And the grass on Adelaide Oval looks to be in excellent condition. At least for this first match …..

Crows killing Carlton atm. 36 pts up nearing the end of the first quarter.
Adelaide dominating but man the umpires really have a pro Adelaide agenda
Haven't seen the Crows for ages, but they seem to have improved a lot since last year.
Who’s that in number 12, looks a handy player

Some champagne ball movement in this first game Blues v Crows .
Why shouldn’t the first Gather round be hosted in this splendid city, when most weekends they Gather substantially in Bleak City.
Where would Sydney host 9 games ?
SCG, Olympic Park (Stadium Australia & Giants Stadium aka the Showground Stadium), Blacktown Internationals Sports Park).
None of these share the attraction of a central CBD location (compared with Adelaide) and at this time of year Sydney Easter show rules out Giants Stadium.
And neither the local population nor the Government would support it the way is happening in Adelaide.
I think Adelaide is a good choice.
50 metres for dissent doesn't seem to be a rule any more. Not that I really mind. What I do mind though, is how rules are emphatically enforced for a week or two, then quietly forgotten about. Until they get plucked out again, a month or two later.
Now if the AFL was serious about showing how much of a powerhouse it is, it would hold it in Sydney, and see how good it was at selling out a game out at Blacktown. I reckon Gold Coast vs the Fairypuppies would be a decent challenge. Achieve a sell out for that and they would convince me of the success of gather round haha!
