Roast Media Shakes Head, Part 8

The MCG is a shit hole lol, I’m convinced victorians only rate it because their only yardstick is the even shittier Marvel stadium

Nah, it stands to reason that the best stadium in the sporting capital of the known universe is by default the best stadium in the world.

Victorians rate it because it's in Victoria. Thats it.

 

[Papa G]

The entire corruption and bias of this shitty league is encapsulated by the Melbourne Cricket Ground. It is the epicentre of and symbol of all the is wrong with the AFL. Burn it to the ****ing ground.

 

[Lagooner]

The MCG has two things going for it. One is location and the other is atmosphere, but that only comes into play when you hit that critical mass of around 60-70,000 people going nuts. There’s no denying the vibe of its heaving nuffy orgy.

The flipside of course is that below this threshold it feels cold, barren and exposed depending on where you are. Half the seats get wet.

It’s also ugly AF.

As a cricket ground, and after all, it is the Melbourne Cricket Ground, it's a shithole. At best it comes in 3rd in Australia, behind the Adelaide Oval and SCG. Even Shane Warne as parochial a Victorian as you'd find, admitted Adelaide Oval was his favourite ground.

They’ve already done it themselves. By the time the new redevelopment is finished the oldest part of the stadium will be barely 25 years old.

The bias and corruption will persevere until all of us interstaters have finally had enough and formed a rebel league.

 

[TazD]

If Papa G doesn't Allah Ackbar himself at the MCG within the next 10 years I'll be shocked.

I’d argue it’s primarily a football ground despite the name but I agree and would probably rank it last out of all the major grounds tbh.

Cricket is all about what’s happening in the middle and between the size of the field and the shallow banking of the lower tier (from which all the higher tiers are offset) you as a spectator are absolutely miles from the action. It’s garbage.

Adelaide Oval
SCG
Gabba

MCG

Not even joking.

 

[Jojay]

Nah, it stands to reason that the best stadium in the sporting capital of the known universe is by default the best stadium in the world.

Encapsulated by the fact this league had to have a patch of their hallowed turf transplanted to the gabba during the covid gf. What a fckn wank!

 

[PowerLil]

The walk from Fed Square to the G is the best.

Stumbled across this Talking Finals..... what an uninteresting panel.... and obviously will be a Victorian fapfest.

I really wanted to go to a Boxing Day Test first day of an Ashes Test and quite a few years ago did do that.

Verdict over rated.

How bad is it lol

I reckon he thought cothchin was trying to get frisky with him when he was brushing up against him

 

[all seeing eye]

Big budget for this show, panel looks like they have been dragged out from some cheap op shop.

 

[Janey]

If we needed proof that people at the club read BF, note that they refer to us being “gallant” in our losses on the weekend. They know we heap * on the crows when they have “brave” losses.

hmmm what about spunky or plucky.

 

[johnnysix]

I know we haven't set the world on fire over the past month but the almost complete lack of talk and analysis about us on all footy media over the course of this week and last is amazing. There's been an overwhelming Brisbane focus on this match. Plenty of ammo for psych warfare from the coaches if they want it. On the other hand we've come out said how scary finals are so why would we want any of the spotlight when we're bracing for failure?

Their job is done already, Ken’s got his contract extension. They’ve gone back to not paying us an attention.

11 "experts" in the paper this morning.

Only 1 of them has us making the GF, none of them the premiership.

But they probably all think we should keep Ken.

This could go in either media thread.
Meady is my all time favourite player.
Sad to see his interview/thoughts interwoven with the narrative about how successful we’ve been as an interstate club just to make finals….

Darren Mead recalls the stepping stones to greatness

Port Adelaide starts its 13th AFL finals series this week. The club's first AFL final - at the MCG against the eventual premier - remains an important foundation stone.
