Keep them gambling ads coming thick and fast... it's working.
Massive pink elephant.

Points from forward half is a key premiership indicator? Wouldn't like 99% of all points for all teams be scored from the forward half?

It refers to where you got possession of the ball. Scores from back half is when you transition from the back half to a score. This is reverse where you get possession in your front half and convert that to a score.

I wonder how it is calculated.

Count the amount of times a team takes possession of a loose ball in their forward 50.

It's bad but it's not bad but it's bad.

Had a discussion in the Perth Stadium thread about it. I commented that there were some teething issues at AO, it was a bit hard at first, but different grass was the main concern, but said- they rolled the dirt pretty hard to lazer level it before they laid down the turf and had to use a lot of sand those first couple of months of 2013-14 cricket season to get it right. Because of better drainage work, they lay gravel and sand before they put the brown soil down so that made the ground harder post development compared to pre development.

WA based poster wedgetail replied with;
This is the problem with Burswood - it drains too well. It has successive layers of sand, fine ballast then coarse ballast on top of sloped impenetrable roadbase with dozens of 100mm poly drainage culverts from the pitch box to the boundary. It doesn't hold ANY water regardless of how much it gets, and the sand never plumps up in the rain.

Despite all the comments above - can't be that hard surely

Looks like the Crows are off to the Parklands

THE Crows have been given the green light to press ahead with plans to redevelop the ageing Adelaide Aquatic Centre into its new, $60 million headquarters.
Adelaide City Council last night gave the AFL side permission to start designing concept plans for the North Adelaide site for its training and administration complex.

The council will now provide the club with guidelines it has to meet before plans are lodged, which include community benefit, engagement, impact on parklands and value for money.

Council chief executive Mark Goldstone said those guidelines were strict and elected members could knock back any plan, should it not comply with them.

“In my discussions with the Adelaide Football Club, I have also made it clear that there will be non-negotiables surrounding any proposal,” Mr Goldstone told the meeting.

“Firstly, no licensed facility in the parklands, no increase in footprint beyond the size of the current facility and no significant change to the public’s access.”

******* crows fingers in it

I think it's perfect for the Crows just another completely soulless HQ.

They'll never accept that criteria anyway.

Good on them. Who can deny that they aren't entitled to a new HQ built on public land with public money.

Here I was thinking they were discouraging homeless people from camping in the parklands

Will the Camry Crows' new Parklands home be called Warren and what is going to become of the White Elephant Centre at West (formerly West Lakes)?

There will be a s**t fight about this. This is probably the biggest demand by crows supporters on their club to get a facility. Surely the council wont be able to stop them setting up the equivalent of the Port club that can hold a few hundred people there to buy a meal and drink.

They should re nickname them to the wanderers.

 

[Magus]

It's not like they're going to have proper clubrooms or anything. It'll be another Shed with some offices attached.

Good luck to them. There's at least two guys on their board that would be against the idea.

I don't think they actually want a facility for members that's all supporter talk.

So let me get this straight

On top of the FREE rent they got at West Lakes to now a $20M grant to build their new base....but they are still referring us as the handout club?

They could apply for a temporary liquor license each week there's a game on

Surely they would be no objection to this

In a public park in North Adelaide? Unlikely

It was a sarcastic reference to the GDV



But yes, you are correct
