looking at the local grounds on near map, it was surpising to see that Elizabeth, Woodville, Norwood, Unley and Richmond all have straight wings... so basically being rectangles with rounded ends..

I guess that's why they're ovals and not circles

I think Mickey wants to know why they're not shaped like Milk Arrowroot biscuits.

It also looks like Unley has been shortened to provide more room for the Tennis courts area on the Southern side.

Could be worse. Could all be shaped like Morphettville Park's "oval"...

Ha ha, I played a few games at Morphettville and literally saw people getting lost on the outer wing, I stuck to the clubrooms side.
Prospects a retarded egg but at least it doesn't have straight wings, that really annoys me and shouldn't be allowed IMHO.
At least Adelaide oval is now an oval for the first time!

When they do the stand on the eastern side, I think you will find it will be a true oval.
