Let's hold off renewing our memberships next year until the club get serious and review the cause for so many injuries for so long. This has gone too far and is too serious for them to keep on ignoring it anymore. Whu should we pay year after year to look after a sick bay list.Jamie Elliott is determined to continue his career in black and white stripes despite injury concerns that Nathan Buckley concedes have him playing in “survival mode”.
Collingwood’s continued injury crisis will see the Pies play Gold Coast despite almost half of their players injured and unavailable.
Despite calls for a full blown review the Pies insist there are no issues with their Holden Centre surface and have no plans for a formal investigation over and above end-of-year assessments.

Beams is aiming to play the last round of VFL
Did an inspection of it last year and its apparantely a better ground than most. So not the ground.
Here is a history of Olympic Park, including early uses and what happended there up to and including the recent Glasshouse development:
Olympic Park - Melbourne & Olympic Parks
Olympic Park is an important feature of Melbourne's sporting culture. Nestled between the Yarra River and Melbourne Park, it has enjoyed a strong connection to the people of Melbourne since the city's foundation and has seen a cavalcade of champions across several sports. Bound by Nature Prior...mopt.com.au
(Looks like John Wren had some eary involvement too - we are cursed!)

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?
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 since2014/15?2012/2013
The soil in that area is silty clay, same as Vic Park.
Focusing on sub grade is a red herring imo it’s predicated on the assumption that insitu soil is “soft”. With the exception of problematic soils throughout melbourne houses are typically founded on soil, generally at 600 deep there’s sufficient bearing capacity for a second story. So insitu soil isn’t “soft”.
Rather I’d be investigating the drainage, with modern playing surfaces there’s a significant buildup over the natural ground which is graded to allow efficient drainage. There is a relationship between soil strength and moisture conditioning. So is the drainage too efficient and not enough moisture retained in the soil medium.
It should be independent this time. Not driven from within.
Curious that the author finishes with a point about “Whilst there is no ‘children’s playground’ “ ... are there planning recommendations around such things for such sites? Do we need one if those?
How come under mm we never had these injuries ...
