Nah, just women and children.

Didn't realize Harry Novillo and Archie Thompson played the sport?

Shouldn't you be too busy stabbing Victory fans and beating up your own players to lay into opposition players? :-k

Come up for a beer, and find out. ;)

Can I join in too?

Mate of mine read this, he's a greens keeper and did his apprenticeship at optus oval in the late 90s. Having the afl game the night before and then taking 3mm off will make the roll of the ball inconsistant especially with rain. They would be better to take at least 5mm off but he would think that the afl have insisted they can only take the amount off that fits a-league requirements. He said it would 100% detract from the game. He also said if they paint over the ads and then take the length off you shouldn't see it but again they won't they will mow then paint over the ads making it look shit.


Interesting, thanks for providing a qualified opinion, even if it is bad news!


Bit of a nothing story I feel. How quickly does Adelaide Oval's grass grow at this time of year? That is what the AFL will be looking at because they will want it at 28mm each and every week. For the few A-League games there are each year there they unfortunately don't have much of a bark in this fight. AFL brings in the dollars each week so in my opinion they get the say in these (trivial) matters
