Their ground is the same dimensions as the G. It's no longer a factor as far as I'm concerned.

I know everybody hates a pedant, but I just had to post this;)

  • Field of play dimensions will be 165m along the east-west axis and 130m on the north-south axis. This is slightly shorter than Domain Stadium (Subiaco Oval) but aligned with the MCG, which is 160m x 141m.

Convinent the AFL suddenly have a new interpretation on umpire contact that see's Dusty just get a fine. They'd decided that a month ago though...
If I was in the Geelong, GC or Carlton camp I would be demanding a replay of the games their players were suspended. Threaten legal action if required. Dusty and Robbie Gray get off and SPP did not even get cited. Total inconsistencies.

Watching this, Rance goes all grabby grabby tug tug on Dangers old fella. Somehow, the AFL won't demand an investigation into this which is a joke...SPP got three weeks for less that this :)

From memory I'm pretty sure Rance has previous form when it comes to doing this.

Im struggling to understand this at all.

Maybe the Port posters that lurk around here can offer us some #portlogic as to why SPP didnt even get cited.

MCG field size = 176m x 146m

Optus Oval (Perth) = 165m x 130m
This may be controversial but here goes.

If the AFL GF is going to be held at the MCG for the next several decades why dont the AFL give the highest placed team the best advantage by having the ground dimensions the same as their home ground.

So on GF day last year, the MCG would have been the same dimensions as AO.

Adelaide Oval at 124m width would be funny. Could probably fit another 10K people into the stadium

Why, when we just rebuilt AO didn’t we make the same ******* size as the MCG?

I swear the people running the show here in Adelaide have a combined IQ of about a dozen. Morons
