We are talking width not length

Hear that sound? Someone's backing the truck up!!!
You said every game. Not finals not grand finals. Every game!
If they don't know how to use it, then does either really matter?

I think I'll take the word of the club (WCE) and my own eyes to see what they've done over Facebook pics, but you're entitled to your own opinion.

It's not just that. There isn't 4m either side if the boundary line to accommodate the extra width needed. If you think there is then you're deluded!!!

As i've explained to you already, the boundary line now goes almost right up to the fence in some places, which took up the extra 4 metres of the ground that was used up by the astro turfed area where the players used to get rub downs etc near the bench. Its not a very safe situation to be playing on and i dont think you'll see many games being played there because of it, but theyve done it and the club gave the reasons as to try to get as close to the new stadium as possible.
If you think the club is deluded feel free to tell them coz i'm sure they'll value your well informed opinion from facebook pics over their own experience of actually being there and working on the ground every day.

i dont think you follow, you would need an extra 8m to match the width at perth stadium
from the previous boundary line to the fence, there is not 8m to make up. even if you take into account the astro turf near the dug out. you would be lucky to find 6m all up.
there just isnt 8m, without ripping out the fencing area on the southern side and re-leveling the concrete
i walked it literally a month or two ago, once subi was closed off.

As i said, it may not be exact, but its been altered to be as close as possible to try and get them more used to the dimensions than the previous set up at subi. This came straight from the club from ex players who now work for the club. I didnt make it up myself. You may not agree with them but thats what I was told so i passed it on for those that were interested.

Games been moved to Lathlain over fear boundary is too close to the fence now.
So will play at Lathlain which is same dimensions as the new stadium

Just a good news story, warmed the cockles of my heart, lets hope they both get a good run with injury.
Seeing the Rioli clan on TV took me back to a time when Sebastian came down to South Freo, & 35 years on, its still happening ...

Ryan looked dangerous, thats for sure. My fear is that a good defender could completely shut him down because his predictable run and jump game may get unstuck. But with time, he's going to be a star.
Close family the Riolis:

West Coast forward Willie Rioli has revealed close mentoring from premiership cousins Cyril and Daniel has been pivotal to his explosive debut season.
A hamstring injury will prevent Cyril from playing against West Coast at Etihad Stadium on Sunday, while Daniel returned from a foot injury in the VFL last weekend.
But the pair have been in constant contact with Willie and he said their advice had been invaluable.
“I’m pretty lucky to have Daniel and Cyril at the top level,” Rioli said.
“I speak to them all the time and I get messages from them every week. They tell me to apply pressure to the game, bring energy to the group and then the goals will come.
“We really rely on each other to let us know how we go defensively. We don’t watch the good things we do.
“It’s more the stuff off the ball that we base our game on.
“Daniel sent me a message last week to congratulate me and he said I’d played well.
How you travelling, listing?

Small forward averages less than a goal and less than 2 tackles amd you think it's worth bumping this thread.
Yep, premature evaluation.

Oh wow
And going on your logic, Nic Nat is a complete failure.
Oh wow...the old "unless you get 35 posessions, you don't count". We had one of those, he got drop kicked out the club last year.
And going on your logic, Nic Nat is a complete failure.

Ryan was killing it before getting injured, the media and analysts agreed too and rightly so. For all those that doubted my prediction and these guys, suck it!
Just like my Tim Kelly prediction which everyone scoffed at and he's smashing it.

Suck what? The fact you still don't know what 'breakout year' means? The media agreed? Oh cool, you simply must be right if the media agrees. Wonder if the media laughs at you making a new thread on the main board every 2 hours.

twice in successive weeks Rioli has given away needless 50m penalties which have been blatantly reckless and stupid. He cost his team a goal today and one last week, and the knee in the back was darn right dirty and unwarranted. Disgraceful behaviour.
Good way to go about tarnishing your reputation and hard work early on in your career after such a promising start.
Pathetic.
