Joey's "Slip" !!

[Eastern]

I don't know if this has been already brought up but where Joey "Slipped" was right on the Toyota logo. I don't know if the paint/dye they use is slippery or not and I did notice many players losing their footing. It was just an observation I made from watching the replay !!

[stinger]

the whole slab of turf moved...like a mate on a slippery floor....

[Sainterman]

Between the shifting surface at Etihad, where players were slipping all night, the standard of umpiring across nearly all the games, and the crazy chook lotto system that is the MRP...you really have to wonder about how the game is being run at an operational level. Just not good enough.

Lot of discussion on this issue.

the surface is a joke and I do hope someone sues the ass of collo if they get injured.

From the press Roo and Judd came close I think.

And what would that achieve. lets get like the Yanks and sue people for everything. That would be great.

Maybe the Ostrich might actually fix the issue if he is threatened with a lawsuit?

A lesson for Collo that his rubbish stadium surface is not up to standard.

He isn't being held accountable so let the courts decide.

As for the american litigious system, it works, if people break the law then they should be accountable.

The law. what is the law about slipping. Yep lets sue them and get less return from each game. That sounds great. Lets sue the moorabbin ground. lets sue sue.

Given the inaction on the issue, I'm not sure what options are left.

The law is about a safe work environment.

If the moorabbin ground was unsafe to play on then its the responsibility of the owners to make it safe.

BTW the moorabbin ground was muddy not unsafe, muddy made is slow, heavy and tired players, not dangerous.

As for suing TD, what do I care about the AFL or TD, i care about St Kilda and screw vlad, collo et al, why should I give a rats about TD management? if they go to the wall, someone else will buy TD, probably for 30c in the dollar given their debt.

Clearly from your opinion you have no concern about hte surface and inaction and don't mind if monty ripped his knee up or some other saints player had their season ended because of the complete lack of action by Collo and his crew despite years of criticism.

[saint vince]

How about the players wear screw in boots.

I have hear a lot of commentary from recently retired players in the last week saying that it is the cleat boots as much as the surface but current players refuse to wear anything else.

The ground is slippery but it is als.o our home ground. Sueing the owners f our home ground for slipping over would achieve a big fat zero apart from bad will. What do want from them money for slipping over. It would actually be laughed out of court.

Funnily enough I dont think the Saints are stupid or emotional enough to do something like that.They willprobably show commonsense and work with the stadium.

Spot On P66. Ross on SEN yesterday was very deliberate in his talk about the surface and was clearly playing a diplomatic line. A no win situation for the club and any other tenant that plays there. A very different case for past players and players from non tenant clubs.

[saintspremiers]

There are only two solutions left for the corrupt arsehole that Collo is:

(1) Spend a heap more money and replace more turf more often - it's clear that the Eastern side of the ground is a sandpit and threadbare - needs replacing immediately.

(2) Use fake turf for the whole surface instead of natural grass.

Heat lamps appear to be not doing enough at the moment.

IF Collo can't adopt either (1) or (2), we need to look at trying to play, say, 3 home games at the G, to limit our exposure at the Etihad, or perhaps push for more of our away games to played at the G.

[Dan Warna]

oh so we aren't going to do anything and if roo snaps his knee because of a crap surface and its bad luck then we wear it, or if two players snap their knees because the surface is crap, it is bad luck and we move on.

Good on you Collo, marvellous job, lie and you have supporters at st kilda that put your profits ahead of the health of our players.

Frankly I don't care if collo and TD go to the wall, and Its pretty tragic that you put his $$ and his pay cheque ahead of our players health and safety.

its all good collo, no one has the balls to stand up to you and your rubbish stadium and if someone does, there are people at st kilda who will defend your right to provide a crap surface and terrible conditions.

the ground was horrid hope your guys pull up ok from it they need to fix it !

they will get sued for it one day i am sure

well if that's the case Joey should make a quick visit to Collo's house and pinch his heart tablets!

[satchmo]

How about the players wear screw in boots.

Only works if the surface is consistent right across the ground. And it's not.

Also, you tend to pull up a bit more sore in the legs with screw in stops.

[satchmo]

well if that's the case Joey should make a quick visit to Collo's house and pinch his heart tablets!

Collo has a heart? Proof?

[Dan Warna]

Collo has a heart? Proof?

Its an artificial one made from torn ligaments and fueled by the dollars he milks from TD...
