This is why every side should be given the chance to practice on the MCG at least half a dozen times a year, including at least once in August. One of the ways the AFL still is slanted in favour of the Vic. sides (and that's how they like it).Sitting behind the goals and watching the Hawks players use the swirling breeze perfectly when kicking for goal also highlighted it, I still remember Suckling kicking a ball from 40, sitting it up to the left of the goal face and allowing the swirling breeze to bring it back. They knew things we didn't and it hurt us.
