If it’s not good enough for a praccy match, it’s not good enough to train on in my opinion.

Should be going straight back to Bundoora. Tom Powell was highly complimentary of the surface out there. We are all going to spew up if players keep getting injured on a surface that looks a long way off.

That surface looks like a disaster waiting to happen.

That we were and to go a step further, I'd say we were being obliterated at times early on, having watched that game more than a few times the answer is that it was a combination of things that sparked what happened and pretty much left Gold Coast stunned and unable to reverse the momentum. Will, Tommy, Tarryn and young Goater, Bailey providing lots of run, Paul Curtis beautiful skills, Lazarro with his gut running, Jy's captaincy and performance after that heavy knock, Tucker played well but a full pre season he'll be a lot fitter, Kalum was really good to a point that he did all the little things that he needed to do.

While everyone played their part Tommy and Will were so good it wasn't funny, especially Will, all the little things he did with so much improvement to come has got me licking my lips, Nick showed why he's considered in the top 3 forwards in the competition with a lazy 9 and probably unlucky not to have kicked 12. A lovely display too from Elvis who showed as an 18 year old that he has that x factor. Finally, Harry, as a great cricket commentator used to say; "Superb Richie" {Harry}.

Just as North Melbourne began ticking names off its injury list, two more had trouble on Monday when Hugh Greenwood and Bailey Scott battled through a wet session.
Greenwood went down clutching at his left ankle during a mini match simulation, before leaving the track with a rolled ankle.

Winger Bailey Scott also only made the briefest of appearances, jogging lightly for a few minutes before returning indoor, complaining of calf tightness.

Paul Curtis only ran laps but the Roos put that down to managing his loads.

The session had started brightly for North Melbourne, with co-captain Luke McDonald taking part in all drills, including match sim.

McDonald has been on light duties for much of summer after a severe hamstring injury but he moved well and completed extra running after his teammates finished on the track.

Ruck Tristan Xerri was also involved in the entire session, sporting a helmet after he had surgery on his cheekbone late last month.

Xerri, who should start the season as the club’s No.1 ruck, ran strongly around Arden Street and showed no discomfort during a physical tackling hitout after training had finished.

Recruit Zac Fisher (hamstring) ran at decent speed as he joined Aidan Corr (knee) and Eddie Ford (ankle) in the rehab group.

The trio did resistance training and kicked together as they all make ground on being fit for pre-season matches.

Defender Jackson Archer was less mobile, as he worked through some running while in discussion with medicos about his sore groin.

Tarryn Thomas was again absent from training on Monday.

He remains away from the club during the AFL’s investigation into new domestic violence allegations.

When people say the surface is 'bad' or 'not ready,' what are they referring to? The earth underneath the grass is too soft?

AFL 2024: Zane Duursma outlines debut year goals as Hugh Greenwood cops ankle injury​

Just as two North Melbourne players showed positive signs on the injury front, two others had setbacks on a wet Monday, where a top draft pick announced where he would play in 2024.

YOUNG HOPES
Young Roo Zane Duursma has his eye on a round 1 debut while his fellow draftee Colby McKercher found plenty of the ball during match sim.
Played only in a small portion of the ground and with limited numbers, McKercher started the gameplay at half-back alongside Harry Sheezel, with the pair running out of defence several times.
Rain hit hard during this portion of the session, leading to some scrappy skills but the duo worked well together in a backline that also featured Toby Pink and Luke McDonald.

Taken one pick after McKercher, with the fourth selection in November’s draft, Duursma will be planted at the other end and play forward to start his career.
He said he has been working with Jaidyn Stephenson to get a handle on settling in alongside others like Nick Larkey and Cam Zurhaar.
“I’m predominantly going to play forward this year, whether I get pushed up into the midfield, I don’t really know yet,” he said.
“I think that probably my strength is my overhead marking and my goal sense. I think that if I bring those two into the forward line, we are going to have a pretty strong forward line.”

Duursma said playing against the GWS Giants in round 1 was “a goal I have set myself coming into this year” as he aims to replicate Sheezel’s brilliant first season.
“Seeing what ‘Sheez’ did in his first year, being able to replicate that would be an absolute dream of mine,” Duursma said.

Are you implying that players can hurt their ankle at any ground? Or are you implying that ankle injuries make up 15.63% of all football injuries and players have a 10% chance of injuring their ankle at training and a 76% chance of injuring it during a game.

I could have sworn the photo of greenwood’s ankle at the moment of injury shows the turf completely stable underneath his foot, but like you say, not being a turf management expert, what would I know

Means the roots of the grass in the laid surface haven't properly taken into the soil underneath, which means it can shift when pressure is placed on it horizontally (like you would with running/changing direction).

A stupid analogy but - If you put 2 planks on top of each other, they'll slip around on top of each other, but if you hammer some nails in (Roots) it holds them in place.

Marvel has had a storied history of issues with turf in this regard, a few years back people were doing ankles on it weekly and it was put down to the turf not settling in properly.

Last year they even had a section pull up:
