If every oval was like that then sure, no worries. The fact that this is the worst of all we've seen, and by a reasonable margin, shows they haven't managed their oval appropriately.
It was the heavy rain we had last Monday night/Tuesday that did the damage I'd say. I know at Grange my rain gauge measured just over 60 mm in less than 24 hours. That and the fact the oval really doesn't get a break during the week at all has done the damage. As I said in an earlier post, it's the worst condition I've seen it in in my 20 years. Wouldn't be surprised if they try and move the C grade game scheduled for Saturday elsewhere.
