What was the reason for the Reds scoring 2.2.14?

[Broken]

Just saw the score of the Reds match on the weekend, were the conditions pretty ordinary? Could someone please give a brief rundown of the game?

the ground was literally a bath of mud, an absolute disgrace. the game in no way resembled australian rules football. an umpire with any balls would have abandoned the game

I concur completely. You have wet days, you have muddy days, but what we had to endure on Saturday was a bloody disgrace. Last time we met, at Punt Road on a damp, but okay day, the Seniors and Reserves won by 67 and 98 points respectively. Only a ground like this would make the results turn around so dramatically.
Get one of the Amateur officials to go and have a look at the state of it this week I say.

Yep, know exactly what you mean. I was coaching on the bottom oval, which was only slightly better than the top - you could see about 10 blades of grass by the end of the match. Felt for your seniors, having to play Aquinas on a ground like that, after a match had already been played, and on a fairly big day for their club (an Aquinas bloke played his 300th)

Sounds like they watered down the ground (plus the rain) to get the win for the guy playing his 300th.
