Scharenberg is a better player than McKenzie IMO. Dunno why Buckley never rated him.

Is there anyone you don't rate higher than McKenzie?

I've worked it out - the Crows are clearly targeting bald people - Nicks, Smart, Ricciuto and now Olsen. It's so they'll have no hair to pull out when things go pear shaped in 2021.

The site will just be bought by the same mob doing the brompton development probably.

Hallowed turf m8!

That's just the VFLs way of saying "we own this competition, and the MCG will host the grand final for all time, the end." without actually saying it.

I just dont get why they dont take over Thebarton Oval

haha, are you serious? Some poetic licence maybe, but essentially true... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-03/brewery-job-losses-in-adelaide-and-brisbane/10333200

Can we take some AO turf with us to the Gabba then? Hell, why doesn't this become a thing and the two teams in the GF transplant turf from the home ground to each goal square.

Actually, lets just transplant the whole MCG into the Gabba.

 

[malcheski]

How is it even hallowed? It's 3 year old turf - they replanted the whole thing in 2017 after they had to dig it up to find Ted and Betts

 

[Doctor Feel]

IT'S SOME ****ING GRASS

The thousands of dollars and hours of time put into this is a ****ing joke.

BOTH TEAMS THAT PLAY IN THE GF MAY NOT EVEN BE VICTORIAN

The world's most overrated stadium in the worlds most overrated city.

Literally a huge concrete bowl.

Oooh, so edgy.

Before that the MCG turf was completely replaced when they leveled the playing surface prior to the 2000 Sydney Olympics

Not to mention that the driver will need a Covid exemption to do it!

Hardly 'essential services'.

The PM can't enter QLD for a fortnight as he has been to Sydney, but this can?!

And again in 2005 for the Comm Games in '06

I mean, its a decent footy stadium for sure.

As far as cricket grounds go it comes in a distant third behind Adelaide Oval and the SCG.

and just think some person at AFL probably lost their job for all this to happen.

absolutely farcical.

You can bet if there's a Port v Brisbane gf we will get just as many mentions about the grass as the competing teams. They'll probably include the grass in the parade

Agree. What and incredible waste of money and resources in a year where the league as a whole lost such a significant sum of money.

Years ago I worked with a young lady whose dad was part of the Brown ministry when the Libs came to power after the State Bank disaster. Therefore he was on Team Brown and the hatred she espoused about Team Olsen was quite remarkable - hell they were on the same side. However it didn’t take long before the leader of Team Olsen decided to shaft Team Brown and take over the State.
You could see it happening
My memory is still a bit dim but I think Team Olsen won the next election with a substantially reduced seat count (I think the Labor opposition would have had trouble fielding a cricket team when Team Brown won that State Bank election). By the next election the Libs were back in opposition - all thanks the J Olsen!

excellent point

Still think the Aquatic Centre is where they want to be.

If they want to be close to water, they might as well stay where they are.
