Good work Robbo.
I thought that both Div 1 and Div 2 GFs would be played at the MCG on AFL GF Day. 9am Div 2 and 10.50am for Div 1.
The AFL want the surface to be right for the Grand Final so only Div 1 final will be played at the g.
Remember last year both U16 games were moved to Visy Park due to poor weather.

Just heard their was a 15 min delay during the 2nd quarter of the Vic Country vs Vic Metro was due to the sprinkers coming on.

Fair enough.
We had torrential rain all day on the Friday with more forecast on the Saturday last year so it was understandable.
Just think it is sad that the AFL want to remove all football curtain raisers from the MCG on Grand Final Day. It was bad enough the TAC Cup got the arse, but if they scrub the U16s as well that will be really disappoining.
Won't be too long before there is nothing happening on the MCG until the big game. Go ask any person aged 20 or older who played at the MCG in a TAC Cup Grand Final, most to this day will tell you it was the highlight of their career.
