Lol 4 of those would make the shortlist for shittest oval, and I haven't even been to Central United and Flinders Uni.


Mofflin Reserve only recently had their goals line up to each other, one wing goes forever, Argana is dung heap in the wet and bloody dangerous for parking.

Mitchams oval the best I’ve ever seen, club rooms and change room will be good but good luck to those that use the old ones before they are finished

There's some big losses in that lot:

Max Amber Reserve (Athelstone) v Happy Valley Sports Ground (Happy Valley): Can't remember what HV looks like but Max Amber has little appeal and is twisted.
Goodwood Oval (Goodwood) v Modbury Sports Ground (Modbury): Modbury has a good off-field set up but is a quagmire, having 230 teams wouldn't help though.
Henley Memorial Oval (Henley) v Houghton Memorial Oval (Houghton Districts): Not much of an argument.
Karen Rolton Oval (Old Ignatians) v Port Reserve (Portland): Agree with Fisty.
Harpers Field (Golden Grove) v Salisbury Oval (Salisbury): Shouldn't be up against each other so early.
Eagle Drones Oval (Westminster OS) v Fitzroy Sports Ground (Fitzroy): Tough opponent for Mt Fitzroy.
Streetfleet Oval (Col Light Gardens) v Rowe Park (Ingle Farm): CLG feels like an oval chucked in a paddock somewhere, would have a huge home advantage with the swirly breeze, Rowe Park would be nice viewing for a local.
Lockleys Oval (Lockleys) v Lindblom Park (Pooraka): Always found Lockleys a quaint spot, would be good to see the upgrades, Pooraka would be great if you're a Bull sitting under the verandah sinking pints.

Why is Happy Valley Oval in there? Should be Hope Valley maybe?

Does TTG's home ground get used for Ammo finals? Would be a great spot with a big crowd.

Uni oval (slightly biased) is by far the best I've played on until the first 1mm of rain has fallen for winter...then it's cactus.

Happy Valley are an affiliated club as their women's sides play in the league. Same with Angle Vale up north.

As standard goes, Happy Valleys is miles better then Hope Valley.. And Happy Valley is much better then Athelstone too..

because Happy have a girls team.

TTG couldn't have home finals due to their sporting clubs beer sponsorship

Not sure if that still applies.
