Whats the surface like at the ground?? Would hate to see any...well you know...

Read my mind WAT as I was scrolling through those pics and got to the ground one.

Mmm, don't think I would be taking our guns there, unreal isn't it, as much as people say the NAB cup is not important a loss could actually have serious consequences for loosing teams that have to play on second rate ovals. If this oval is second rate.

Our win/loss record has nothing to do with where we play for weeks 2 and 3 of the NAB Cup.  This was all put in places months ago.

All of our NAB Cup games are televised.

I can assure everyone that the ground is perfect for AFL football. The picture posted by OE is the oval next door. Norm Minns Oval has had plenty spent on it over the last few years to not only get these games but to also be the headquarters for the Murray Bushies. I was there for the Essendone no show last year and St Kilda played  an intra club game on it despite it having inches of rain on it in the previous 24 hours.

im surprised that these country teams can field a team by the end of the season. the attrition rate dues to injury from playing on these second rate ovals must be huge  ::)

Most of us were commenting on the oval that was shown in the photo al and that oval does look "second rate". :whistle

Um, not so sure that is the ground. There are two grounds in Wang, one beside the other. That looks like WJ Findlay Oval, the showgrounds is Norm Minns Oval, which is in a lot better nick.
You're right GR12. Sorry the site I looked up wrongly had the Findlay Oval as the one. I've fixed my first post.

This is a pic of the Showgrounds (Norm Minns) Oval. Definitely in better condition than the one next door.

i can also assure you that WJ Findlay Oval is a great surface also, both for footy and cricket. Not sure what the go is with the patchy grass but it still looks better than the Gabba did a season or two ago. WJ Findlay is the ground where Barry Hall's former team (Wang Rovers) plays. I watched the Fev versus Baz game there last year and it was perfect.

comment still applies, regardless of which oval you talk about.

Love the Bitumen road around the ground. Boys on the bench will have to watch out when warming up. Hope the club has someone to yell "Car!" like we did when I was a kid playing kick to kick on the road.

The hooter is back and in fine form.  :lol Could be worse though Owl with Shannon signing Hammerhead in a duet with James Reyne and half a dozen McCulloch's on full revs for backing.  ;D
