In the Riverland, Moorook has a 40-metre line. You could kick a goal from a centre clearance there.
TransAdelaide's Oval was also very small.
I always felt like Paringa was the biggest oval in the Riverland, its boundaries just kept going.

Do balls end up in the Murray @ Paringa? I only seen it from the road but looks like you could dob one in the drink or hit one over the mid-wicket fence into it.

I would think the perimeter so take some metres off that measurement for the oval size.

I was thinking the same. I love umpiring there, well pre-July anyway.

In the SFL Bice Oval at Christies is the biggest with Cove the smallest (short but very wide)

I remember that one, we played them and Ovingham in the same year, I'd say Ovingham is the smallest I've ever played on, I thought we'd score massively being on such a small ground but had an adverse affect on us as we we're all cramped and couldn't find space, it was easily the worst game I've ever played.
My daughter was born the previous day though, could've been a contributing factor.
Who did you play for back then LM?
