Watched the Rossies v Lockleys game on Saturday and it seemed to be a fair gap between the two sides.

Rossies had marking options all over the ground and managed to snuff out any run the much younger Lockleys side looked to generate.

Rossies kicked to the Eastern End in the first quarter with a breeze that might have added 2-3 goals, they didn't use the ball all that well going forward and wasted some opportunities. They then held Lockleys with the wind to lead at half time and kicked away after the major break.

Lockleys didn't use the ball well going either way but really struggled to move the ball West into the breeze. Rossies, on the other hand, scored at both ends of the ground.

One thing I did notice ( and as a local who see's the oval a lot but doesn't really look at it - if you know what I mean ) is the poor condition of the oval at the clubroom end. Obviously the bulk of training would be done at that end, but it was bare, no grass and looked rock hard*.

All in all, was a pretty good game, but if 4th > 5th is that big a gap I couldn't see Locks going far into finals if that game was true to form.

Wasted many opportunities, it was 4.9 at qtr time and something like 10.19 at 3/4 time. Yep the oval is ordinary but what can we do, at least it wasn't a bog like so many other ovals at this time of the year.

[Footy Chick]

Yeah, a bit rich complaining that an oval is too dry in the middle of winter.

Still runs the bloody wrong way though

Well if it ran the other way the wings would be too wide and the length would be too short....

Would Rosewater be one of the only ground that runs East-West? I've tried thinking of others but cant think of many, only ones that maybe similar perhaps PNU is a little bit that way, and Gaza?

The MCG, at the risk of getting Jetters attention again, I think Unley does?

Don't think Para Hills, Seaton or Houghton are? Although i've probably got my bearings wrong when i've been to those grounds

What about Athelstone

Brahma Lodge, Seaton would be, Plympton, Unley, CBC, Rosewater

Gaza would come close since they moved the goalposts too...they're more south east to north west

[Arch44]

Alberton?

[Footy Chick]

Geebus, if you and PG were boy scouts, you'd get lost

reckon the lodge is more south/north..

Yep, you're right, considering it follows Main NOrth Road

[Phantom Gossiper]

I can find my way to any fridge and pub - what more do i need to find?!

[X Runna]

Para Hills runs north south, North Pines runs east west

[Lightning McQueen]

Para Hills runs north south, North Pines runs east west

Surely not, it's on a bit of an angle but I wouldn't have thought so.

I do get told to get lost occasionally but sometimes its a bit ruder
