You mean at training? Our surface is 10 x worse.Hurt his foot at that Perth stadium!
Yes it does. Or is your head still in the sand.
Under 18s are going to be told to do everything to avoid drafted by collingwood because of their history of mismanagement.
The same as you have on the Perth stadium. Hear say.based on WHAT evidence do u say that?
Did an inspection of it last year and its apparantely a better ground than most. So not the ground.
Youre joking arent you, we replaced him with his right-hand man. Different face, same modus operandi
Who did? The club? Lol.
Isn't the sub base "fill" from the tunnels?

What do you mean by ‘sub base’? The oval is largely on the site of the old Olympic Park athletics track and field ground. It was built for the Olympic Games in 1956. I’m sure the club ripped up, relaid and realigned the surface, but would that get down to the sub base? I’m not actually sure what is meant by that.
I’ve posted on this before, but later this afternoon I will do some research about what was there before 1956 (a cycling track/velodrome I think). But we are getting back into the mists of time here, and I’m not sure it will help.
Can only mean one thing, Bucks followed the rules of the review last year but this year he has done it his way againLike how the Review was suppose to turn around. We nearly Stole a Flag last season but one back to where we where Pre-Review.
So did not have huge Success
Genuinely curious if a team in history has ever been decimated as much as we have been right now.
It should be independent this time. Not driven from within.Surely there's going to be another full blown review done on the entire fitness program and injury management processes as well as all the personnel in these critical areas at seasons end?Totally unacceptable with what's going on with our injury rates. Yes all clubs get injuries but why are ours so great in numbers and repetitive since 2014/15?
I may be missing something, but the surface of the oval appears to have always been - dirt, grass, etc.
I dont know the geology of this area on the north bank of the Yarra River, and other posters might. That could be an issue.
Otherwise it seems inconceivable to me that the club, or our predecessors, would dig up the surface to put down a hard layer beneath. The oval is not sited on top of a carpark or a basement. When the old OP buildings were pulled down - mid-2000s - surely the practice then was to remove the building rubble (and any other nasties) from the site, and not bury the stuff or use it as fill?
I got an email from the club headed by “... help us raise $1,000,000” and I thought well thank God they’re finally ripping up that ******* training oval.I think its bigger than sacking the fitness staff. We've already done that twice in the last 5 or 6 years.
Some serious investigation has to be on the ground. I wasnt a believer of the theory but there are too many soft tissue and stress injuries for it not to be a factor.
I hope they rip it up and do preseason at Vic park.
2011 wasn't that long ago.How come under mm we never had these injuries get rid of the fitness gurus down at Collingwood
Exacerbated by a hard training surface, the real culprit isn't always in plain sightHurt his foot at that Perth stadium!
