Been a while since I have seen mud at a VFL match, with very dry winters in the last couple of years... Im not complaining, as I like to see footy played in varying conditions.
Werribees centre was a real glue-pot today... What were the other grounds like this week?
Mud?
Look no further than the QEO in Bendigo. There's a muddy glue pot in the centre and dead patches of grass on other parts of the ground.
Maybe that marketing gimmick called the Bendigo Bombers should build their own ground - they can't even train on QEO anymore cos the council kicked them off!
Williamstown was very slipppery in the centre, as the ground was very hard before the rain came.
The Bendigo ground is very ordinary, it seemed like they watered the centre yesterday because of how hard it would have been. I saw footage of a game between Bendigo and Williamstown late last season and the whole ground was just mud.
Just thought I'd add that the Franskton ground is in very good nick now, after actually managing the process well.
With some luck it shouyld hold up for the whole year, and from what I've seen of the other groungs it is probably in the best condition of any ground other than Geelong.
