Telstra Dome Surface

[Devil Fish]

Well we all know that the Telstra Dome surface is unsatisfactory & has been that way forever. And the reason why it has never been rectified? Because Ian Collins is living in a Utopia & as per usual, never wants to admit there is a problem. His philosophy is, why fix a problem that doesn't exist! Ignore it, & it will go away. He also utilised this philosophy when he was with the AFL & the tribunal was a shambles.
Just remember, Collo means anus in Greek.

I personally don't see a problem with the gound and I think it is more to do with media speculation and players jumping on the band wagon..

Glad you agree.

I don't know how hard it is underfoot, but you watch the replays of even 10 years ago and some of the mud heaps they played on and you'll realise how good they get it today. Ok so they slip a bit, big deal. The hardness is the real concern but what can they do? Put 2 feet of sponge and rubber under the grass?

 

[shintemaster]

Absolutely, the alleged hardness is the biggest problem. Players falling on their ass isn't a big issue. The ground is the same for both teams obviously. But preventing injuries and soreness is and should be a priority. Perhaps a case for the AFLPA instead of just negotiating their pay rises!

Watching the game v Eagles 5-6 players were slipping and sliding in the first 5 mins
These guys are slipping and landing on a rock hard surface. I'd rather slip in mud.
