsmacked at the quality of the surface at Blacktown. When I first got there it was still daylight (so I wasn't suckered in by seductive mood lighting!) and I went down for a good gander at it, it looked absolutely excellent.I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his timeComment

The surface should be OK. When they replace turf they do it in huge chunks of well established grass, so don't think their will be too much movement.
On a side note, this topic reminds me of the day Luke 'Rhino' Sullivan hurt his knee at Waverley. When they replaced grass, they used to use the roll-up turf you would use on the front lawn at home.
No chance of that happening these days.Comment
