The best and worst grounds to play footy on

[Golo#46]

Paralowie's off field stuff was a shocker last I wen't there, and the ground had a sandpit in the middle.
Eastern Park's was a sandpit with the odd tuft of grass and rusted can lid.
Houghton Districts (heard they folded or left SAAFL or something) was put in the stupidest place ever. If the boundary ump wasn't careful, he'd end up in a creek and if players aren't careful, they'd smash their face on the steep hill about a metre outside the boundary line.
West Croydon's oval seems to flood way too easily.

As for the best ground, umm... well obviously I think my team's ground is pretty good (biased) even though it can get pretty hard... Damn, lost it!

Some of the worst ovals that I have played on over the years. TTG, Paralowie, and many times I've nearly lost my boots at Modbury. Although i cant comment on what they are like now but they do stick out as the worst ive played on over the years. My favourite grounds that ive played on are Salisbury which looks really good at the moment, Kilburn and broadview when it comes to playing amatuer league. although my absolute favourites are Adelaide oval and Hamra homes oval (Elizabeth)

Kenilworth oval was a shocker last saturday, dont no how an oval can be so sandy??? on the sidelines everytime the ball bounced you would see a huge puff of sand, can ny1 tell me why it was that bad??? atleast it was green but was like playing on sandpaper

Called top soil mate, might be a bit sandy now but in 8 weeks time when the grounds thick and lush no one will be complaining. many other grounds will be interesting,if the grass is dead now you would think even the smallest rain will turn it to mud.

Morphetville pk 2 weeks ago was one of the worst. Besides its unusual shape can easily seeing it turn to a bog of an oval. Clubrooms were nice inside though.

Morphy parks is a shocker, its always been called the graveyard but not been feared in recent years.

Similar ground to brahma lodge I reckon. But a bit more intimate with the supporters being so close to the action like hope valley. But I cant say I have ever enjoyed playing at morphy parks.....

played Sacred Heart Best oval i have played on in a very long time

[carey18]

Played at Thebby oval saturday and it is a very very good oval

[hawkseye]

We were at Houghton on saturday whilst its not the best or worst oval, its in the best condition i have seen it, very green.

I forgot the Sacred Heart Ground. I played my school football there when Brian Quist was the first 18 coach in 95 and 94. Was probably the best surface outside aami and adelaide oval back then

[Slipper]

In Barossa League,

Worst = Williamstown Oval: You should probly play in stilts you sink that far when its wet
Best = Nuri and Willaston have good grounds. Always green and safe underfoot

[Bronco]

Thebby by far the best cause it does not get used very often, Sals Nth also good but can be a bit hard.

Gaza worst along with Houghton.

[Bearno5]

Myponga in its day before the drainage was the worst. Willunga side of a hill
Not in SA but played on Western Suburbs in Sydney and had broken bricks poking out of the topsoil.
Best Strath, Langhorne Creek, Goolwa, Pt Augusta and Yank except for the visitors Changrooms

[wobbly knees]

on the mallee highway you will find a spot on the road they call a town called peake. It is the worst oval, it's on a hill it is so small it's pointed at the ends so it has no pockets. Last time i played there the ball hit the post and the post fell over. The change rooms are smaller than your dogs kennel. Also it doesn't even have a 50 mtr line

[carey18]

Wobbly Kness you have no idea. I played at peake last season and have played on many worse grounds!.
