Well they didn't use them because according to your coach (note the quotation marks) they were "too small".

Again what word would you replace "rejected" with?

Shunned?

That would work

You're the journo/writer, you come up with something more appropriate if you don't feel it is accurate. Obviously you think "rejected" is an accurate assessment?

The rooms were used before the game and after the game,yes? So I'd agree with Rusty, "rejected" isn't all that accurate. If I rejected something I'd not use it at all, I'd not accept it. I'd reject it.

So in this instance the rooms weren't rejected they were indeed used, the group just chose to get some fresh air at half time instead of cramming themselves into the change rooms provided.

None of the half time events were negatively impacted upon.

Anyway, I like a good fuss over nothing so please feel free to keep the head lines coming.

Semantics, Booney. You're arguing semantics.

It is a fuss over nothing, you're right.
But so is the PAFC deciding the rooms were too small.

The SANFL should be renamed the PANFL. They want everything their way. The rooms were too small. I've heard everything. Richmond oval used since 1956. Have the magpies suddenly realized the small change rooms.

If the PAFC think the Richmond rooms are small then WTF are they going to do at Glenelg? Also have they popped their head in to the visitors side at Alberton?

No, the smears were well within their rights to fold their arms and pout over this. None of the other 17 AFL clubs has to leave their manicurist, reiki worker, fluffers and other essential staff in the players race; it's just not acceptable, dammit!

You can fit only so many man buns in one room.

The change rooms weren't "rejected" as the headline states, just the amount of people around the playing group at the half time break meant the rooms would be cramped, so they decided to stay on the ground. Used a part of the ground that wasn't used by mini league or kick and a catch.

Thats unusual, when Ive been to Richmond this year the middle is used for mini league and the north/south ends are both used for kids to have a kick and catch, so where were they?

Where the mini-league and kick'n'catch wasn't. Simples really.

So, they had to move to make way for the half time huddle? Yes, or no?
Simple really.

When I was at Richmond there was not a huge crowd, but the entire areas set aside for a kick to the northern end of the mini league were still well populated.

Why not move the entourage rather than the playing group?

You blokes should stay out during the half time break. You know, keep playing, maybe win a match every once in a while.

I've read a couple of comments to the contrary already.
What makes you an authority on half time activities at Richmond?

From Phil H's article :

"Luckily there proved enough room for everyone to co-exist on the oval"

In addition to the above comments by a Glenelg fan, I'll supply the following from a journalist, our very own Phil H
Rather than use the visitors changerooms supplied, the Port Magpies decided to set up camp on the oval on the south west half forward flank just next to the mini league game, an area normally reserved for kids & parents to have a kick and catch.
Come on Booney, tell me those poor kids weren't denied their favourite spot for a kickncatch because Port couldn't find the space for all their swelled heads in the Westies changerooms.
