Groundbreaking moment...

This has made COVID completely worthwhile.

The re-laid turf makes the Gabba look more like Marvel Stadium than the MCG, ie. shithouse.

At least it looks like it's outside the boundary line and not on the playing field.

A great moment in AFL history. Congratulations to all the hard working staff that pull it off.

I don't like injuries but I will laugh if someone hurts themself on that section of turf.

It's as if it's actually the MCG now. Great stuff.

I’m aware that this appears to be a marketing stunt, but I just feel this is really tacky.

Most moronic exercise in year covid.

Imagine driving that truck. Skinny bit of grass that sits out of play.

Was there a ribbon cutting ceremony? I thought they could have Gil out there with the novelty size scissors to make the chop and take first step on to the patch mumbling something about it feeling like home.

Man, every time I think the AFL is scrapping the bottom of the barrel.... boom!!! Next level achieved.

Most pointless decision the afl has ever made.

Waste of money for absolutely nothing.

And by the time Australia and India play their first odi in a months or so time, most will have forgotten about it even happening.

Geelong should remove the A & B from the GABBA stadium signage and replace them with M & H to make it GMHBA Sttadium

Is that what our stadium is called these days? Thats terrible.

 

[Dank Academy]

Honestly, what kind of response were they thinking this would get?!

 

[Xtreme]

The AFL have done some really dumb things over the last 10 years

But this tops the lot.

 

[sobrave]

They should fly up some MCG hot chips and spread them all over the field of play for the seagulls to feast

 

[juss]

Surely a big psychological boost for the Tigers now. They're practically back home.

 

[LSRU]

What a massive steaming pile of wank

Why? it's a local business supporting the cats, have to love that

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Wowee.. so its not even on the playing surface?

Did they only figure out when it got there that you can't just roll out turf and play on it straight after?

Imagine if someone rolls an ankle on that piece of turf when it slides out from under them.

This is honestly the stupidest thing I've ever seen from a corporate entity. Let alone from the AFL.

Victorian stewardship of this sport has always been embarassing but this really takes the cake.
