Why are we so bad at Marvel Stadium?

[Growapair]

It makes no sense to me, didn’t we extend punt road to match the dimensions of it?

Punt Rd same dimensions as Dicklands


It is not the size, it is the surface. Harder to force turnover due to predictable bounce lends itself to precise football, where foot speed and foot skills win out.

In over a decade Dumma and his DUD's (Dimma's Useless Disciples) didn't come up with a different style of play, and team selection to suit the ground.

Like how the hell do I know this and our football department don't???

Our club really has negative vibes over this place. No wonder the AFL has it in for us. As much as I love our older players but the quicker they move on the quicker we can right this ship.

Hope our next coach addresses the issue. We need to start winning games at this venue again.

Because the Grand Finals are played at the "G"

We all know that but it wont change the fact that we will forever have to play home games at Marvel. The club needs to snap out of this crap idea that if we keep complaining then it might change.

Never going to happen.

Maybe our poor skills are shown up with the roof shut , no wind etc & we constantly turn the ball over & teams cut us up on the rebound with better skills

Riewoldt saying the place should be burnt down to the ground in his presser

Adding another decade of bullshit from the AFL against us. Best

Surprised the AFL just dont tell us that Teague will be our next coach and all our home games have been moved to Geelong.

Yeah you're right stupid match committee should have thrown the game plan we created that suits the MCG (where all major finals, the GF and most of our home games are played) in the bin so we could mix up our continuity of game plan to extract a win or two at Marvel every year

Having worked at Marvel Stadium for 10years, couldn’t agree more lol

Seriously champ?

Is that our game plan that is 3 years passed it's used by date?

Can't believe the morons on here still acting like we are still reigning premiers.
We are not that, we are the club that has, played one final in three years and won none.

As a club we need to take our head out of our arses and realise that the Club is actually heading for another 30 years in football wilderness, not an high EI Coach away from Nirvana.

If they opened the roof we’d be a 5 goals better

I can’t wait for tigers v suns next year at marvel

Blockbuster written all over it

Game plan still holding up for Collingwood (with some tweaks)

The game plan is fine it’s a personnel issue at the minute

That was so good

 

[guruisatiger]

The players are in tune with us the supporters and members
They live off our negativity, no air, no sun, no stars, no moon
It's ****ing indoors, it's a ****ing joke, as jack said burn the place to the ground

 

[tigersab]

Footy is an outdoor sport… open the fuggin roof!

 

[Wavvey]

In my opinion it’s pretty simple and I find the whole conversation about this quite frustrating. Especially when other fans mock us for being sooks.

Games at marvel look almost a completely different sport. Faster deck, no wind, the ball barely hits the ground at all. The ball pings around fast and accurately. Richmond’s tough style of play is at a complete disadvantage because we never get opportunities to win the ball on the ground in a 50-50. Less space to knock it forward and run onto.

Hate the place.
