Lets hope the directors make the right decision and change ovals this week! Tanunda oval should never been considered as a possible finals venue this year due to its condition. Surely there are better ovals than that around at this stage of the year, hopefully something is learnt from this and it doesn't happen again! All i can say is good luck to tanunda with training on it for the next few weeks, hope it doesn't take too much out of your legs! then again i suppose it wont matter will it swooper! heard you guys already got back-2-back shirts made up!!!!
Toronto you tell which oval in this league would have looked good last weekend after the rain we had, the answer is none. Tan pitch has been bad this season but when the BLG set the finals they do not have a crystal ball to tell them the forecast. Fact is that all final have to be shared around and Tanunda has only had 2 in the last decade. No t-shirts made just yet.

Willaston Oval in terrific condition at the present be lucky even if the square was muddy on saturday.
Correct. Willaston is always in great condition... Cant see why they couldnt get given a final this year.
Williamstown is too small to host a final and especially after the rain we have had over the past two weeks the ground is definately going to struggle to hold up...
Willaston oval may well have been looking the goods but the reason they have no finals this year is because they had the GF last year, very simple. As swooper said all finals have to be shared around but as we know the distribution is not always fair, some clubs eg. Kapunda & Nuri do seem to get their fair share (maybe even Freeling).
At this stage Freeling is full of the Hodges rumour but there is no official announcment just yet.
