Does anyone have a scale diagram of all the current AFL grounds? It would be good to see an overlay of the size and shape of each ground on the same scale?
If someone has the info or could draw it up, this thread would make a great reference site for ground comparisons.

Saw the gig at Rod Laver last night. Alice Cooper and band were great, he now has three lead guitarist in his arsenal and it works a treat. The sound was very loud and clear. He played the hits and had key elements of his long running...
It seems to be a common theme to denounce Australians as generally racist. However I don’t believe that we are worse than others and in fact will argue that we are a lot more tolerant than most.
One thing that often gets misunderstood is the Aussies sense of humour. It is common to take the...
What do you think, have I got it right?

SANFL – Hang on, let’s work this out together so we can get a win-win for all of SA footy
Port – * you, we are going alone
SANFL – No * you, we will create a...

So the question has to be asked, what is happening to Danger? He is having less and less influence each week?
Is he injured, if so why is he playing?
If he is not injured, is he not fit, have teams worked him out, has he played his best footy?
Is being the Co-captain too much?
Is he spending...
Surely Richmond are the scumiest team in the competition? Bad haircuts, bad tattoos and disgusting thugary, and that is just the team. Their supporters are even worse. They even make Collingwood look good.
What a disgraceful culture.

Did anyone see Damian Barrett last night on the Footy Show carrying on about the Mumford Petrenko clash? Now he has released an article on AFL.com.au.
Is the whinge justified? Was Petrenko a fool for initiating the clash? Or is this another storm in a Teacup...
I’m not a fan of Government regulation or controls as I believe everyone has the right to chose their own path and accept the consequences. The way we have turned into a Nanny state with no recourse such as a Bill of Rights is a tragedy.
I have to say that gambling adds really annoy me, but my...
Why all of a sudden is the Crows training base considered a White Elephant? It was my understanding that when completed the Westpac Centre was the games best training facility.
Now it appears that since Caroline Wilson has labeled it a White Elephant, I see fellow posters are following her...
