How many chances do you think you get? Swans are probably a bit different as their academy gives them unfair access to regular talent, but if we'd missed our shot in 2006, it would have been 24 years between 94 and 2018 flags.

Longmire has made the finals 12 out of 14 years, topped the ladder on three occasions, made 5 grand finals and won one premiership. That's a phenomenal record.
Let's say the G is 165m X 100m that's an oval area of 51800m squaredIsn’t the SCG size thing no longer an issue since they have been extending it?
It’s ‘only’ five metres shorter and thinner than the MCG.
From the SCG to Kardinia Park — do ground sizes contribute to the end result in AFL games?
From big to small and everything in between, the size of an AFL ground impacts the way the game is played and how teams win — right? Well, it's not that simple, writes Cody Atkinson and Sean Lawson.www.abc.net.au
Scg 5m less
160x95 area of 47800
5000 m squared diff is about 1.2 acres or 5 Olympic sized pools.
All of it around the circumference of the ground. It's not insignificant

I think your calculations are a bit off. It's a lot less than that. If it was a rectangle it would be 16500m2 vs 15200m2. So even less being an oval.

Every time I see the SCG and games there I swear the 50m line is being crept closer and closer to the goals.
May just be me being old and remembering when it genuinely wasn’t 50m, but I am unconvinced it is actually 50m nowadays.

Do the math mate. There's an equation for oval shapes. Pie X radius width X radius length.
165x100x3.142. 51800
160x95x 3.412. 47800
That's 5000 m squared.

If the eliptical shape is 5m smaller in width and length it equats to a significant amount of grass in meters squared. The point is obvious.

I remember in the 90s The scg 50 touched the centre square then you looked at Subi and the gap between the 50m line and the square was huge

Is Horse a carrot coach or a stick
Area of an ellipse is = πab where a,b are the length of the semi major, semi minor axis, so....
MCG = π((160/2)*(141/2)) = abt 17,700m2
SCG = π((156/2)*(136/2)) = abt 16,500m2
So a difference of abt 1,200m2, which equates to 33m2 per player which is about roughly a 6x6m square

It's basically aflx in Sydney not a real footy ground

If everyone actually read the article posted.
Has the actual dimensions and areas.
Also of interest is the broadcast cameras at the SCG are in different locations so the optics look different o. Telecast

You are multiplying, basically, the major/minor DIAMETERS, you need to only use the RADIUS, IE half the diameter.
Check it against a circle which is πr^2 (π*(160/2)^2) = 20,000m2
Math checks out
That's a huge difference that's like a 22 metre strip 50 metres long

The process has been ridiculously drawn out.
It reminds me of the lebron “decision” with all the build up. It’s like we are waiting to make a big announcement and presentation. Just get on with it already.
If it’s just one of the three mentioned then I’m not sure what the delay is.

but the data is miles off the mark. also so what?
well I checked because its a slow Sunday. Also I am sure neither are perfectly eliptical. Deeper pockets etc. etc
MCG 160 x 141
SCG 155.5 x 136
Don after another long day of not hiring a coach
