doona - can you post the two artilces in the shepp news about S Daniel getting the league coaching gig
Fantastic appointment by Eric Bottom, maybe we'll see a few more of the big name GVFL players keen to play under the man I believe one of the best coaches outside the AFL/VFL system.
Daniel to lead league's title defence
By Wes Cusworth
March 23 2006
Shepparton News
Seymour premiership coach Steve Daniel has been appointed to lead Goulburn Valley Football League's country championship title defence at Lavington in May.
In what is a coup for the league, Daniel has signed on to lead the region's best players into what is potentially new ground, as back-toback titles becomes the league's most immediate goal.
"I'm really looking forward to it," Daniel said yesterday at news of his appointment.
"I knew last year that Simon Eishold was looking not to do it anymore, so I was rapt to accept it when Eric Bott wrote to the club and spoke to me."
With the success of last year's campaign in the final year of Eishold's four-year tenure, Daniel is reticent to make too many changes to what is obviously a winning formula.
"There's no need to up-end it all," he said.
"There are good structures in place with interleague and I'll be seeking to keep most of them in place.
"I've been lucky enough to coach representative football before with the Southern Football League and I really enjoyed it."
Mindful of the lift in the standard of football that interleague provides, Daniel is eager to start putting the pieces of the puzzle together.
"We'll really get serious about a month before the carnival, but I'm already looking at assistant coaches and looking at players in my video collection," Daniel said.
"Everybody knows that the GVFL is the best standard of football outside of the VFL, so it's just great to be involved in this role."
The GVFL Worksafe Country Championship defence is on May 13 and 14.
THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE JOB
March 23 2006
Shepparton News
Steve Daniel's coaching achievements at VFL level and on the fringes of the AFL makes him the man for the moment according to Goulburn Valley Football League general manager Eric Bott.
"Steve's got a record of proven success, along with experience at the higher level," Bott said yesterday.
"We needed someone who would cope with pretty much anything that was thrown at him, whether it be a new or different experience, and we knew that Steve was that man.
"We looked at other blokes like Ken Sheldon, but he's just started a new job and couldn't commit to the position.
"We're very happy with who we've got for the job."
The league has benefited from a long line of quality leaders for its interleague squads, including Melbourne Football Club trio Des Campbell, David Williams and most recently successful coach Simon Eishold.
Daniel assumes the responsibility after Seymour's success of last year, along with time at Northern Bullants and working with Denis Pagan at Carlton.
"We had a few irons in the fire," Bott said.
"Steve will be looking to pick young, fit and strong blokes that want to play for the GVFL.
"He's a good fit for what we want in the GVFL."

When Jarrod Waite retires, it would be a great lift to the Benalla community for him to return home for a couple of seasons - the club shouldn't be punished by having to fork out four points.

Very good point.
It seems ridiculous to penalise a club who have been able to get an ex player back who has retired/been delisted from the AFL.

The GV can not seriously be thinking of lumping this on clubs less than a month out from the start of the season.
Surely this is something clubs need to know before they start their recruiting.
Seymour, Euroa, Benalla and MOOROOPNA (let's not forget the Cats; they've got more ex-AFL players than anyone) are gunna have some bluddy handy reserves sides in the month the GV does their trial.

Kyabram won the flag in 1996 after they defeated Tatura in a great game.
They probably should've won a few flags in the 90's. In 1993 they finished on top and went out of the finals in straight sets. For the first half of the 90's they were always in the finals and had some great players.
The gun goalkicker you are thinking of is Chris Stuhldreir (spelling?). He kicked over 100 goals a year consistently.
This is a team that cosby thought of for that last 15 years:
b. d.flemming d.argus r.white
h.b t.mcdonnell i.boyd a.gorman
c. t.elliot b.gugliotti p.newman
h.f b.campbell b.langley h.barnett
f. b.ryan c.stuhldrier m.portia
foll. d.lucas g.learmonth d.ryan
inter. p.white, c.atkins, j.finn, p.burnett
Kyabram have been down for a while and I recall someone suggesting a few years ago that they were heading the way of Tongala. I think they will bounce back. For one, their population is a lot more than Tongala's and they have a pretty good under-age and thirds system. They have won a few thirds flags in the last few years.

No left foot - Echuca would take any half quality players at this stage! And that would include Colbert. From what I have heard they have a better senior side than last year but have had a mass exodus of fringe players from the club. So their depth once again will be questioned. The only senior players who have left are Martin, Wilson, Murphy, Frost and Reyne. But they need more numbers in case of injuries.
When was the last time Echuca 2's missed the finals? This is the only way I can see to gauge depth. Depth shouldnt be an issue. My point with Colbert was if the tide is out on whether he is the real deal, maybe he wouldnt get a game in Echuca's midfield. Still 14 other spots he could play.
He would want to be good to get a guernsey on ball before Smith, Maddox, Durie and Butler.

Hope Colbert goes alright at Seymour though, as he seems to have a few fans.

For those interested the Euroa boys are having a hitout against North Hiedelberg tommorow at Euroa. Euroa choosing to run with a very very inexpiernced and young side. About 5 blokes under 18 years. The youngest been about 16.

who would that 16yo be? ivill? is stu thompson or chowantez playing?
im not quite sure where these rumors about Marty come from but i can tell you that its 100% bullcrap. I am fairly certain that on the interleague bye Marty will head back home for the week but apart from that he is not going anywhere.
He played last night against Congupna but went to hospital after copping a nasty hit, he will be fine however.
Congupna havent got a bad side actually, they have a few big boys and look sharp. We played a 6 qtr match with basically the 2s playing the last 3 qtrs, i think we were up by about 14 goals when i left at around the 4th qtr, still we were missing a heap of senior blokes.
What matches are on today?? ill be heading to watch the boys play against Hopper Crossing (Doutta Stars).

Missed a few I think Andrew Johnson was very handy ruck rover that played in the mid nineties and Ashley Brown who was full of grunt was a great Centre half back at the same time and when Andrew Trimby was up and running he would have covered Paul Burnett as would have Scott Waasdorp who kicked 5 on Garry Stevens in the '96' second semi.
all quality players OTM, like i said at the time, i missed a few players. those that you named are certainties.

Went down and had a look at the game yesterday and nth Heidleberg had a full squad except for about 3 players and euroa had a very inexperienced side in playing about 4 u/18 players from what i heard. Euroa had at least 12 senior players missing as some of them played in the first game from what i saw. I think Euroa would of been happy going down by 20 points to a full strength Nth Team. Nth looked good but they were not super impressive. Should be a top four side in the valley though. I think the game shows the difference in standard of the 2 leagues cos euroa only played with about 8 senior guys and the rest made up of guys who didnt even play seniors last year including u/18 players and they only lost by 20points. I would go out and say that if euroa were full strength they would of won by at least 10-15 goals.

Gee i love how GV people like to make themselves feel good bye making out like their league is just ions ahead of all others!

Name the 6 blokes they had out mate cos i thought there was only about 3 missing. Wasn't saying that the GV is a better league but the top 4 sides in the GV would be way above any DV side except for maybe heidleberg. Seymor, Euroa and Benalla would be a 5 goal better side then the top sides in most leagues as they have very strong lists. Good to see kingfooty that you take practice matches very seriously as most other clubs use it as a trial of younger players and to try a few things out. Real stuff starts in less than a month i would of thought.

Well Kingfooty, Ive seen to DVFL sides play in the last 2 weeks and they have been smashed by 15 goals and 20 goals by Seymour. can only comment on what i saw and they were along long way of GV football standard.
I heard nth heidelberg beat euroa by a few goals. euroa being this years favourite and all must have had a lot out because the gv is supposed to be the best league outside the vfl....is it not??????
Im not for one minute a Euroa fan, but by looking at the squads named on the club site, it appears the sides picked for each game consisted of about half senior players and half reserves with a few under 18's fielded in each.
Some senior names missing included King, Hammil, Shane Clayton, Gibson, Clarke, Lamaro.
Is the M. Hill named as unavailable for Euroa yesterday the great Marcus Hill of Ruffy fame??? I hope it is, great fella Hilly and are rapt to see him having a go again after disappointingly failing to lure him out to Yea last season.
Anyone catch the Shepp/Wang Rovers match yesty? If so can you tell me if young Marcus Webb (probably roved or small fwd) got a kick for the Rovers.

You cant blame the players wanting a good dollar, play on big excellent grounds and great weather conditions so hopefully the travelling will get to them sooner rather than later.

No update on Marcus Webb for you Doona2 as I didnt see the game, but was told Wang Rovers beat Shepp in both seniors and reserves. Seniors went down by about 10 goals and seconds got done by about 13 goals.
Not sure how strong Rovers will be this year, but they usually have a pretty competitive side. Anyway, I think it proves what BF posters have been suggesting for a while - it could be a long year for the Shepp Bears.

thats great they won but who honestly cares, have seen enough footy to realise the GV is streaks above DV footy and sure that may change at the next year or the year after but who cares.
I do no one thing seymour would want a decent hit out this week cause the 2 DVFL clubs its played the last two weeks have been pathetic... but as my above comments state...they proberly were not playing there best 21..

Colbert, Pilling and Reid were all battling the flu for the game also. Colbert was excellent with his use of the ball. Gordon carved at full forward. Another to impress was Jake Andeson untill hamstring tightness ended his day half way thru the third. Schottner had a hard day at the office being his first hit out but played quite well.

Hampshire played with Shepp Bears last year as their no. 2 ruckman, usually changing off the bench or sometimes in a forward pocket. He is a very big unit and would have the edge on most ruckmen in the Murray League. Will be a very good signing for Congupna if your mail is correct. He played for Shepp 2's on the weekend as he had to attend a wedding, but would normally play seniors if fit.
The new coach of Congupna is Travis Hampshire, but I don't know if they are related?

Nah it didnt get too out of hand, though the Nth Heidelberg guys didnt mind having a crack at two of our thirds kids (15 years, 16 years). The boys didnt seemed too phazed by it though.
Our under 18's that played were Matty Ivil, Brad Cunningham (only 15) and Klay Givoninni (tipping I didnt even get close with the spelling there!). They all did really well and the experience will only help them from here on.

East burwood have picked up a fair few, thanks to the elderly citizens who put there pension into their Poker Machines. They'd got Damien Yze this year who will be on a packet load, look for him at Full Forward, if his playing.
They have a strong link with Richmond, Sziller, Bourke, Rogers, Adam Slater all played last year and Broderick coached them. Had a few too many old blokes last year and I think would have picked up some pretty handy players.

Well said, this is why it is impossible to compare Leagues and why the argument will never be resolved. If you ask any players that go from a Country league to a Suburban league they will tell you how different the footy is. one thing will remain certain, there will always be cheats/sheepdogs no matter where u play.

There's actually a few clubs that play on small grounds in the GV, namely Mansfield (which is tiny), Mooroopna and Deakin Reserve in Shepparton. These are the exception to the rule though.
If you want to see some seriously big grounds, you should see some of the grounds in the Murray League like Cobram or Tocumwal. Massive.

If you want to see some seriously big grounds, you should see some of the grounds in the Murray League like Cobram or Tocumwal. Massive.deakin reserve would be one of our biggest grounds if it were in the dv. you should try and play at lalor, it is a postage stamp.

Kingfooty my point is you have posted on here and the edfl site and done nothing but pump your own tyre up mate, this site has seen and dealt with hit and run artsit like you before, we get on here to talk GV footy, if you want to talk gv footy thats fine but unless your as knowlegable as gv as u are on DV dont make up crap... as previously posted both leagues are different for all different reasons and cant be compared truely unless they have a true game against each other... practise matchs dont count, mean nothing, put 4 points up for grabs and see who comes to the top... then this arguement will be over.
you might want to duck down to see seymour play east burwood at east burwood, it will be interesting to see how they go on a smaller ground against quality opposition.no doubt ull post next week saying east burwood are **** as well.. at the end of the day you sound like a passionate supporter but talk footy not crap

Hampshire played with Shepp Bears last year as their no. 2 ruckman, usually changing off the bench or sometimes in a forward pocket. He is a very big unit and would have the edge on most ruckmen in the Murray League. Will be a very good signing for Congupna if your mail is correct. He played for Shepp 2's on the weekend as he had to attend a wedding, but would normally play seniors if fit.
The new coach of Congupna is Travis Hampshire, but I don't know if they are related?
Mark Hampshie has a chronic hamstring injury and only played a handfull of games with shepp last year.. will be a very good player in the murry leage. Big boy take's good grabs.. He actually has been signed with congupna since christmas. Travis hampshire (THE COACH) is his brother. The bloke you are talking about that played shepp two's on the weekend is Mark Harrop...

Yep, it looks like he's got his Hampshires and Harraps mixed up
Echucaboy you can expect a very tough hit out against Hoppers, they are a very well drilled side that has stuck together for a good 3 or 4 years, the list has barely changed over that period. Probably a few to watch out for would be Cammileri who plays at CHF, is getting on now but is an out and out gun and onballer Brad Roach thats if his still playing. I watched Douttas beat them by about 8 goals, however Douttas have a very very good side full of ex TAC players and VFL players mostly from the Cannons and Jets.
If Chris Tamburro has left i would be filthy, i doubt the club will let the transfer go through 1st attempt and i would like to think that it might only take a little chat and he will stay. He would be a huge loss to us and i would be amazed that the club could have let him slip so close to the season, suppose time will tell.
We have Shepp Bears this weekend, should be a good hitout ive been told Shepp will field a full strength side as we will besides a couple who have little nigglies.

from heidelberg and I often go up and see the finals of the gv (especially gf). great gf last year with a high standard.
Considering you follow Heidelberg i'm sure you have watched the last 2 DVFL grand finals. As you mentioned you watched last years GVFL grand final and said it was of a high standard. I don't particularly want start the argument over again but in your opinion which 2005 grand final was a better spectacle??? I know it is hard to compare the two leagues but it is quite clear in my mind that GVFL footy is much better to watch than DVFL footy. What are your thoughts??

I think the weather plays a pretty big part on the day. we dont get many great weather days down here come grand final day. there were some great grand finals during northcote parks reign though. I like watching dv footy because the grounds are smaller meaning your closer to the action, very physical and the crowd seem to get in to it a bit more. i like watching the skillfull players but i enjoy the physical parts of footy the most. i also enjoy watching fox footy flashbacks when we had the best era in football during the late 70s to the mid 80s which was very tough.

Bombers score win
March 28 2006
Kyabram Free Press
Kyabram's stocks got another pre-season boost when the Bombers put on an impressive display to beat Essendon District League side, Aberfeldie, in a practice match in Kyabram on Saturday.
The Bombers kicked 15.17 to beat the visitors 10.6 in a performance that pleased Bomber coach Mark Adamson.
"We controlled the game for about 70 per cent of it and if we had finished off around goal a bit better we would have had a bigger win.
"I was really happy with our game."
Adamson said the Bombers had one bad patch in the second term when Aberfeldie kicked five goals, three coming from the boot of their coach, former AFL player Simon Minton-Connnell, but were in control for most of the game after that.
Adamson helped set the Bombers rolling early with a superb game in defence and Paul Newman again provided a reliable target up forward with six goals to three quarter time before sitting out the last quarter with Adamson.
Recruits again did well for the Bombers.
Montmorency's James Taylor was impressive again in the centre and later at full forward where he kicked a couple of goals while Cobden recruit, Adam Courtney, did well on his wing.
Ryan Emmett, who has returned to the Bombers this season, also was lively both forward and back.
Josh Vick, who has also returned to the Bomber ranks this season, did a good job in containing the Aberfeldie coach Minton-Connell, for most of the game.
Another ex player returning Josh Finn, who returned from Darwin during the week, also got better as the game progressed.
Veteran Steve Davies also did some good work in defence in the ruck, but all players had a red hot go, according to the coach.
Given that regular senior players, skipper Paul Burnett, Oliver Boyd, Scott McCormack and Dion Ciavola and impressive recruit from the previous week James Martin were also missing for a variety of reasons, enhanced Kyabram's performance.
The Bombers haven't got a game this week, but will line-up against touted finals team Mooroopna in its final practice match the following weekend before the real stuff starts on the Easter weekend.

Good to see that the GV finally updated their website. The new layout is a vast improvement.

Aberfeldie will be a bottom 4 side in the EDFL this season so i wouldnt be getting to excited about Kys win. I suppose its a good way to measure the standard of both leagues, Ky are expected to finish bottom 3 or 4 from reports and Abers the same in the EDFL yet Ky won by 7 goals probably should have been 10 or 11. The excuse of Abers not fielding a full strength side is crap as well, i know Minton Connell likes to put his best side on the park when they play in Practise matches and seeing how he coaches he would have fired his blokes up for a good match.

Dunno where you get that Abers will be a bottom 4 side this year Tige. They were bottom 4 last year but have recruited well (Minton-Connell, Paul Hudson, and former Essendon draftee Shane Sheppard to name just 3) and will at least finish above Keilor Park, East Keilor, Craigieburn and Oak Park and may even push for finals.

Shane Sheppard never got drafted, i think he might have played a few Essendon VFL games but thats about it. Hudson is only playing games when Gippsland play on the Sunday, i think its around 6 or 7 for the year.
Abers havent won a game during the pre season and have been beaten easiy by Hoppers,Sunbury and Ky now. I watched them against Sunbury and i think they have the nucleas of being a good side, the team is basically a new 1 and will take time to gel so maybe 2006 is a season to soon for them to be contenders. By all reports Oak Park are looking ok and have won every match this pre season, they lost a few Turbo and Sheppard being the main few but they still look strong. I would think at this stage Abers would probably only have KP,EK and Craigiburn covered so a bottom 4 finish isnt out of the equastion.
Rumbalara isnt to flash.

The Rumba ground isnt that bad but its not great, there a few pot holes and the surface is uneven and its fairly small. The fascilities are really good eg changerooms and showers.
I would have thought the aboroginal guys would like to play on the big grounds where they can use there speed and skill. The lights where really good though.

Anyone heard about how the players are going who have started playing with new clubs?
Archard apparantly kicked 3 or 4 goals last week and had over 30 possies. Looks like he has settled in very nicely!
What about players from Tongala who left?
Giday rowey enjoyed your predictions on the league. I am up in NSW and enjoy any thing on the league. I'm an ex Euroa boy and have played a couple of seasons with Ash Thomson who i think has slipped in under the radar of a few. I notice most peoples concern is with their backline, with what i'm told is well founded. If you get a chance to see this bloke play i think you'll find he will be 1 of the best backs in the league. A bloody miser, very fit and i think will be able to take a key forward each week. Would love to see the pies excercise last years demons. But from what i remember from 15 years ago there's a lot who won't. LOL.

The chubby one should keep it. Over the past two years he has done a brilliant job taping Seymour games and putting highlights packages together for no financial gain, so it's good to see him get a little reward.
Shame to see Saad's mark pipped though. And if I'm not mistaken it was by kinfolk of a bluddy Seymour recruit in B Colbert!!!
Whats the story with Patty Rattray? Saw he played at Seymour n Saturday when Bendigo went to North Ballarat . . . I take it he's back at King's Park.
Lions all fired up
March 29 2006
Seymour Telegraph
The first term saw Seymour kick six goals to one with the Simon Gordon and Saad Saad double act again looking prominent.
Robbie Douglas was good in defence, while Brent Colbert looked handy in the midfield and across half forward.
Peter King played four good quarters in defence and Mark Pilling looked like he might be the answer at centre half forward.
Jeff Anderson was able to come up the ground and play away from his customary defensive post, and he further stretched the Northcote Park backs in booting three goals.
Shane Schottner played this week, allowing him to have a good workout and to continue to nurse Ben Bailey through the pre-season to be ready for round one.
Bernie Haberman and Joe Amad also worked well through the midfield, with more than 20 touches each.
Final scores: Seymour 23.11.149 d Northcote Park 8.8.56.
Goals; Seymour: Simon Gordon 5; Saad Saad 4; Mark Pilling and Jeff Anderson 3; Rod Van Reit, Jake Anderson, Bernie Haberman, Gerard Liddell, Ben Davey, Patty Rattray, Robbie Inness and Joe Amad.
Seymour travel to East Burwood for their final practice match before having a week off and then playing Euroa at Euroa on April 15.

Correct me if i'm wrong, i only seen the tail end of the segment but wasnt it only up against a goal umpire getting hit in the head and a kid falling on his head after a mark.?
If this is the case how could it not have won.?
thats right you only seen the tail end if you had off seen the kid falling on his head it was funny ********.... that footage did no real justice to the size of the grab on the day it was proberly the best mark of his all yr..cheers

I know it isn't being implemented in the KDL, so I imagine it probably won't come into the GV or junior leagues, either. Same goes for the 30 second shot clock rule..Too hard to police for local umpires..

I see that Echuca United have poached a few players off Echuca in the past few weeks. This seems to me a common occurance, with lower league clubs having more money than GVFL clubs to buy players. I find it very surprising that players would leave arguably the most powerful and strongest league outside the VFL to go and play with a much more lesser league such as the MFL. But then again money will do that to players! It really does show the real character of some people!

Generally speaking, the guys who drop down a league are those that we probably classify as fringe players and float between seniors and seconds throughout the year. As a result, it's not easy retaining these players as they can drop down a league and become a regular senior player and possibly earn a bit of cash as well.
You could argue that this is being disloyal, but I think the club also has some responsibility to talk to these 'fringe' guys about what chance they are of playing regular senior footy. If there's only a minimal chance, then potentially the club is only using them - which is no better or worse than being disloyal IMO.

I could be wrong, but I can't remember any rules that the AFL have implemented that weren't used at lower level leagues. Other than bench sizes and time on rules, they usually absorb the changes too. I suppose though if the KDFL or any league decides not to use a rule like the kick in rule, it'd be easy to keep it as it was.
I'm pretty sure the GVFL are taking on the rules, the kick in one anyway. The 30 second shot rule, that's just up to the umpires to hurry up the kicker anyway, I'm sure they can use it too.
Back to the first paragraph (to semi-contradict myself),I think the VFL are introducing a rule where a backwards kick isn't awarded a mark, like in the NAB Cup rules (outside of the forward 50).

What you've said happens at all levels of footy. I'm sure VFL clubs say the same thing about players that are on the cusp of senior selection but have made the decision to play GV, O&M for among other factors, better money, more recognition and enjoyment.
Blokes like Adam Reid, Jansz, Jackson, Sage (and the other 50 ex VFL players in the GV) could be on VFL lists and would probably play a dozen senior games each year but I reckon they got sick of being in one week and out the next. The blokes at Echuca are probably feeling the same way but it's just at another level down. Murray League clubs will feel the same sense of bewilderment Doozy Man feels if they lost players to Picola League of KDFL.

All country umpires groups have received the new rules on DVD's. They all use the same AFL rule book( obviously some supporters doubt it!!) so the new rules are in. The new 30 second rule for forwards doesn't really apply for most players as they kick it fairly quickly. The only player who is fairly slow is Perry Meka and he doesn't do bull ******** things like throw up grass so unless they tie up shoelaces they will be fine.

Went and watched Euroa play yesterday and was pretty disapointed with the way they went about it . Watching Clarke in the ruck for the first time, trying to block out all the things people have said about him on big footy [ hes soft and overated ]I am now after yesterday worried it might be true, but first game and i hope he will get better. Gilliland played onball and was i think Euroas best player, Hilton for those people that think he wont deliver was very good early acrooss halfback and looked in not bad shape . Sage was okay, Grainger and bamford did not kick a goal and i think grainger had 2 touches for the game. They looked half hearted and as if they didnt want to be out there. Janz played at CHB all day , and looked very slow and off the pace [ why he was left there i dont know can kick goals ] with Gibson , shelton, both Claytons and Lamaro out, and it was only a practice match im hoping the magpies will come good ??? Why do i care ? Because i have $1,000 dollars on them to win the B L O O D Y flag .

Doncaster defeated Mooropna by 9 pts, in a tight tussle.
Both sides clearly had players out, but some of the younger guys that played would have benefited for the experience.
From what I could see Mooroopna have got some good younger types, but to be honest don't know much about them. The 2 I know of...........Besty showed his usual touches of class, hopefully will miss Melbourne alot & return to the Sharks next season (is a big loss). Derek Hall, picked up plenty of it but did play a 'quarter back' role & was unaccountable at times. Still when he got it did used it quite well, typical experienced guile used ........... & was on the end of a huge bruising bump, but to his credit did get up immediately.
Still a good effort by a 2nd Division EFL outfit.
A guy many of you would be familar Luke Parker was valuable around the ground, with another from your way Nick Miller improving with each hitout.
The Sharks will be happy with the result given close to half of the team are only having their 2nd hit-out together.
Interesting alteration at half time that spilled over the fence but wasn't really that much in it in the end with a player from each side carded (Derek Hall & Josh Lumechesi)........... just a few boys just bonding. Although the actions of one spectator left a bit to be desired.

Having been to East Burwood Reserve a couple of times in the last 2 seasons, including 2004 division 2 finals, it isn't that small of a ground, while their are bigger grounds, there certainly are smaller ones & i'd say the ground size is normal, definently not small as your saying.
