Re: Dogs at the Gabba
Interesting stat.
It's not the ground that's a factor- that's simply an oval shaped sporting ground covered in grass.
Which players did they have? Who were their opponents?
Might as well say an ice-hockey team hasn't won at a certain rink for 3 years.
It's an indoor ice-rink.

Re: Dogs at the Gabba
I disagree - grounds, particularly outdoor ones, can require a certain style of game play - and the swirls of the wind when kicking for goal can have a huge influence.WellardSaint wrote: ↑Sat 26 Sep 2020 12:51pm Interesting stat.

Umps have more influence than ground conditions

Re: Dogs at the Gabba
Good stat Faulky - obviously ground environs play a significant role in a teams psyche, we should take confidence from this fact and use it to our advantage rather than just blindly bag it out.

Re: Dogs at the Gabba
I’m surprised they haven’t played there given how few venues have been used. It’s like us playing a final at the G against Collingwood.
Opinions are like arseholes, everybody's got one.

Re: Dogs at the Gabba
Been cooler the last few days up here after early summer last week lol - was only 12 at 6 am this morn. 25 and sunny predicted for Sat - should be about 22 at game time and get cooler as it’s get dark. Perfect to smash bullfrogs
