It’s a bog today. Granted I’m not there but it looks a disgrace on screen. Not fit for finals footy. Huge expanses of mud with big pools of surface water.

East Burwood gets dug up on Monday for the new surface and drainage. Amazingly the ground still looks in good nick.

Looks like they started to resurface the ground and then remembered the GF still had to be played.

Looks like the old Scoresby ground, in peak condition.

Shocking conditions. Not Boronia fault they can’t control the weather and they do a great job hosting but I always found Tormore lacks atmosphere as a gf venue. Maybe it’s too big but I think East Burwood is a great venue for finals. The perfect size
Definitely suits Mitcham as Park Orchards don’t seem to like tough wet weather footy.

There’ll likely be a reshuffle next year if Boronia is in D1.
D3 or D4 will probably get lumped with Tormore.
Hopefully whenever the long awaited redevelopment at Tormore happens they do the surface too.

Great effort to go back to back. A few volunteers will be seedy tomorrow.

Not too seedy, they have to get Walker Park up and ready for business tomorrow.

4 flags for Neil Winterton as coach, clearly done an immense job.

I am sure he has done a fantastic job but it takes far more than a coach to have a run of success like they have had, I would bet they’ve got it right from the top down, the coach gets the plaudits but they never succeed without the right people around them.

Well done Mitcham a lot of work has gone into the turn around of the club at junior & senior level.
Enjoy old mate G, I hope a Nut hasn’t dropped in on the bandwagon. Don’t spend too much time sweeping out the best car park in Premier.

Thank you every one for your kind words about Mitcham.One of my greatest days at the club in my 25 years there.As many know we were in the top division (D1 then in 2006 and lost 23 games in a row and ended up in D3 and if we had not of beaten Templestowe last game we had of gone to D4)A lot of hard work to rebuild the club and the support off field was awesome when we were down and most stayed.Matt McCubbin has been president for the last 15 years approx and deserves a lot of credit for this but as he says we are a team off field.Tonight I am not there at the club as to old for celebrations but will be there at 7AM tomorrow as a volunteer and we will hopefully prove to all that the MCG of the East is a great venue for finals football.Ground in pretty good condition at 11.30AM this morning.Remember Cliff no car parking in the ground,and a 2 storey car park behind the grandstand and do not bring your dog and please say hello.lol.Well done Mitcham a lot of work has gone into the turn around of the club at junior & senior level.

Knocking off the almost unbackable favourite in the GF two years in a row is very impressive. Might struggle to back it up in Premier but they've got the job done in September twice in a row now, can't say they don't deserve the opportunity.

East Burwood is a great venue for finals. The EFNL can't be bothered (too cheap) with temp fencing to stop people getting in for free.

Where would they be getting in for free? There were multiple people on all the entrances and exits to any final I've been there for.

Exactly, we've had people trying to scale the cricket net fence. Come through the Cycling track, North Oval, jump the fence behind the old scoreboard, and many more places with walk-through access. What transpires is aggressive idiots trying to save a few dollars. We know all the places the minority try to sneak in and those people are always greeted with a friendly smile. 98% pay, 1% walk away refusing to pay and 1% want a fight.
