Haha, i can imagine !!! Ivan was pretty full on. He made one of his sides go for a several km run after a game one day because he thought they played so badly. He always looked highly stressed, used to throw the magnet board often !


We were stuffing around so much one game and losing by about 5 goal he spat it threw the board and said coach yourselves. We picked it up moved everyone where they should have been and won by about 3. He didn't seem to like that either.


:lol: I've saw that happen at school as well

Kenilworth is the 2nd biggest ground in SA (Square metres) behind Hamra Homes Oval. Not too windy, keep it low and you will be fine. Just ask the opposition over the past 3 years they seem to do it well :lol:

Portland have never been in Div 5..........Div 4 is the lowest they have been...............unless you count the days when they were Ethelton or Albies United.

IMO turf pitch at the start of the year is terrible, so hard and when it rains its a big giant mud pit.. prefer a hard wicket pitch over a turf one anyday.. everyone is going to be different about there ovals.. he said we have the worst oval in saafl, highly doubt it

BL is far from the best oval (ugly surroundings, soccer / footy lines everywhere, average visitors changerooms) but it certainly isnt the worst! the actual surface isnt too bad, and goal post are in good condition / height. I hate going to grounds where the goal posts arent straight and are smaller than average...

The middle cricket pitch is standard, most grounds are cricket ovals in summer.

Aldinga is a good oval, as is Noarlunga.

Happy Valley, and Flagstaff Hill are the worst
