That's why they won't drop Marsh. Very handy bowler.

Is Marsh the new Watson?

Woah woah woah. Totally uncalled for Marsh abuse.

How insulting, to be compared to Twatto

Perhaps. If you look at him as a bowling all rounder, he's a really good addition.

We'd really need a bullet proof top 6 if he is a bowling all rounder at 7

Jatz · Feb 15, 2016

I think that's exactly what he should be. He'd be very handy as a batsman if we had another 6 ahead of him.

I do think his bowling is good enough to keep him there.

Is Neville good enough to bat 6?

Hard to say, he's not had enough oppurtunites. I'd like to say yes though.

What are W.A streams like in quality? This SACA stream is excellent. Good picture quality, good commentary.

WA stream is iffy, commentary on a local radio station in 91.3 sport fm (can find online)

Woohoo. Bushies win again. Over 14 points clear on top with 3 games to play. Looking solid for the home final..... In Alice Springs.

MCG is unavailable again. Shield Final starts on the 26th of March, 24th of March (Easter Thursday) Richmond and Carlton play on the G. Easter Saturday (same day that the final starts) Melbourne play at the G. Don't have a clue why the MCC have allowed the AFL on the MCG earlier than usual. It should be available like it is every other year.

Alas similar to last season where the World Cup requisitioned the MCG, Victoria will have to play it out of Victoria as there at present isn't a 2nd First Class standard venue in the state and the proposed stadium of the Junction Oval is tied up in political games. Can't seem to get it redeveloped to bring it up to FC standard.

Isn't it a road in Alice? If so, nothing to worry about.

FWIW, I'd have it at the WACA if WA don't make it.

Was Easter bought forward last year? The AFL always open Easter don't they?

Also, I wonder if it was a gesture of goodwill for the World Cup causing the AFL to start late last season?

As would I, it'd rile them up no end after last season and is batsmen friendly

.... But would run the risk of the WACA curator preparing a minefield as payback

Easter is always based around when the March Equinox is and around the time of the full moon, hence why the Bells Beach pro is always on Easter.

The AFL regularly start around Easter though. Must be earlier than normal I guess.

I think it's probably a coincidence based around a preferred date of starting the season.

Like it won't be next year given Easter is in Mid April.
