[gerkin greg]

what the eff are they playing it at flog oval for?

Because it is in mint condition at the minute and is about the same size as Etihad 

And i think the Dogs have today off as they are playing the scratch match tomorrow

Didn't we have a hand in Craigieburn so we can play this sort of match there?

Or is the ground crap?

If you are referring to paying for Craigieburn then as I have said many times NO we didn't "have a hand in Craigieburn". We didn't part with $0.01 but we do have an arrangement to use that facility
 
Not sure what state the Craigieburn surface is at the moment

Personally IMHO if Craigieburn is right to use they should use it but it isn't up to me

[Coach]

What's it like at Craigieburn? Saw a few Coburg matches on TV in 2010 (I think) and it was bloody windy there. Is that the norm?

Can be but the facilities for the players & the fans (seating wise, kiosk wise) are miles ahead of the old VFL venues like Coburg City Oval etc

Wasn't our (non-finanacial I know) committment to the place part of the reason why it was funded by the Council in part?

And Whitten Oval is any better.

Windy Days at the Western Oval
 
In a game typical of the worst that the Western Oval wind could offer, Footscray beat Fitzroy in a close game by the score of 14.9.93 vs 13.7.85 in Round 10, 1964. Of the total of 178 points scored in the game, only 7 were scored against the wind. When Footscray met Fitzroy in Round 17, 1927, only 6 of 173 points were kicked against the wind. In 1948's Footscray vs Geelong game, only 2 of the 58 scoring shots were made into the wind. The wind was so fierce that when the Geelong full-back Bruce Morrison kicked the ball off after Footscray had scored a behind, the ball floated back over his head and went through the goals. The Goal umpire signalled a "forced behind". While these are extreme examples, it was common to see no more than two or three goals kicked into the wind, while fourteen or fifteen would be scored at the other end.
